Dec. 2024
Basic game is decent - hasn't really had any major updates so it is mainly on community songs for extra replayability. One major annoyance is that, when playing through OculusLink/SteamVR, it never shuts down cleanly and always requires a full reboot of the headset/computer to play any other games. If you don't, all other VR games you try after it will lag. Only game that I've seen which does this. Freaking annoying.

Imagine John Wick going through a night club and shooting people in time with the music, forever, and you're John Wick, and sometimes you're in places other than nightclubs. This is without a doubt the most fun I've had in VR. I'm playing in PSVR2, Windows 10, 5800X3D CPU and 4070 GPU. The game looks and performs great.

Rhythm and guns combine into one of the most enjoyable VR experiences since Beat Saber; and it stands out as its own game without relying too much on gimmicky rhythm game tactics. Music is S tier, and while the game has [so far, in my short time playing] shown easy to learn the basics, it's looking like a game I'll be returning to time and again in order to master its mechanics, timing, and nuance. Definitely worth full price; but if you see it on sale, absolutely do not pass this opportunity up.

For a long time i kept looking at this game and thinking about buying it - but never did. But a few days ago i decided to take a deeper look into what the game was really about and how it play with watching some youtube videos - and there i realized i need this game! So today i finaly bought it and gave it a shot - litteraly :-) Its fun, has a good amount of Song (20 and i think there are custom version or maybe even new songs in the campaign) and weapon variety (not only ordinary guns but also 2 different sound-guns with different soundsets to choose - really cool!). The there are alot of modifiers to completely change up the gameplay and so on. Its not an easy game though and you need to move up and down and sideways alot - so make sure you got enough space! Positive: - 20 Songs + 10+ Campaign songs + 9 Collection-Songs + Custom Songs made with the Modding Tool! - Good variety of weapons - Decent customization options for your guns (Pro Tipp: Click on a color again to switch it) - Many interesting modifiers to completely change up gameplay - replay value! - Good selection of songs! - Good performance - Easy can already be difficult in the beginning - Challenging game -dont be shy using easier modifiers! - Good workout for lower body! Negative: - No real graphic settings! (Only 2 checkboxes for shadows etc.) - OVR Runtime keeps running after exiting the game - manualy need to exit steam vr (easy with Virtual Desktop) - Can be a bit too difficult for VR-Beginners - even on Easy! The game is an absolute recommendation if you like a wide variety of music styles, rhythm games and dont mind some movement! ------------------ Reworked the Review a bit and just have to say - guys hands down one of the best VR games if you are into rhythm games!!! Sooo much fun! Modiers also allow much more variety than i first thoughts ... you even got one to dual wierd color matching (aka both guns have different colors that u have to match to the targets). I just cant stop playing it! Specialy enjoying it with easier modifiers - and there are different highscore toplists for every combination of modifiers and guns which puts in a bit more motivation :-) Buy this game and maybe create your own songs to share - i will definately try to make some songs in the future^^.

This is the second game I'd recommend any VR owner picks up, only after SUPERHOT VR. This game is fun, innovative, smooth, and yet challenging at the higher levels / modifiers. The music is catchy, and a decent amount of movement is required for dodging enemy projectiles. Certainly worth full price.
