Beat Saber

great game, playing it is basically a workout

Very fun game, but I highly recommend using mods for custom songs because the standard song library gets repetitive... 10/10 game when it comes to gameplay and mechanics though.

If you want to break your stuff this game is recommended.

10/10
-accidentally throwing my controller at mach 5
-breaking my cables and then i couldn’t play the game so i need to buy a new one
-hitting my brother in the head
-mod the game and download thousands of song

It's decent. not tho really my thing tho but it's fun.
Recommend if you like dancing and being hyper!

Very nice game indeed. Very tight and well synchronized. Probably the best VR rhythm game around. I just wish more free music packs would be released from time to time. I'm not going to spend money on music I don't even like.

pretty peak, just takes a while to get used to the unique controls and the way some maps are charted

As a big Star Wars fan and a dancer, dancing around to my favourite songs while whacking blocks with lightsabers is definitely my new jam.

I'm recently new to VR and I'll be honest, this game is the one I was most looking forward to. It absolutely does NOT disappoint! It's extremely immersive and super fun to play.. PLUS a killer workout if that's what you're looking for!

Very fun game and the campaign is quite challenging. After finishing it I went as far as Expert+ level. However, after I saw that there are even harder modes like the blocks coming from different directions (left and right), I stopped... got discouraged :D

I think Beat Saber alone makes VR worth it—just get BSManager for mods and custom songs and it's perfect

This game made me break my arm. But my screams of pain went along with lyrics of the song. I was beating to, SO i say 10 out 10 broken arms and smashed computers screens,

I like these rhythm games. This one is particularly great in many regards. The ability to find community created songs through mod loaders is what gives this game its longevity.

Played for the first time before for more than 3 hours straight. Was not able to feel my arms after.

I know it seems like I say this about every game but this is truly the most fun I've ever had playing a video game I have racked up 500+ hours over quest 2 and a different steam account and this one and am top 500 and rising on beatleader after switching back to rift s from quest 2 I instantly got better at the game and it is so fun

Is there a mod to replace boxes with younglings?

Good game with supporting of custom levels and music for VR
Good perfomance

you have to buy any good song and if you dont youre stuck with some techno bullshit

This is one of the best vr games I have played so far. Mechanically very simple to learn but takes a lot of work to master.

Without mods, this game is unplayable :( And for some reason, now it won't even start. Good job.

fun tbh. not much to it but its simmple to learn and i would recoment it to anyone.

One of the best rhythm games in general. and my personal favorite VR game. Very replayable with mods and super easy for anyone to pick up, even with limited play room.

Beat Saber is a popular rhythm-based VR game where players slice through blocks to the beat of energetic music using lightsabers. The game combines physical activity with rhythm, offering an engaging and fun experience. Here’s a quick breakdown:

Gameplay:
Objective: Slice the cubes that appear in time with the music. The cubes are color-coded and come in different directions, requiring quick reflexes.
Difficulty Levels: From easy to expert, players can choose their challenge level. The higher the difficulty, the faster the cubes come at you, requiring more precision and faster reaction times.
Music: The game features a wide selection of music, from original tracks to user-generated content. Players can also purchase additional music packs with popular songs.
Modes: Includes single-player and multiplayer modes, and you can also compete on leaderboards to compare your scores with others worldwide.
VR Experience:
Beat Saber is available on multiple VR platforms like the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and PlayStation VR, providing an immersive experience with precise motion tracking.
The game is praised for its ability to provide a good workout, especially when playing on higher difficulty levels, all while being fun and addictive. Whether you want to improve your rhythm skills or just have a good time, Beat Saber is widely considered one of the best VR games available.

somehow made my gain muscles.

reminder to use mods if you want to play this game, else majority of the songs is kinda avg at best. With mods though you get crap ton of songs to play (and for free!).

I don't have many hours on PC, I came from playing on Playstation and Quest.

