Found this title before early access was available; and since it’s times during playtesting it’s honestly made me smile like a little kid again.
Keep in mind - Halfbrick intends on mostly doing a open-world / level-based approach here. Classic modes like arcade & zen are not present here, but they are in the first Fruit ninja VR title.
The game is currently in early access as of this writing, and already it has plenty of fun content to poke around with! In addition to bow & sword gameplay, there are many small details the developers have been cooking up, like relaxing landscapes, beautiful ambiance design, and little minigames to discover across the map. Generally, plenty of things to do in order to take breaks from all of the hack-and-slashing!

Story Prologue
The atrocities committed in Turing City, Titan, created shock waves across the Nexus.
Theta Corporations home system had been infiltrated by Earth Purists, determined to purge the solar system from the ‘abomination’ of the Nexus Mind, The single most Intelligent Sentient AI mind born of the Singularity.
This event became a catalyst for the 1st Interplanetary war that ravaged through the Solar System.
For 30 years. Millions of souls perished into the cold vacuum of space.
It was to become forever known as ‘The Singularity War’
The Nexus Mind offered a gift in exchange for peace. Space time distortion technology for ALL humankind..
It allowed each faction to look beyond the confines of the Solar System for the first time.
Stability returned to Sol but inter faction differences remained and the scars of war cut deep..
The Singularity Trials was born from this pain.
Each Faction offered up their most competent warriors and commanders to compete in an annual tournament designed to honour their fallen and test their readiness for battle.
For even though the Singularity War was over, the Universe is Infinite… And completely Unknown…

Beat Defender
My review may be biased due to my connection with the creator, however I feel confident saying that this game has the potential to become a great and very popular rhythm game. The premise is simple, and the game is quite simple to start learning. Personally I think the learning curve for the first few levels is just about right, requiring a bit of time to learn the basics, and to polish until the final level. Overall I would recommend the game to people that are looking for a new and interesting rhythm game, and especially so if the game continues to be developed.

Gaem gaem GAEMING!
The game follows a silent protagonist with no known name or history who slashes threats who try and invade homeless camps in the city. Other than that, the game has no real story (though I imagine that a story might be implemented later on.)
The game’s hybrid of rhythm and hack n slash makes the experience unique and enjoyable. However, there are times where the game felt cheap as there was a stun that didn’t allow me to move to another part of the map.
As for the final boss, he is 100% supa sick. However some of his indicators could be more visible as it took me a sew tries to understand what I was supposed to do.

Synth Riders
This is the rhythm game you want if you want to dance!
Line your hands up with the incoming target balls - as opposed to my other favorite VR rhythm game, there’s no need to strike them, it’s all about just being there at that time. There an option to enable the strike mechanic instead, but it really doesn’t work that well here, especially above the first difficulty setting or 2. Also on difficulty: there are 5 difficulties to choose from. From super-easy-going Beginner to flail-like-you’re-convulsing-from-a-seizure Master, there is room for everyone here. There is even the Spin-360 Degree mode available for every song for when you don’t want to just face forwards. If you’re looking to get down with friends or strangers online, there is multiplayer waiting for you.

coming from expert mode on beatsaber, i actually found this game a challenge at first.. despite people claiming it was easier!
imo it wasnt (but synthriders is more fun imo)
i was soon playing expert after hard (with a little encouragement from friends)
and now around 20 hrs in have even managed to complete a few songs on “master” difficulty!
its got similar practice tools to beat saber, (speed up, slow down, section practice etc)
i personally think this game is better than beatsaber, despite me playing both frequently! sometimes in the same session.

Beat Saber
Takes a while until it clicks and you enter a trance and beat that song that has taunted you for weeks. You can do an easy song and swing super hard or a tough song and enter max focus. Counts as exercise.
Extremely easy to mod with one click song downloads so make sure you get the custom songs as they play way better. If you’re only doing the default songs you’re barely playing.

Kongfusion
I purchased this game as soon as it was available in Steam, I had it on my Wishlist because I enjoy playing rhythm games. You will see red and blue and you will think, wait a second, this is familiar.. but actually it feels different from the beginning. Who doesn’t like to punch, slice and hit Kung fu masters? flying to you, running, trowing things at you and you need to dodge these beams that move in circular ways. The game starts with a tutorial and you have 3 songs with different backgrounds. Easy, medium and difficult mode, you need to finish the easy one to move to the next ones. I want to keep an eye on this game and be engaged with the dev team in Discord because I see a lot of potential. I already played 2.5 hours and it will be in my workout rotation. I expect to see more songs and more difficult levels in the future and why not custom songs for us to map! i recommend this game because I believe it will get better and better with time.

Do you like rhythm games? Buy this!
Do you like Pistol Whip? Buy this!
Kongfusion is kind of like a melee Pistol Whip. The game has you on rails and you battle alien ninjas to the tune of some really good beats. You have three weapons: fist, staff and a sword and shield. It isI so satisfying to punch or slice the ninjas!!!!!!!! It WILL give you a workout! Buy it. Buy a copy for a friend. Just a fantastic experience!

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.

Sky Sanctuary
When to buy and when not to buy?
If you don’t like reading, check out our video of this review:
Sky Sanctuary is a beautiful archipelago where you can play all kinds of different Samurai mini games. As the game is in early access, there are only a few things to do at the moment.
-
Japanese wood cutting (Tameshigiri)
-
Bow and arrow skill training (Kyudo with 3 modes)
-
and there is a sandbox zone where you can use/try out several Samuari weapons like Shurikens and smoke screen balls.

When I first saw this game I couldn’t help thinking of similar sword slicing VR titles like Fruit Ninja or Katana X, and wondering what would make this game stand out from its competitors. But actually, Sky Sanctuary is probably the more padded out game of the three by presenting itself as a tongue-in-cheek samurai and ninja training game. So whereas chopping things with a katana is an element of all three games, that’s just one component of Sky Sanctuary’s full experience, also offering the ability to walk around the small floating island, shoot a bow, and mess with ninja type goodies like smoke bombs, shurikens and fire staffs. Both the sword and bow experiences are essentially ranked mini-games, with the option to also just mess around the island with them.
