ok, this is unironically an actual really fun and engaging vr rhythm game! if youve played beat saber but ever wanted there to be 0 arrows and more anime girls this has got you covered

the gameplay basically consists in hitting blocks at the beat of a song, with various types of blocks like sliders and such, simple but still pretty fun and challenging in a good way! the weirdest gameplay mechanic tho is how as your combo gets higher and higher, kizuna on her stage gets closer and closer to you, im not kidding, the objective of the game is basically making an anime girl get closer to you, and when you miss she goes far away from you, ignoring the weirdness of that this can actually hinder you as the model of kizuna ai can get in front of the blocks making you unable to predict where to hit next, luckly theres an option to disable this and you should definetly turn it on

while everything ive said is good and all, the part of the game that leaves a disgusting taste in my mouth is the absolute lack of content and baffling monetization scheme, this game is free but believe me the free version shouldnt even be released, you get only TWO SONGS IF YOU DONT PAY, only two, and thats not including the TUTORIAL, thats all the playable content this has to offer, the rest of the song library is locked behind a pay wall which is baffling to me, why even make it free if you have to pay for all the content? this is essentially a demo disguised as a f2p game, other than the 2 songs the only other things the free version has to offer is a mode where you can watch kizuna dance to a song mmd style... and thats it, its just a 3d model dancing, and literal youtube vr 360 type music videos, thats all the other content you have, and i didnt even mention that THESE MODES ALSO ONLY HAVE 2 SONGS/VIDEOS EACH AND YOU AGAIN HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REST OF THEM, what the fuck, worst part is the free songs arent even distinct, i swear both of them sound the exact same with only 3 difficulties to choose, theres no variety at all

but still even after all of that i can imagine you thinking "ok thats fine, this game is cool so ill just pay for everything" but thats a horrible decision my friend, cause if you pay a whopping 34 dollars, what do you get?... 13 songs... THIRTEEN SONGS IM NOT JOKING, that is an embarrasing amount of content for a rhythm game, compare this to beat saber, an amazing rhythm game which cost 30 dollars and currently has 45 free songs, loads of paid content packs with well known artists, a wide range of difficulties, distinct song library varied in genres and sound, and this is all not even mentioning custom modded songs, so yeah if youre gonna pay might as well just buy beat saber, unless the 3D anime model is very important to you, even if this game gets more updates to add new content i will just never get over the fact they thought this game had enough content to release and charge 34 dollars for.
