This game is basically guitar hero with light sabers. It's in Early Access, and in my opinion lacking songs, but user-made songs are on the roadmap and what little that's there is great fun to play.

Looks fun! Though I might wait for user-made songs as I imagine it'll get old really fast if there aren't many songs.

I just tried it and I can't understand all the buzz around this game : there's already Audioshield, almost the same thing and you can use ANY music, not just ten... 😕

Personally, I hate those sort of rhythm games. Crafted songs are much better than auto generated songs in my opinion. I also think cutting the boxes with a lightsaber is much more satisfying than punching notes or blocking balls. 

The main reason I'm excited for this game is the potential. Since they seem to be going the OSU direction of letting users create custom tracks, it has a lot more appeal to me than the other rhythm games for VR at the moment.

Very nice, having a lot of fun with this.

Audioshield got old real fast. Not sure about this one.

The gameplay of Beat Saber seems to suit certain type of music (those dominated by drums, for example), but not all. So it is important to have a good selection built in the game.

Looks like it could be a fun party favorite. I'll have to buy this once I'm done with my GO obsession.

Trying out the one saber and no arrow mode is also pretty interesting. It doesn't completely change the layout of the notes but enough to feel different.

They're apparently adding more songs sooner rather than later too, so that's a good thing, but hopefully the custom creator will come before the buzz dies. This is the first rhythm game I've played on vr that felt like it had as much potential as guitar hero, for me at least.
