    The game is okay - a huge seller on psvr platform but developers don't support the platform pushing out half assed half complete ( no single saber mode) paid song packs - which is a huge slap in the face for what is a huge potential player base

    I didnt want to buy the game at 36$, but my kids wanted to play the game really bad. The game concept and game play are very cool and fun.

However, there are limited number of songs which you can play and get really bored with selection very quickly. I and kids played the game for a few days and now we are bored with songs and stopped playing the game. The kids are typically looking for those songs of their favorite singers (i.e. Dua Lipa, Ariana grande, etc...).

    I wish they could allow custom songs like PC.

    I dont believe that price is justified for the songs selection. I recommend the game, but wait until the price goes down or until they offer more free/addon songs selection.    … Expand

    Original tracks and maps SUCK.

    The devs just dont know how to do interesting maps. Nor show any effort in the right way. They've got tenths of good maps examples, but just dont care, they keep doing boring maps. If you dont know why, just go and download a few tracks by the moding community. I guarantee you will never ever again play one of theirs.

    I played beat sabers original tracks 1-2 only.

    But wait, no, you cant play moded tracks anymore because devs got gready EA and disabled mods so they could sell their dlc more easily. Which also suck because its the same genre of music and they made the maps. Their trying to sell this **** 30$ for ~9 songs made 5 years ago. All from the same artists.    … Expand

    When I first started playing this game, I generally couldn't get enough of it. But over time, I was getting unnecessary updates for the game, and they seemed to be making the game worse. Most of the maps don't really have a rhythm to them, and it just shows how little the developers care about this game. my one question for the developers is why bother putting notes that you have to hitWhen I first started playing this game, I generally couldn't get enough of it.

You pay more for the PS4 version of this game, but on Steam its cheaper and you get more features, which in my opinion I believe is ridiculous. The song selection is pathetic and playing their songs a few times can easily bore you out your mind. I could think of so many more interesting things to do than play Beat Saber. Like maybe watching paint dry or even sitting in an empty room for 4 hours straight doing nothing.… Expand

    DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. In it's current state the motion tracking is awful. If you turn on the game and navigate through the PS menus, you'll see how sluggish and unresponsive it becomes. It does NOT happen with any other game, literally just this bag of cat ****

    **** THIS GAME.

    Отличный геймплей и полное убийство версии для ps4 за счёт невозможности добавления кастомных треков.
    Игра есть, но играть в нее ты не можешь...

    A good session with Beat Saber literally leaves me breathless. When I’m in the groove, swinging red and blue sabers to precisely bisect an onslaught of incoming boxes as fast as I can might be as close to the feeling of being a Jedi at a rave as I’ll ever come. This challenging rhythm game is definitely a little light on tracks out of the box, but what’s there is both catchy and highly replayable due to the way its scoring system encourages pinpoint accuracy and followthrough, plus a handful of alternate modes to play them on.

    Anyone can play and look cool with this instant-classic VR rhythm game. The PS4 version is great, but the PSVR exclusive content does not offer that much appeal.

    Regardless of the platform (PC or PS4) Beat Saber is one of the best VR games ever created. I know that slashing flying cubes with lightsabers might not sound like much fun, but believe me that it is, in no small part thanks to the fact that your movements are recreated in the virtual world perfectly.
