I spent the next hour playing just random songs on Soundcloud. I love that this game has several difficulties options so you can just enjoy your music or challenge yourself, it even has a "jam" option, where you can just play a normal drum machine to the music.You can also play your own music. Out of all the rhythm VR games, this is my new favorite. It just lets you enjoy your music. I hope that this game adds more options for stage visuals (there seems to only be one) and customizations for the sticks and scoring visuals (there's only a few). It would really be cool if you could record yourself too, especially with the jam option. I also don't think they have updated the multiplayer songs in a while.Rate 9\/10 (just needs some fixes and it would be 10\/10). I'm really enjoying this game. The fact that I can load up any song and it just makes the steps for it automatically is actually insane. I've always wanted that feature for like DDR or Guitar Hero. And this started it.You can play it sitting or standing or however you want since you can move the drums up and down.I just need to get all the songs I love and play them on here now.. My first impressions are bad, to be honest.Tried a few of the built-in tracks in easy and medium-ish modes and it did not feel particularly well synched. I will probably give this another session at some point and try even harder difficulties in case the synch improves as with audioshield.There are options, but no options (that I could find) relating to the haptic feedback strength or any way to just turn it off. It feels ridiculous, I'm not sure if they just maxed it out, but it's far too strong when all that's needed is a light bit of feedback for when you make a hit.. The synchronisation in this game is better than Audioshield but worse than Beat Boxer. There were times when I felt like I was playing the drums to the music and it felt awesome... but at other times I just felt like I was playing a game of whackamole sort of to the music and times where I wondered if turning the music off might actually help my score as I would no longer be trying to time my hits to the beat.I think the biggest problem here is that it is a game that is specifically trying to be a drum kit, but it's algorithm can't even tell the difference between a drum hit and vocals or any other instrument. There were times when I was wondering exactly what the game thought I was supposed to be whacking when there were no drums playing at all... Dianne van Giersbergen's vocal chords perhaps? The other rhythm games don't have this issue since they aren't trying to be a specific instrument, so it doesn't matter what they synchronise to so long as it follows the song.A suggestion on the forums recommends using USB audio for lower latency, but I noticed no significant difference between USB and HDMI audio - when the hits were out it was because the algorithm either missed a beat, or picked something that was not percussion to synchronise to.If this is supposed to be a drum kit, why are there no cymbals, hi-hats, etc? There are just 10 circles that light up at random with no relationship to the percussion being played, and their placement only vaguely resembles a drum kit. The game does allow you to change the size and spacing between the circles (and they definitely need to be made a little larger than the default), but I can't help but think it would play better if I was sitting in front of an actual virtual drum kit and even better if I could adjust the placement of each instrument independently.The game frustratingly ignores Steam's designation of which controller is in the left and right hands and offers no way to change the dominant hand. Thing is - I'm right handed along with most of the population, but it kept putting the pointer in my left hand, which was the opposite to what the tutorial was telling me, and the only way I could find to fix it was to take the wrist straps off and swap the controllers around in my hands. Other than that the UI works well and is quite polished - I had no problems navigating the filesystem to find my music, and it had no problem playing my collection of .ogg files :)I hope this review does not come across as being overly negative - I still enjoyed the game and am likely to keep playing.. I generally like rhythm games but there is one issue that prevents this to be enjoyable: there is almost no correlation from the track being played and the drum hits sequence.There is a reason why the most successful games of the genre release the tracks with the game itself or in DLC packs. The hits must be manually tailored on the track, or the algorithm that generates them should be exceptionally good.I should be required to hit the drums when I hear drums in them music and vice-versa. In the current state, you might as well remove the music altogether.There are other minor issues that I could live with and could probably be fixed, like the occasional stutter or hitting the drums by mistake from below when moving the stick from a previous hit.Given the fairly high price tag, I cannot justify these flaws and I requested my first refund ever.. This is no Rock Band or Guitar Hero. The idea is good, the graphics OK, and the gameplay is ok, but I would say that in my opinion the biggest disappointment for me is that hitting the right or wrong note makes no sound. I find that ludicrous in a music game.I feel you should be able to load a drum kit sound or theme and when you hit the right note it plays that noise. A choice to play a "mistake" sound if you miss could be added but not important.I found on the three choices of my music that the drum beats and required hits were not really in synch and I would have achieved a much better score