Spin Rhythm XD (PSVR 2) Review
In the past few months, nearly every single gaming VR advertisement I have seen has referenced Beat Saber in some capacity. Nothing against the Beat Games (or is it the Oculus Development Team?), but there has to be more rhythm game goodness in the VR space. There has to be. A quick Google search may yield the likes of Synth Riders, Pistol Whip, and Audio Trip, but…it’s so hard to deny the star po...[Read More]
ROBOBEAT (PC) Review
Several weeks ago, I had the pleasure of previewing ROBOBEAT, which was in Early Access at the time. Despite being in Early Access, ROBOBEAT felt nearly complete barring some information-presentation issues that I hoped would be corrected for the final release. The few hours I spent in-game were full of high-octane shooting to the beat of the song that was currently playing. Of course, there were ...[Read More]
Invector: Rhythm Galaxy (PC)
Back in 2019, Hello There Games released AVICII Invector, a rhythm-action title featuring over 20-tracks from the late AVICII. At the time, many (including me) were devastated by the loss of one of EDM’s best producers, and AVICII Invector commemorated some of his most memorable tracks along with futuristic graphics and tight gameplay. At the time, I enjoyed the heck out of it because of how well ...[Read More]
Ragnarock Review (PSVR 2)
Recently, we have acquired a PSVR 2 (review forthcoming) and in doing so have unleashed a plethora of requests for games to try out. The first game that we downloaded for the newbie hardware was Ragnarock from WanadevStudio. While the structure of this game screams every tap game out on the market, including Beat Saber, it has enough variety and pointedness to show us it’s a bit different in some ...[Read More]
Rhythm Sprout (PS5)
It feels like more and more rhythm games have become relegated to in-person arcade spaces rather than available for wider consumption. Of course, it doesn’t help that many of these games require extra (and costly) peripherals, be it a guitar controller, a turntable, to even an entire VR setup, in order to play. But my point still stands: I miss having accessible, affordable, and fun rhythm t...[Read More]
Hatsune Miku Project DIVA Mega Mix+ Review
Hatsune Miku Project DIVA Mega Mix+ is a J-pop rhythm game, folks. It’s button-pushing at its finest and harkens back to the days of Parappa the Rappa, a PlayStation classic, where pushing the right button at the right time means you have gone with the beat of whatever song is being sung. With over 150+ songs to choose from in Hatsune Miku Project DIVA Mega Mix+, that is a lot of button-pushing in...[Read More]
Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Future Tone
Hatsune Miku was created to shatter the cynical will of the world’s hardest curmudgeon. Her latest videogame interpretation, Project DIVA Future Tone, is a curated assemblage of songs and content spanning entries in arcades, on the 3DS, and across PlayStation platforms. Absent are the lifestyle options that highlighted Project Mirai and the drive for adaptation that powered successive Projec...[Read More]
