HEPTAGON is very near to being the perfect fanmade sequel to Super Hexagon. Not only does it bring the heat like never before, it also brings in totally new mechanics in every level, including changes in perspective, and red patterns that temporarily reverse your controls. In addition, each level has it own sets of difficulty (hard, harder, and hardest) that keeps the game a challenge as you refine your rotation skills further and further.

Roundabout 3
Very disappointed at this time. Currently there is NO infinity mode for ANY of the levels in the game. In R2 I could get lost in any level for half an hour or more, but now I feel sluggish. I know I only mastered (and near mastered) a few levels in this iteration, but soon I’ll have to put down the game because trying to high-score in this time trial mode is not my style. All I need is a button in practice mode to let me have it my way, but you decided to not implement it. Am I supposed to go back an iteration to NGs to have it my way?

Thumper
Disclaimer: This review is considerably lengthy. The abridged version is: buy it. I have been obsessed with this game for the past few days and that train, much like the space beetle you play as, is not stopping anytime soon. If you’re interested in reading about how I believe Thumper applies play conditioning, minimalism and cosmic horror to create a brilliant game filled with gorgeous graphics, an intense score and absurd replay value – go ahead!
This strange game is an incredibly satisfying trifecta of psychedelic art, rhythm-based play and horror tension. Seriously, somehow developers Drool have managed to make a game described as, a space beetle travelling through the void, a uniquely terrifying and intense experience. I want to focus the majority of my review on a concept I think Thumper executes brilliantly. It’s a term known as play conditioning, and it’s not mine – I first heard its use by film and games essayist Hbomberguy. He coined the term vis-à-vis Thumper; so, with this in mind, I believe it to be intellectually honest for me to present his argument given that I will proceed to apply, expand and comment on it.

I understand that hearing “rhythm violence” or “rhythm horror” might be a bit concerning or confusing, so I am going to try to explain it. It is incredibly difficult to know what this game means by those things without trying it.
This game has no gore, no jumpscares, no typical horror tropes, no dismemberment, etc. What Thumper does is give you a feeling of tension and sheer adrenaline. Everything builds up to different points and then releases that tension, thus giving you that feeling of “dread” and adrenaline.

Boom!VR
Never in my life did I think someone would create a VR game that simulates a psy-trance festival, but these devs did it.
Quite realistic and the music is excellent, if you like psy-trance. This game would be infinitely better if they can realise full multiplayer.

Holodance
I’ve tried a few of the popular VR rhythm games: Beat Saber, McOsu, Airtone, and Holodance
Music selection
Holodance and McOsu support osu! beatmaps, and Beat Saber has its own unofficial library of songs (requires a mod).
Only McOsu does not include any songs, and only Airtone does not support custom songs.
With Holodance, I usually used the ability to select a random song within a difficulty range.
Gameplay
With custom songs, Holodance provides three ways of hitting notes:

At 71 years old I’m quite certain most other players of this VR game are considerably younger than I am. I just started playing it yesterday. I’ve logged in 2.2 hours of play so far, gathered 10,200,000 points, and am enjoying it a lot. I exercise close to 3 hours a day, and this game will now add a bit more to that. Primarily arm exercise of course, but arms need exercise too.
This game is different in that you are not just hitting targets flying at you, you have to use your brain too. You need to quickly determine what type of target is coming and where you need to hit it, and then move your arm in the correct direction to capture that orb and get the points for it. Plus you have very little time to make these determinations.

Two Brain Sides
Difficult platform game, but finally I completed all the levels!
– Real player with 10.8 hrs in game
Oh man. I am SO glad I found this game. I was thinking, “Man. I’d really love a rhythm music game that was challenging.” Not that others are not, but I work as a musician so most of them are fun challenges for me but not necessarily challenging challenges.
THIS WAS EVERYTHING I WANTED! I’m a pianist so I love to two side difficulty. I love that it was use a mouse and keyboard instead of just keys “a/d” and arrows for two different movements difficulty. I thoroughly enjoyed the music. I loved that it wasn’t just move on beat, I actually had to do quite a bit of subdividing which is a great difficulty, but it wasn’t so hard that someone with little or no musical experience wouldn’t be able to find the rhythms. Well balanced.

Audio Trip
This game is the best feeling I’ve experienced on VR. It’s not just a very solid rhythm game, it’s the fact that nothing comes even close to the glorious and consistent feeling it gives you of ecstatic dancing.
Here are the main reasons I love it so much :
- It’s been for 3 months now a big part of a daily physical routine that makes me feel a lot better ( mood, sleep, lost weight, feeling more dynamic in general) I just do 5 songs in the morning, then work out for 10 minutes, then repeat the process in the late afternoon.

This is a VR rhythm game that gets everything right. I love rhythm games and I play every rhythm game I can get my hands on. When it comes to VR rhythm games and especially ones that claim to be dancing VR games Audio Trip is the best you can get even though no rhythm games currently track your feet. Audio Trip is the only VR Rhythm game I’ve played that I’d actually consider a dancing game and the reason is because the game is designed with every intention that the player wants to move their body.

Maybe you are familiar with games like Audiosurf or Melody’s Escape. This is one of the games of that game genre. Don’t expect much from it at the moment, but it sure looks promising. The fact there is only 1 person working on this entire game, is mindblowing to me.
You control an airship with mouse and hover over the notes, while pressing the coresponding key each time. I like the gameplay, and the colorful graphics. The in-game gameplay is jittery, but it’s no issue for me. The game might have problems with placing notes when there is a lot of going on in the song. I get that, many games of this genre have that issue, if not all (It is actually impossible to create the perfect music analyzer that would work with any type of music).
