Just Dance 2017
ºWhat to say to Just Dance 2017?,in short, is another bad game of Bugsoft.
-Control (phone) disconnects ALL TIME, there is not 40 seconds connected to the computer (sometimes).
-In addition to paying $ 49.99(R$ 99,99), you DO NOT HAVE ALL THE MUSIC RELEASED TO PLAY, some you buy with the Ubisoft currency, some you need to have Just Dance Unlimited.
-Just Dance 2017 looks Just Dance Now, ridiculous.
-I did not ask for a refund because I am hopeful that they will solve the problems of this game soon.

Pros :
-
One of few games in Steam that makes you do workout instead of sitting all day.
-
Many selections of songs (about 50 built-in + more than 200 from Just Dance Unlimited).
-
The respond and accuracy is very good (better than Just Dance Now).
-
You can pay for Just Dance Unlimited subscription either from Credit Card or Steam Wallet (I like the latter option, since I don’t have credit card). The subscription price is more or less same than Just Dance Now subscription price.
-
Many modes, so pretty high replayability (apart from that many songs selection).

Just Shapes & Beats
When I first played this game it was just to impress my big brother on a like $500 vacation but now iv’e gotten pretty addicted. The games really good amazing story line and a very hard set of songs. And now that iv’e played the lost chapter the story makes a lot more sense. The ending blew my mind not giving any spoilers but some people may know what I mean. Also Annihilation is insane. But when it comes to making a game using square as the main character I was not expecting this much work and progress put into this. If you haven’t played this game yet and are just reviewing it play it know you won’t be disappointed. Well that’s all I have to say can’t wait for the next update!

FUSER™
If you have played Dropmix, it is very much like that, but on steroids.
2/19/2021 Edit: This review has been redone to currently reflect the game post 1.3 patch update.
Personally, I love this game, the hours played represents that, and personally, I grew up with Harmonix and their music games so t heir marketing is nothing new to me. Each DLC song is 1.99/USD and is purchased separately, which while is a shame there are no packs available, it does allow you to pick and choose which songs you wish to use in the game. The initial set is enough to get you going and through several hours on their own. The mixing itself is very intuitive for a game and I daresay you can entertain a small party or gathering by playing this game. I’ve done twitch streams that were several hours long just jamming to the games Freestyle mode with a custom crate I assembled with different songs, instruments, and sound effects/modifiers. The game comes with 4 main modes, Campaign, Freestyle (and Coop Freestyle where people play together and if the lobby is big enough, a small audience that can make requests of songs or instruments or genres), Battle, and Social Events. The game comes with an integrated mix capture option where you can record up to 128 bars and export it as a video format to share on social media, YT, Twitch, etc.

Happy Oshare Time
This game is dangerously kawaii. It’s like I’m inside of a denpa album. If you like stuff like PriPara this might be for you. However there isn’t much to the game with only 12 songs and not a very strong rhythm game. Get it on sale.
– Real player with 3.2 hrs in game
It’s honestly a very cute game. It’s got a surprising variety of songs and customization. They added new outfits for Halloween, so I hope they keep updating it for different holidays!
Had some issues with crashes earlier on, but those seem to have cleared up. The hands are a bit wonky, but it’s not a big deal. And yes, there’s no teleportation so if you don’t have a big room, you can’t really get close to the mirror. But it doesn’t affect the experience much.
If this seems like your thing, then it’s probably worth your money. There’s nothing really hidden about Happy Oshare Time. The description sums it up well. I find it quite entertaining in short sessions and I know I’ll keep coming back to play more!

Project Arrhythmia
It’s a cool game.
But you’re not here for a simple review like that, are you? You want me to tell you WHY it’s a cool game. A detailed review, yes. So here’s that:
-There are countless levels out there to play, and SO MANY are worth your time. The workshop is constantly updated with new levels from the community to check out. There really is infinite content.
-Bullet hell/music dodging type gameplay takes a focus here. If you’re into that, you’re in for a treat.
-The game’s menu aesthetic fits the vibe it’s going for - the whole computer terminal look fits the (upcoming) story, and is executed really well.
– Real player with 2154.4 hrs in game
Since Project Arrhythmia is in early access, I’ll try to go easy on its work and design. After watching people PA levels on YouTube, I thought it would be nice if I could design some levels myself. Note that this review has been revise on 7/18/2020. I do not hate the game, but it has issue that I need to address.
-Menu-
When I install the game, the menu wasn’t presentable; there were 8 options (Story, Arcade, Editor, Config, Discord, Credits, News, and Exit) on the top left and a ton of blank space while music was played in the background. I’m not to sure if there was suppose to be a style theme to this game. I noticed anytime text appear, it comes out like a code. With a game that shows effects and colors, you wouldn’t expect the main menu to look dead. All that bank space, yet nothing to fill in.