if I turned the volume right down, which would ruin the gameplay though.This COULD have been the most awesome music game, setting standards and even beating Audio Shield perhaps, but in its current form (which is not early access unfortuntaley, so that's it I guess) I really think it is overpriced and deserves to have a better game come along and topple it from the chart.I will probably refund it, but will have another go before making the final decision. I think my feelings are just frustrated disappointment in that it was not all it could be. I loved Rock Band, especially the drums, and prefer that, though my VIVE is always up, but RB isnt.. A fun music game with great graphics and playability.. This was the first music driven game I have played in VR and I really hope it won't be the last. VR opens up so many more possibilities for immersion and music. There are music driven games out there that can really pull you in, and VR has the capability of taking that and pushing it to the next level.This game is okay. It's not the best, I wouldn't say it's next level material but I did get that hyped-up and happy feeling from playing a few of my favourite songs. Your surroundings are bright, colourful and it dances with your music. I found it fun to even stand and look around, let alone bust out some drum moves.I won't lie to you, I held back a bit seeing as I was banging imaginary drums like a moron to no music in the family dining area. If I would have been alone I think I would of gone in on this a lot more enthusiastically and gotten my rave on. With that said though I still found this to be a very enjoyable game.When I booted up the game I was a little concerned that I would have to download some music for it to go from or be forced to use some lame sample music that music driven games tend to provide. The fun in these games for me comes from being able to put my own music tastes into the game. I was pleasantly surprised to find that you can actually pick some music from the SoundCloud top 50 (so of course I had to get on that Despacito bandwagon).The only thing I thought might make this game better was if hitting the drum actually did something. I mean, it does something, it determines your score and all. I just thought that it would feel a lot better if when you hit it, it actually made a sound. If you loosely compare it to guitar hero, in guitar hero the music will play as long as you're playing it properly. Hitting the notes will continue to play the song and if you miss it you get that horrid noise that breaks the flow and makes you feel like the worst musician ever. Then when you actually hit the notes correctly you feel a lot more accomplished and it gets you more hyped up during the song. That was my only fault on it, besides that I enjoyed it and would recommend it for someone that might just want a chill jam on the virtual reality drums.TL;DR : Not the best music driven game ever, it might not take advantage of the new possibilities VR provides, but it's still an all around sound game to jam out on.For more reviews of this genre, check out my curator page The Best: Music Driven Games \u266b Controller support: Not included (VR only)Local music files: IncludedOnline streaming: Included, SoundCloud browsing. After v1.1.1 patch: Ok the game is really fun now. Difficulty 5 is now enjoyable. Flac support is now added withother audio format as well. Now I can enjoy my high quality weeb K-on songs. It is still generating random notes on quiet part or when the song is going to end.They fixed the lag when going back from play to music browsing especially with high favourite count. Unfortunately, they haven't fixed the damn sorting of music folders. They added a search feature but it is only searching on the current open folder and will only search for music (not folders). Still can't search songs really fast and I still need to put them on the favourite songs.I'm switching my review from Not recommended to recommended. But pleaeaaaaaaasseee, folder sorting or searching pleaseee. Or do like what audioshield is doing, open file explorer!!.Video comparison on Difficulty 5:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=X5ES_REzrq0--------------------------------Previous Patch review below so you can see how my opinion improved:Pretty decent note generation. It's far from perfect especially on the hardest difficulty. It's like the game is trying to add more notes just to say it's "harder". Anyways Difficulty 3 and 4 is pretty ok, with the exception when the song is near ending and is slowing down. The game is giving you notes that doesn't really properly map on the song. Despite that, game is still pretty fun to play on Diff 3 and 4, maybe you need a slower paced song in diff 5 to make it better.If you want a song that has decent note generation, it looks like pop and slower genres are preferable. Noisy song like rock and most vocaloid songs are a no-no. Bad note generation on thoseThere are also some issues that makes this game more annoying for me:1) Music browser for folders is not sorted properly (not alphabetized). I have 1.6k song folders in my library and I can't \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665ing browse the music I want easily.2) Extreme lag when going back from playing the song to music browser. I need to close my eyes a few sec just to prevent getting sickBecause this game is not in early access, I have to put a not recommended right now due to those annoying things that I listed that breaks with the enjoyment of the game. There's also only .mp3 support, so your high quality flac, aac, alac music wont be playedI refunded for now until the devs polished this. Wait for it to be improved\/patch before getting this.
