Just Dance is always a fun formula to me, and it's hard not to have fun with any of these games. This game in particular brings impressive visual improvements over recent games however, continued from 2022 edition. The switch to a new engine is ultimately what defines this game though, much more than the maps themselves. Said new engine has issues to work through, like consistent freezing in-game and crashes, as well as lacking some established features from previous titles (sweat mode, custom playlists, world dance floor, etc.). Those issues are ultimately what knocks a star off of the best Just Dance game track-wise in my opinion. I feel like it's only uphill from here with this series, and I'm excited to see what 2024 edition has in store.

This is the 2nd worst Just Dance game I've played but it's good enough to guarantee it a score of 3 stars at least. That's because of the song list that it has to offer. But using a phone as a controller is really an issue due to the potential possibility of breaking your phone. That didn't happen but the chances were favorable. The graphics are great as always but the controls are the main reason for giving this game a 3 instead of a higher score. If you want to try this game out at least once, get it on PS5 or Xbox instead of Switch albeit the Xbox Series version also uses a phone. I recommend you buy it on Xbox or PS5, but just watch footage of the game on Switch. 3/5.

I gotta be super specific about this.

The Just Dance live service client that 2023 Edition exists on and the JD+ service is currently lacklustre at the moment with an inferior user interface and missing over 600 songs from the Unlimited servers the previous games had access to.

The scoring's gotten worse too, but eh, I felt like that started happening in 2021.

2023 Edition in of itself however, as in the "on disc" songs we've been given this year are phenominal and are absolute peak Just Dance with a wonderful selection of songs, gorgeous MVs that use the new "3D worlds" recording technique and the Danceverses playlist that introduces a light story mode incorporating a few of the songs this entry brings.

So long as you're buying it purely for the 2023e on-disc songs, it's the best in the series, but anything else will disappoint.

This was surprisingly an acceptable game in the series. Just Dance isn't the type of game to win awards or anything but from what I've played, this is the most fun I've had in a Just Dance title in recent history. Setlist is pretty solid, dance choreography are some of the most creative I've seen, and the background video that accompanies each music track is robust and animated exceptionally well. If I had to pick a downside, the live service is not needed whatsoever. If they plan on doing so, they need more to convince me to subscribe to the service than just old songs I can easily play on previous Just Dance games. But overall in terms of graphics, setlist and gameplay, this seems to be the step in the right direction.

It's a really great game, might just be the new best Just Dance game yet! This has an amazing tracklist with a ton of great songs and super high quality maps with beutiful bacgkrounds and some with awesome animated coaches. It is missing some features tho like custom playlists and the world dance floor which sucks and I really don't care for using the online ever. Also there's Just Dance+ now instead of unlimited so less songs but they do keep adding songs back and the original new songs on it are great so its worth it. The downside to this tho is the missing features and it can also be quite buggy at times which is unfortunate.

É difícil dizer quais as novidades o novo Just Dance apresenta além do que é sempre proposto: Dançar. Eu sei que parece chato, mas o Just Dance 2023 é uma coletânea de pequenas decepções que a Ubisoft sempre traz em seus jogos.

Começando pelas coisas boas que essa mais nova pérola trouxe, estão nos visuais do jogo. Realmente estão lindos, alguns personagens são fantásticos (uma menção honrosa a Louise Dialls, coach de "Telephone"), sem falar dos cenários que agora contam com profundidades em 3D, sendo uma imersão à mais do game. Porém, no entanto, são coisas muito passageiras, são sentimentos que o jogo infelizmente não consegue manter por muito tempo. O motivo? simplesmente estão ali, como em qualquer jogo dessa franquia. O que eu espereva ver nesse, já que ele conta com um "modo história" (por sinal, muito chata), pensei que eles trariam uma lore para os personagens, dando mais chances de você se identificar com eles, assim, perpetuaria mais aquele sentimento que você sente quando joga pela primeira vez. Enfim, é uma coisa a se pensar, não é?

Além disso, claro, o Just Dance 2023 agora é um jogo de serviço online, que futuramente receberá muitas novidades (eu espero). O problema disso é que você é obrigado a sempre estar conectado à internet, e o carro-chefe desse jogo é o NINTENDO SWITCH, que geralmente você leva para diversos lugares onde provavelmente não terá internet à seu favor sempre. Para mim, isso foi a pior decisão que eles tomaram, poderiam ter mantido o jogo offline, atualizando apenas seu Just Dance+.

Outra decisão horrível que eles tiveram foi de não colocarem o Just Dance Unlimited nesse jogo. Assim, eles literalmente desistiram de mais de 600 músicas para colocar um novo serviço (mais caro, por sinal) com pouco mais de 100 músicas.

Não, sério, muito chateado com isso.

It's a bit sad how this is the last Just Dance game because Ubisoft is turning this into a live service thing and dance games really were a thing of the Kinect-Wii-PS Move era, but at the same time this is probably the sloppiest and laziest the series has ever been.

It's weird because at the end of the day, this is just Just Dance, but the soundtrack is pretty ass (you really going to waste four licensed song slots on BTS and AVA MAX???? Driver's License? Locked out of Heaven? Radioactive? Rather Be? Stay? Heat Waves? big day for annoying Billboard Top 10 people), the routines seem like the difficulty spike just went through the roof with no care or thought for casual players (ik ik skill level git gud but i have been with this series since Just Dance 1 and the routines weren't THIS complex and exhausting even in 2022 ok), and Just Dance+ is a cheap ripoff of Just Dance Unlimited, literally Ubisoft telling you to fuck off after buying this game and give them more money.

It's really sad that this is how the series ends.
