DEEMO -Reborn-
DEEMO -Reborn- is a musical, beautiful & charming experience, in which it combines
rhythmic arcade-ish gameplay (hitting keys at the right time, in the same essence as OSU!mania/DJMax etc)
& solving clever and semi-demanding riddles/puzzles, so that you can unlock more songs to play, more areas to explore
& to progress the story further.
The Story is quite mystical & very emotional, with many but short cutscenes and a few dialogues that explains what’s going on. Voice over is only in Japanese (with english subtitles ofc)

I’m honestly so split with this port of the game. I feel like it’s a lot easier to play with keyboard, which is both good and bad. I’m glad it makes it more accessible to others, but now this is just like the NS port all over again. If you play on this version people are more likely to think you aren’t as skilled because now you can just hold SPACE and don’t have to wiggle joysticks.
Plus the fact that VK songs, Cytus 1 & 2, Egoist, AND Rayark 3 packs aren’t available is extremely disappointing. Because of the loss of almost 20 songs, the game feels a lot more empty and I’m just more tempted to boot my PS4 up to play Alone with you or Parousia.

Sayonara Wild Hearts
This game touched me in a way no other game did before. The gorgeous visuals and the best ost I ever heard, paired with a compelling and subtle narrative, and gameplay that is simple but engaging turns It into an experience that transcends the limitations of its own media.
The only downside this game has is that its visuals, despite being one of Its strongest points also limits its acessibility. My girlfriend is photosensitive and this game is not easy on her eyes, which is a shame, since I wish she could experience Sayonara wild hearts as well.

ArtPulse
A musical and artistic journey in VR. Switch on the Cinematic mode and fly around its as trippy as hell but so much fun. The electro beat is repetitive but also soothing. I fell in love with this game.
If you like creating electronic beats this is the game for you i really hope they add a record mode so you can save your masterpieces for later.
For the price you will have fun it’s EA so i hope that more shape and sounds are added but its a good start a game with potential.

This is not a bad VR painting program. It’s pretty chill & relaxing and it has some cool features. Unfortunately, it really does pale in comparison to Tilt Brush. It’s just not as robust. So even though ArtPulse is listed at a lower cost price point, the missing features just make it something not viable as an art tool. Therefore, you’re better off buying Tilt Brush instead.

Klang 2
Playing this game for 59 hours, I definitely can say I adore this game. Being the first person to review this game (probably), along with getting the first two PFC’s on 60hz on two of the hardest songs in the game on fast mode (in beta release), the gameplay is insanely addicting and the music is a real banger.
The gameplay is incredibly simple with only swipes, taps, and holds, but has a fairly deep and challenging execution, especially on keyboard and mouse. Fast mode accentuates this even more, with tight timings and fast-approaching notes.

[Won a beta key in a wishlist milestone giveaway, did some pre-launch testing.]
I have been waiting for this game to come out for five years, and did it meet my expectations?
holy fuck yes it did
Klang 1 held a very special place in my heart for mostly sentimental reasons, along with it feeling like a one of a kind experience. I have no idea how to properly express how that game makes me feel, but it was incredible. However, it lacks polish; a playthrough without encountering any bugs whatsoever is probably impossible.

SOUNDART
Take air tone and beat saber and bang them together. =]
jokes aside, holy cow this is everything any could want in a rythm game. in my opinion this is more fun than playing beat saber. Being able to play your own maps makes this game already a+, but the dev’s didn’t stop there….somehow it can take literally any song you own and generate a playable map, no labor required….just insane.
Edit 4.6.20 6:17 am - Also VRM avatars are importable, which is a plus as well. I recommend pulling avatars off “VRoid Hub” (google it). They offer really cool avatars for free, simlpe as 1 click! Then just Move the file into:

Soundart is another VR rhythm game where you hit blocks. The gimmick of this one is the use of the ‘petal’ interface- you’re more hitting petals in time of when the blocks cross them than hitting the blocks themselves. I assure you it makes sense in context. It gives you the ability to play to your own music, which has its advantages, but also its drawbacks- generated maps just aren’t as good as curated maps. It’s something people complain about endlessly when it comes to Beat Saber, but in general the maps there- both official and user made- are better.

For quite a while now, I’d missed that feeling of being fully convinced by a game. There was always something that left a bit of an unpleasant aftertaste, or there was nothing really wrong but I just didn’t quite feel it. Some of the games I loved at first, but got kind of tired of them towards the end. Might well be because I haven’t exactly had a good year.
But THIS game - there were a few things that bothered me a bit, I mean, even starting with the fact that I hate platformers. But all those things felt insignificant, because 95% of the time this game genuinely made me feel good and enjoy myself, and it left me glowing.

Particulate
I like it.. its something thats pretty cool to play with while listening to music.. do the tutorial and itll walk ya thru it.. pretty straight forward and easy to use.. more tools would be cool tho

Pretty meditative physics sandbox, especially with audio reactivity enabled. Had a very relaxed time effectively making my own Windows Media Player visualisations.
Do wish there were more variety in the basic tools (like different collision shapes) but for the price and the simplicity of using it you can hardly go wrong. Hope it does get expanded out to steamVR in the future sometime so more people can enjoy, especially with the oculus facebook requirement ramping up soon. Would hate for this to be lost in the future.

Becalm
It’s a great “game” to use as white noise when I take naps. Also good background and visuals for when I’m knitting. Oh, and makes a great screensaver too. If you’re looking to actually do something then look elsewhere because the only thing you control in this “game” is your view from your boat. Use the mouse to look around 360 degrees, up and down all around. But your boat never arrives anywhere. See some mountains in the distance and think you’ll get there, sorry to tell you you’ll never arrive! It’s like this boat is stuck and the scenery is on a track that passes you by to make you think that you’re moving. On the plus side there are different places your boat can be. And the trees and stuff are wildly colored, even the sky is strange. Sometimes you’re floating towards a mountain with land on one side, then sometimes you’re in the arctic floating through icebergs (hope you brought something warm to wear!), or you’re surrounded by tall cattails and other water plants and they are very tall.

Okay my dude, so we(three) have been “playing” for about an hour now. We LOVE this game! However, we are a few “game developers” and have some design “suggestion(s)”.
Firstly, you know those worm like particle effects that are uniquely shaped and colored to each realm(island realm had rounded and brown, iceberg realm had pointy and white, and grass realm had wispy and white)? Okay, good! So, on the iceberg realm we feel that the wispy nature of the grass realms “worm(s)” would fit much more nicely.

Rhythmic Retro Racer
This game made me feel like in the 80’s. It is very nice that the movements of the cars are compatible with the rhythm of music so that I can be caught up myself in the rhythm of the music and feel the music.
The game soundtracks are very good, I think it was created specifically for the game. It is open to development, the menu style is nice, I think the brightness could ought a little less.
The pleasure I got was worth the price for I paid absolutely. I am ready to pay 7$ just for the soundtracks in the game!

Bought this game to play casually while in COVID-19 lockdown. Not at all disappointed.
If you are a fan of 80’s retro/outrun aesthetic, this game delivers.
Pros:
-Original Outrun/Synthwave style soundtrack
-Lighting and reflections are awesome
-Satisfying to play
-3 difficulties and a practice mode for each level
-Developers are accessible though Discord
-Realistic goals for Early Access
Cons:
-Menus (Early Access)