Beat saber is one of the best VR games I have ever played, I really recommend buying it if you have the intention to mod it as DLC gets quite pricey and doesn't really hold a flame to the capability of the modding community.

Arguably one of the best Rhythm games that happens to be VR that gets more and more frustrating and annoying to play as you delve into it.
The core game play is solid and enjoyable, not much can go wrong with cutting blocks in half with laser swords to a good rhythm. This however leads to the first of my many issues with the game.
Of the core songs, which there are seven volumes and an "extra" pack with remixes on some songs in said volumes, I would say maybe.... half at best are actually enjoyable to play. The designs of the beat tracks in a lot of the songs seem to not have been designed in a way that answers "what is an enjoyable rhythm and flow that the player can get into?" but instead "how can we make this song 'unique' by adding obtuse and annoying flows and physically awkward ways the player has to contort themselves?"
Next major issue is the complete lack of internal consistency in the difficulty selection for each song, an expert level on one can easily be the same level as a normal or even easy song just one song lower in the list. This leads to picking songs to play that you aren't completely familiar with a pain as you have to try and figure out how difficult a song is not by it's listed difficulty but by the other stats that you are shown e.g blocks per second etc. This combined with the previously mentioned issue in returns to beatmap design being a crapshoot on first try can lead to you being completely ambushed by a songs difficulty and failing within the first 30 seconds on something you'd reasonably expect to complete based on the difficulty you selected: this is not fun for hopefully obvious reasons.
Final major issue is the DLC song situation and how pushed updates break all mods for this game every time a DLC is published. My major issue with the DLCs is two fold, firstly is that there is no way to try out a song first to see if it's actually enjoyable. This is a big deal as Beat Saber by this point has shown that it's a coin flip at best whether a song, from a rhythm game perspective, will even be fun to play. Second issue with DLCs is that the updates they come with, that you can't avoid installing if you want to play the game, will break all mods you are using and potentially relying on to make the game more usable or adding more content.

Final words/TLDR: Beat Saber is an excellent rythm game with no real competitors in the VR space but it's many issues outside the core game of slicing stuff with laser swords and the poor and unfun design of nearly half or more of the core songs you have in the base game means I can't give this a recommend at this time.

5+ Hours Played Review -

Ill start this off by saying I personally played this on the Quest 2 which worked great for what I wanted out of beat saber, however there is definitely more available with more equipment. Beat Sabers's standard catalog is fine, there is a good selection however the community created modded tracks definitely help Beat saber shine. The game is pretty fluid and honestly ends up being a great exercise to get you moving, whilst also being an enjoyable time. Id definitely recommend this for anyone with a want for more VR games in their catalog.

This game saved my life in so many ways... I have just had my appendix removed after playing this game noticing serve abdominal pain after achieving S rank on one of the songs.
Turns out I had asymptomatic appendicitis and without it would have ruptured without me knowing
My family thanks you Beat Games and I will always be grateful knowing that if I hadn't played and not been in so much pain I wouldn't have gone to the hospital early to get it checked out.

good game. directions> slice block music color arrow

Really satisfying if you enjoy rhythm games, though I personally stick to custom songs.

Modding is easy, but it would be even better if the developers didn’t keep breaking mods with every update just to add more DLC. Luckily, that has an easy solution.

Any game that also acts as exercise is a win win and Beat Saber is a very fun game. There’s few things like getting into a flow state while playing and having the notes all line up as you bob to the music. With the ability to download custom maps you’re not even limited to the lineup of artists that come with the DLCs.

Beat Saber is the quintessential VR game, everyone has heard of it, most people have tried it. If you have a VR headset and don't have it what are you doing? Not much else to say.

I grew up with this game, It's really good. I just REALLY wish they would interact with their modding community more. It's basically their entire player base and it would be really cool if they added official support or funding for tournaments

The definitive VR "must have" game. But custom maps are essential to keep it interesting.

Genuinely my favourite VR game but probably not worth it if you don't plan on modding unless there is a DLC pack that you really want to play as a rhythm game.

