The verdict
A stylish, intense John Wick-style rail shooter with a great leg-day workout, but the rhythm is loose and content is thin. Skip it if you want a strict rhythm game or dislike EDM.
Great for
VR players wanting a fun full-body workout and a Beat Saber alternative with EDM and action-hero fantasy
Main risk
It plays more like a rail shooter than a rhythm game, with limited content and music you may not like