Rocksmith® 2014 Edition - Remastered
Does exactly what it says on the tin, makes learning guitar more fun for beginners and assists with memorizing new songs or just getting the rust off at any experience level. I put hundreds of hours into this game and the original on xbox back in college, it’s gotten worlds better with all of the DLC though. There are more than 40k songs you can download from Customsforge too, the only drawback is you need a realtone cable if you don’t want to miss notes all the time.
10/10, really has no limits in terms of tunings, timing signatures, techniques/alterations like capos, etc. and tons of replay value in co-op and bonus lead/rhythm/bass arrangements. I’m still consistently surprised by the eclectic mod community uploads and even the published DLC, and once you learn how to transcribe tabs yourself it’s really limitless. Only thing that could make it more perfect would be an option to turn on master mode for specific songs/phrases so you don’t have to play a song 3-4 times to get the notes to disappear

Whether just picking up a guitar for the first time or coming from a musical background, this guitar-playing game is just pure fun with 1000+ songs to choose from in the extensive DLC selection.

ABC: Audioreactive Beat Circle
This is a great game, I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys rhythm and/or puzzle games. There are 5 levels in the main game (not DLC), and they are all a ton of fun. The best part about ABC is that you can play the game to your own music, creating infinite replayability, and the ability to essentially control the difficulty/speed. Definitely a must-play if you enjoy music and rhythm games.

very good, i love the fact that you can choose your own music

Beat Hazard
Before reading: this review is about Beat Hazard Ultra, meaning the basic game + dlc. While I still recommend Beat Hazard on its own, it is more simplistic and lacks online co-op that the Ultra version provides, so I strongly recommend this game to be played with DLC.
Beat Hazard Ultra is a fast paced space shoot’em up with bright colorful graphics. At first sight it does not look like much, however it has several features that have made it one of the most pleasant surprises in my library.
The graphics look amazing at first, they tend to tire out your eyes pretty easily however, so it is not recommended to play for long sessions. There is an option to scale them up (!) or down inside the game menu though.The battle is fluid despite the abundance of color, enemies and the genral chaos that takes place on your screen especially on the higher difficulties. I have even played this on a linux netbook -yes it plays on linux and mac as well- with minimal capabilities and I was honestly surprised at its smoothness. Gameplay is fluid as well, regardless if you are playing with a controller or a mouse and keyboard. In fact, I even find myself preferring the mouse and keyboard mostly because the mouse provides more precise aiming than thumbsticks. The difficulty curve is just right, meaning you can choose from 5 different difficulty settings (easy, normal, hardcore, insane, suicidal) and play in whatever mode you feel comfortable with. This makes the game equally enjoyable for both hardcore shmup players as well as people who are new to the genre, or not particularly skilled. There is also a nice “perk” system implemented, where you can buy upgrades, such as a few special attacks, more multipliers, etc.

I have played Audiosurf for a long time and I was not sure if Beat Hazard was a game that could stand out for me as a music-based game. I finally decided to give Beat Hazard a try after it was available for several years on the market. It feels like a game inspired by the classic game Asteroids, but with songs from your music library playing while you control your spaceship. So the basic premise of the game is you maneuvering a spaceship while avoiding asteroids and many enemy spaceships of varying types and sizes. There are many games of this genre in a crowded market, but Beat Hazard carves out its own identity with its challenging action and allows you to take on numerous enemies and other hazards as you enjoy the rhythm of the songs of your favorite artists and built-in songs.

The Metronomicon: Slay The Dance Floor
This game… this game is just a work of art. A diamond in the rough. I’m so sad this game isn’t known, the word needs to be out to all lovers of Rythm-based games. Because this is my absolute #1 favorite Rythm matching game in the whole wide world. The gameplay is exiting. The story halfway takes itself seriously, the voice acting is enthusiactic,, the soundtrack BOPS and the cutscenes are incredibly cheesy, but looking past the cringe it really adds some charm to the game and its characters. I sum this game up to my friends as “Darkest Dungeon and Guitar Hero mixed together but with neon lights and electronic music” Puuba took the concept of an RPG / Rythm matching game and nailed it on the head.
– Real player with 69.8 hrs in game
In short, if you enjoy rythm games and are looking for a unique spin on the genre, buy this game. You won’t be disappointed.
In many more words, Metronomicon is, as advertised, a mix of rythm and rpg, and boy has it been executed well. It’s honestly amazing.
First of all, despite this game being an indie title developed by a small studio that simply doesn’t have the money to license big, well known songs, the song’s library of 50+ songs seriously won’t disappoint you. Just like the game, the songs in it are hidden gems in themselves. All of them are absolute bops and perfectly set the mood.
