Beat Saber

i bought if for using a vr headset once and forgot to refund it

This game is revolutionary in how it combines block slicing and rhythm. I love this game and it is my go to game for clearing my mind. I have modded this game with BsManager and it made it so much better. I would recommend this if you are trying to get into cool rhythm game.

The Gold Standard of VR Rhythm Games

Beat Saber is hands down one of the most fun, satisfying, and replayable games in VR. The combination of precise rhythm-based gameplay, sleek visuals, and energetic music creates a flow state that’s hard to match. Whether you’re casually slashing through tracks or chasing full combos on Expert+, the game feels incredibly rewarding.

The community support is also amazing—with custom songs, mods, and a thriving player base, there’s always something new to try. It’s also a surprisingly great workout—playing for even 20 minutes gets your heart rate up.

If you own a VR headset, Beat Saber is a must-have. It's one of those games that perfectly showcases what makes VR special.

I love colors, flashing lights and smashing stuff

I can see why this game is popular. If you have ever been addicted to music-based games like Dance Dance Revolution or Guitar Hero, you're going to love this! This game is very addictive, which is a good thing because it actually gets you moving. You'll have fun in this game, and get fit at the same time. You'll find yourself sweating after a couple of songs, and then you'll feel good about yourself.

Though it's a little pricey for a Stepmania-game that you play with your hands in VR. Plus the DLC songs costs a fair bit too. But I guess you should afford it if you're rich enough to afford a VR headset.

This game is fun and active, there are different levels and songs to listen to. Sometimes our vr doesn't work, and idk.

Love this game. I would recommend to def mod it with at least custom songs and some sabers too if your interested in that. You could probably search "beat saber custom songs steam" or "beat saber custom sabers steam" click on a random vid from a year ago and figure it out it's actually pretty simple. When you first start playing I would say wait off from custom levels though until you have like 50 hours bare minimum (and yes you will most likely be playing for that long if not multiple times more than that).

Honesly the best VR game I play, when you're bored, play Beat Saber, when you want a quick workout/Cardio play Beat Saber, want modded songs play Beat Saber, wanna have fun with friends, play Beat saber, It's just that fun. Although you may rage quite a lot. Nothing beats it, Funnest VR game ever.

the game is very fun and a lot of good choices of music not to mention its a fun way to get to move around a lot more.

A must have for any VR game library. Just do customs instead of buying songs tho

Officially became a block-slashing addict, never disappoints

This is the best VR game!
There are mods, custom songs and 7 official song playlists!

insane how easy it is to get basically any song on here. as soon as the music publishers find out about sites like beat saver they’re getting dmca’d to hell

Fun game plagued by performance issues. Haven't been able to set highscores because game just won't let me do that. Game is underutilizing GPU and CPU, and lags and stutters in exact spots on custom maps. This is frustrating experience. Is there no tech specialist who could fix performance issues? Players have been posting about performance issues for years.

The game itself might be a bit overpriced, and since it requires the player to move a lot in order to play the game itself, it can actually be a fun workout game too. I would probably wishlist the game and buy it when its on sale if I didnt buy it yet

Sold out to Facebook, game is fun, but they keep breaking mods to push silly DLC that no one sane should buy because of modding. Best to just sail the high seas for this one.

Best game ever
- 50kg in 10 minutes
would recommend 100%

I haven't been playing this game for THAT long but i can easily say that this game is great for those who like to hit squares to music. I highly recommend anyone out there who hates squares to give this game a go; very fun to finally show those pesky squares whose boss. Make sure to leave no square left alive.

this game is incredibly frustrating for me. the blocks are following no clear pattern and so i can't predict them - yet i must, otherwise i am too slow. my only chance is dumb memorization. practice does not help at all since i am unaware of how i could improve or what my mistake was. i fail at the exact same spots every time since i cannot "see the blocks" fast enough. to me, it becomes just visual noise.

great only with mods however. Base game is boring as hell due to the limited selection.

great game, playing it is basically a workout

Very fun game, but I highly recommend using mods for custom songs because the standard song library gets repetitive... 10/10 game when it comes to gameplay and mechanics though.

holy fudge this game is great. might be the best rhythm game I've played.

If you want to break your stuff this game is recommended.

10/10
-accidentally throwing my controller at mach 5
-breaking my cables and then i couldn’t play the game so i need to buy a new one
-hitting my brother in the head
-mod the game and download thousands of song

It's decent. not tho really my thing tho but it's fun.
Recommend if you like dancing and being hyper!

