  • Summary: Beat Saber is a unique VR rhythm game where your goal is to slash the beats (represented by small cubes) as they are coming at you.

    Every beat indicates which saber you need to use and also the direction you need to match. All the music is composed to perfectly fit the handmade levels.    Beat Saber is a unique VR rhythm game where your goal is to slash the beats (represented by small cubes) as they are coming at you.

    Every beat indicates which saber you need to use and also the direction you need to match. All the music is composed to perfectly fit the handmade levels.

    Our goal is to make players almost dance while cutting the cubes and avoiding obstacles.

    Each cut is strongly supported by great sound and visual effects to emphasize the rhythm.    … Expand

    A stone cold VR classic and a game every PSVR 2 player should own. Even five years on from its original release, Beat Saber is worth every penny.

    Our clubbing days may be behind us but here we can get back to cutting shapes and feeling like total badasses, even if we look like we’re dancing like an utter idiot to everyone else. Much like any good night out, then. [Issue#29, p.90]

    Even with these setbacks, you still get a brutally exhausting, immensely fulfilling gameplay loop with masterfully charted songs. However, until those issues are fixed, what you have is merely an adequate port.

    My only issue is that everyone needs to buy additional songs to play as a group. I understand the royalties and what not, but it's still annoying.    … Expand

    Thoroughly enjoyable game. Love jumping in and challenging myself at every chance. Some minor tracking issues seem to be present occasionallyThoroughly enjoyable game. Love jumping in and challenging myself at every chance. Some minor tracking issues seem to be present occasionally and the rumble feature needs to be fixed asap for feedback on cuts, but over all it’s easy to spend hour on this. The biggest set back for me is the limited number of songs. While I am into all kinds of music the majority of the catalogue is pretty homogenous similar sounding electronic beats with 3 or 4 good artists or mixtapes as DLC. They get old pretty quickly. A regular stream of new artists is definitely a must.… Expand
