The verdict
A brilliant VR rhythm game and workout, but vanilla content is thin and DLC is pricey, so mods are practically required. Skip it if you dislike modding or tinkering.
Great for
VR owners who want a fun rhythm workout and don't mind installing mods for custom songs
Main risk
Expensive per-song DLC and updates that break mods, plus launch and streaming issues
What changed in the last 30 days
86 recent reviews
Recent negative reviews cite stutter when streaming PCVR to Steam Frame, DLC prices, and updates breaking mods. Fairly confident but based on a few reviews.
