Nice revival of Space Channel 5 clearly made with love. The gameplay and style works well with VR (though I do wish I played it with controllers that had better tracking). Everything from the music to the voice acting to the cutscenes and new characters has the soul of the original game. There's even an official collaboration where you get to dance with hatsune miku which is cute even though I don't really like vocaloid. Also getting to high-five the characters in the credits was fun. I also really liked how each character and background NPC has a unique bio with quirky details. The only problem with the game is that it's way too short. Much like Yuru Camp VR, though at least this has the 100 round dance battle mode after you finish the sub-1-hour story. Still disappointing though because I would've liked to see more of the new characters and cutscenes.
