    Best VR game ever made. I just LOVE Beat Saber. I bought this game because everyone was saying it's the best VR game. Played it for 30 minutes, I was sweating so much but i really enjoyed it. Now i have like 20 hours on Beat Saber and still love it. Borrowed it to my grandma, brother and mom and they enjoyed it too. 10/10 VR game for me but it would be better if there would be custom songsBest VR game ever made. I just LOVE Beat Saber.

    Fantastic video game! Super fun as exciting and, above all, fascinating.
    Kudos to the developers for hunting this pearl in an increasingly barren market. Well done!

    Really fun to play on VR, a really down for the game is the cost of the new musics

    So the new Fallout Boy pack really mixes things up for Beat Saber with some new arc moves whichthat are soooooooooooooo satisfying to pull off. On some cubes an arc will appear connecting it to the next one and you have to follow it around with your saber.

    Music's great as well. Nice to see fresh content coming out on a regular basis, even new concepts on how to play.

    I'm more of a "wrist" player because the PS4 tracking camera is barely functional and this new pack makes you perform wide arcing motions. Again, feels just so good to do.    … Expand

    It is easy to adapt, very entertaining and fun, and it has a very promising future with free DLC and songs, online mode, as well as new mechanics such as the slice blocks that we saw in the teasers, it is a very good purchase.

    This game is so fun, it gets you in the move, I feel like my reflexes have improved and most songs are bops, I like the rhythm of the way your arm swings and moves.

    I really want to love this game, and part of me does. But the lack of genre variations cripples this game to a horrible degree. Unless you like one specific genre of ear splitting aggressive techno, you will hate this. The dlc only includes 4 bands, and they are fine... but after having played Rockband, it's obvious these developers only care about PC players and electronic music

    Over all a great game
    Fun Relaxing when playing casually and provides a good challange for when ur going for high scores
    My only complaint is how few free songs there are
    I really hope that the devs add a few more free songs in to the game
    But for the price it's definitely worth a purchase

    Great game, It's a must to have if you have PSVR, the only problems are the song packs sold separately as DLC, the core game is solid and fun. the best available modes are one hand, 2 hands, no directional arrows on cubes and 90° mode.

    I will say this is in the top level of PS VR games. I do think it's a must play game for the VR system. I will say the hype of Beat Saber for me came from the DLC songs such as Green Day and Imagine Dragons.

I also didn't like the inaccuracy of the scoring system. I would do a song feeling I did amazing, I even would hit more notes. Yet my score came out lower.
    Clearly the game requires lots of practice, hundreds of hours possibly. I personally had no problem getting from Easy to Hard, but the bridge from Hard to Expert is off compared to the training to get to Hard. I feel it just falls into the same issues Guitar Hero has because it's such a jump.
    Lastly, I have to say, the PSVR Tracking doesn't do this game any favour either. Lots of issues with that.
    I really was expecting the experience I saw from PC players, but the difference is night and day.
    They also recently in the last year I'm told changed the scoring system and upped the point value of "cuts", this has made score ratings even harder to get.    … Expand

    I just wish there was more music, especially rock / metal music. It has just like 20+ dance songs, with some synth guitar in 2 of them. It's weird, since unlike guitar hero or rock band, they have indie music and they don't need license of many big bands, or tracks specially edited for the game with separated instrument layers. Indie musicians would give them their music free.    … 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 ****

Very accessible game for all ages and types of players. I got this game for free with my PSVR, but I would’ve bought it as a stand-alone if it didn’t come with it. I also played the DLC, which was enjoyable, and the campaign of the main game provided a fun little expansion as well. The controls are tight and the PS Move controllers work very well with the game. My only complaints are that party mode makes no sense (only one VR at a time?) and that there aren’t enough songs (30-40, Depending on if you get DLC). Once they add more songs, perhaps it will be even better; amazing game as it is though.… Expand

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.

    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.

    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.
