Can probably shelve this one- I’ve been dabbling with the campaign off and on for almost a year now. When I went to look up some tips on a late level I got stuck on, it appeared that the general consensus in the Beat Saber community is that the campaign is a waste of time. Say no more! I’ll put this on the shelf and pick it back up at my leisure for new artist release packs, never to worry about finishing the campaign again.

Anyway this is a lot of fun, a really well done rhythm game that seems like a must-buy for anyone with a VR system. You wave sticks in the air to slice through blocks in the style of Guitar Hero and Rock Band. The game is pretty self explanatory but one thing I will highlight is how good it “feels”- the tactile feedback you get from even just holding your virtual sticks together makes it feel like they’re real, and it goes a long way towards my enjoyment of the VR aspect. Good stuff! My only displeasure is the aforementioned campaign, which adds needless extra rules (like, wave your hands 500 meters or purposefully miss a minimum number of notes without failing) that make the levels less fun and more frustrating.

Played this just the one time at Mike's bachelor party and really enjoyed it once things clicked. Completely with you on the tactile elements of the game. This is the future, and we're lucky to be living in it!
