    Regardless of platform, Groove Coaster is an interesting rhythm game. Although it has leaderboards to please the more competitive types, the game is really about experiencing the songs as a visual ride. Correct inputs act as the mechanism to make the ride more audibly pleasant. The controls work well enough, but the amount of songs available is dwarfed by those in the mobile release. The need to replay all of the songs on all of the difficulty levels can feel tedious. The PC version may not be the best one, but it's still a good port of a fresh rhythm title.

    The PC version’s main problem is that it’s a straight port. They needed to change something in order to optimize the screen and controls for the hardware.

    Enjoy the visuals when riding 'a roller coaster' from point A to point B and Tap-Tap to win. Amazing OST with big names in the industry like REDALiCE, T+Pazolite, C-Show, DJ Myosuke, Xi, Void, Samping Master MEGA, TATSH, Chroma, Massive New Krew, DJ Genki, sky_delta, M-Project, aran, Maozon, Riran, KO3. Something every BEMANI vsrg lover will definitely enjoy.
    However, the PC port of the game feels lackcluster to say the least.

    The UI looks ugly. It's not very pleasant to look at considering there are tons of game in the genre that do it way better: Sound Voltex, Beatmania IIDX, Pop'n Music, Arcaea, Cytus II and many many more. It's just baffling to see this little detail and taste in presentation from the UI standpoint.
    The input lag. It's present and is very annoying since it's not consistent. Your result may vary a lot even when you play on easier difficulties. The harder the song, the more noticable it becomes.
    These two problems is what gets it a 7/10 in my eyes.    … Full Review »

    Currently, controller support is lacking in functionality and there are still some other minor bugs.
    This would be a solid 10/10 with song editor, so we could make our own stages.    … Full Review »