The base songs aren't terrible but not what I'd be wanting to spend dozens of hours playing/listing to. The single player campaign gets brutally difficult in ways that I find pointless. For example the current one i'm stuck on is to get no less than 32 combo but no more than 34 and honestly I'll never pass it because it's just not worth the effort.

There is a big modding community however that let you import hundreds of songs and that's where the fun is at.

If you use a Quest save yourself the trouble and buy this very cool game on the Meta store to avoid potentially significant performance issues...

I've tried about 30 different things to get rid of the infamous micro-stutters from Steam Link / SteamVR via WiFi. My WiFi can keep up and I know this from monitoring the real-time transfer rate. It's very obvious when stutters happen as the rate drops to nearly 0 for a split second then comes right back up and maintains a solid 280-300 mpbs; the router can go higher than that. My GPU is RTX 4070 SUPER. A ton of locations have reported this as an issue with SteamVR as of a more recent-ish update that remains unresolved.

I changed various settings within SteamVR and got the stutters significantly reduced but once you start playing on Expert and want to get SS grade performance, the blocks are going by fast enough that 1 stutter completely removes your ability to hit a block even if you're doing the correct hand motions, which is super frustrating.

Avoiding SteamVR is the way to go here unless you can run via cable, maybe then the stutters won't happen.

Beatsaber is 10/10, but not when delivered via Steam. There's also naturally no cross-buy (e.g. if I want to play it directly from the Quest headset I have to buy it again on the Meta store).

It can be a fun game but wish there was Christian music to pick from

It would seem like a good game, but for some reason after the update my controllers just stick to the floor. Do you even check your updates or do you just have to release all sorts of DLC for a ton of money?

In overhall, Beat Saber is a must have VR game.
New player in VR or experienced VR player, you will find your place since this game is really beginner friendly.
Various free maps to choose from, each having their own difficulty and theme, while DLCs does have a price and can be quite expensive,
the modding community is here to back you up.

Would recommend

Ever since I played this game for the first time back in 2019 I absolutely fell in love with it.

The game itself is extremely addicting and because of the fact that it's a rythm game it's pretty much endless. Even after almost 7 years post release Beat Saber still holds the title of one of the best VR games out there.

In terms of content there are new updates coming out every few months with a variety of fun music packs. It's recommended to mod the game as these make it much more enjoyable.

In case you have VR headset it's definitely the must. You don't have much built-in songs (for free at least), but mods. The other good thing - it has kinda low PC requirements, so you can try to run it at a potato of some sort

If you have been a fan of any other rhythm game in the past (I came from FlashFlashRevolution & StepMania), this is worth jump into. Great workout, great tracks, highly recommended!

Amazing game, was playing modded standalone for two years, then I got a decent pc and moved to steam vr modded. Would for sure recomend.

They keep making modding more difficult. Screw the devs.

An absolute must play for VR.

Great game. This is THE VR rhythm game. without a doubt. This is the only reason I bought a VR headset and This is the only game I ever come back to.

I just wish the mods didn't break EVERY SINGLE PATCH.

This game does get you really tired and sweaty if you're playing the higher difficulty maps though. so just a heads up!

loved this game! and well.. basic summary: works like a charm, pico 4 ultra as vr, got mods and enhanced gameplay.

its amazing sometimes the controllers disconnect but over all its good

Best (and only) rythm game I've ever played.. though the mod community in BS really carries this game - I mean it's still fun without mods but there's a lot less content to choose from. Still, been playing this for couple years (even if not that actively) and it's hella fun, especially when you get to the Expert+ levels :)

It's like Osu but better and no wrist pains :)
I like dancing so being able to physically move and engage with the song is way more fun.
Going for way longer than I should is super easy when you are jammin.

Besides other musics being expensive it's a good game but it is sometimes too hard and repulsive

very fun and modding is very easy with mod assistant
