    Groove Coaster, to me, isn't a game about precision and perfection, like most rhythm games. It's a game about letting your senses get overwhelmed, and enjoying the music through sight and touch as much as by hearing it; the "game" is just one means of bringing that about. More than anything else, Groove Coaster is a game about losing yourself in the music, and that's something it achieves perfectly.

    Aside from a few minor grievances, this port of Groove Coaster is more than suitable for fans of rhythm and music games. The included songs are all great and will definitely put up a stiff challenge. As for the user-interface, it's minimalistic and easy to navigate. The support for various control schemes is really appreciated. Given enough time and dedication, players will find a style that works for them. The Non-Stop Mix mode is a really fun addition, as well.

    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 »
