April 2025

This game has something that Beat Saber doesn't and it nails it! EXPERIENCES. They are peak VR experience and everyone should experience them.

April 2025

A very good alternative to 'Beat Saber'. It has a very lovely flow and it actually feels more like some sort of dancing than slashing blocks.

March 2025

I originally bought it when it was half the price of Beat Saber, and so many things have been added to the game over the years which is awesome. I don't even want Beat Saber anymore beacause this game looks way better. You can download custom songs as well, which is great!

Jan. 2025

Given how common it is to compare this to Beat Saber, I have to admit that it's difficult to say which one I like more. At first I wasn't sold on Synth Riders. The majority of the songs that come with it unfortunately didn't do much for me, and I personally am not a huge fan of the Vaporwave/Synthwave visual aesthetic in general, but you can't talk about anything Beat Saber-related without taking custom songs into consideration. There's plenty of fun custom songs you can get and the modifiers keep the gameplay interesting (big fan of Force+Spin). The main part I really like is that, compared to Beat Saber, it feels more like you're dancing (or at least, the gameplay feels like it encourages you to dance along) It's really grown on me and I'm enjoying it. Pretty fun way to get some movement into your day.

Nov. 2024

My favourite VR game. I first started playing when I bought my meta quest 2 the year the headset came out and fell in love with the game. Now, years later, after getting my valve index I still play this game almost daily. It's an amazing game and has not one but two packs based around my favourite music genre! I love this game so much!