Very nice game indeed. Very tight and well synchronized. Probably the best VR rhythm game around. I just wish more free music packs would be released from time to time. I'm not going to spend money on music I don't even like.

pretty peak, just takes a while to get used to the unique controls and the way some maps are charted

As a big Star Wars fan and a dancer, dancing around to my favourite songs while whacking blocks with lightsabers is definitely my new jam.

I'm recently new to VR and I'll be honest, this game is the one I was most looking forward to. It absolutely does NOT disappoint! It's extremely immersive and super fun to play.. PLUS a killer workout if that's what you're looking for!

Very fun game and the campaign is quite challenging. After finishing it I went as far as Expert+ level. However, after I saw that there are even harder modes like the blocks coming from different directions (left and right), I stopped... got discouraged :D

I think Beat Saber alone makes VR worth it—just get BSManager for mods and custom songs and it's perfect

This game made me break my arm. But my screams of pain went along with lyrics of the song. I was beating to, SO i say 10 out 10 broken arms and smashed computers screens,

I like these rhythm games. This one is particularly great in many regards. The ability to find community created songs through mod loaders is what gives this game its longevity.

Played for the first time before for more than 3 hours straight. Was not able to feel my arms after.

I know it seems like I say this about every game but this is truly the most fun I've ever had playing a video game I have racked up 500+ hours over quest 2 and a different steam account and this one and am top 500 and rising on beatleader after switching back to rift s from quest 2 I instantly got better at the game and it is so fun

Is there a mod to replace boxes with younglings?

Good game with supporting of custom levels and music for VR
Good perfomance

you have to buy any good song and if you dont youre stuck with some techno bullshit

This is one of the best vr games I have played so far. Mechanically very simple to learn but takes a lot of work to master.

Without mods, this game is unplayable :( And for some reason, now it won't even start. Good job.

fun tbh. not much to it but its simmple to learn and i would recoment it to anyone.

One of the best rhythm games in general. and my personal favorite VR game. Very replayable with mods and super easy for anyone to pick up, even with limited play room.

Beat Saber is a popular rhythm-based VR game where players slice through blocks to the beat of energetic music using lightsabers. The game combines physical activity with rhythm, offering an engaging and fun experience. Here’s a quick breakdown:

Gameplay:
Objective: Slice the cubes that appear in time with the music. The cubes are color-coded and come in different directions, requiring quick reflexes.
Difficulty Levels: From easy to expert, players can choose their challenge level. The higher the difficulty, the faster the cubes come at you, requiring more precision and faster reaction times.
Music: The game features a wide selection of music, from original tracks to user-generated content. Players can also purchase additional music packs with popular songs.
Modes: Includes single-player and multiplayer modes, and you can also compete on leaderboards to compare your scores with others worldwide.
VR Experience:
Beat Saber is available on multiple VR platforms like the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and PlayStation VR, providing an immersive experience with precise motion tracking.
The game is praised for its ability to provide a good workout, especially when playing on higher difficulty levels, all while being fun and addictive. Whether you want to improve your rhythm skills or just have a good time, Beat Saber is widely considered one of the best VR games available.

somehow made my gain muscles.

reminder to use mods if you want to play this game, else majority of the songs is kinda avg at best. With mods though you get crap ton of songs to play (and for free!).

I don't have many hours on PC, I came from playing on Playstation and Quest.

Beat saber is one of the best VR games I have ever played, I really recommend buying it if you have the intention to mod it as DLC gets quite pricey and doesn't really hold a flame to the capability of the modding community.

Arguably one of the best Rhythm games that happens to be VR that gets more and more frustrating and annoying to play as you delve into it.
The core game play is solid and enjoyable, not much can go wrong with cutting blocks in half with laser swords to a good rhythm. This however leads to the first of my many issues with the game.
Of the core songs, which there are seven volumes and an "extra" pack with remixes on some songs in said volumes, I would say maybe.... half at best are actually enjoyable to play. The designs of the beat tracks in a lot of the songs seem to not have been designed in a way that answers "what is an enjoyable rhythm and flow that the player can get into?" but instead "how can we make this song 'unique' by adding obtuse and annoying flows and physically awkward ways the player has to contort themselves?"
Next major issue is the complete lack of internal consistency in the difficulty selection for each song, an expert level on one can easily be the same level as a normal or even easy song just one song lower in the list. This leads to picking songs to play that you aren't completely familiar with a pain as you have to try and figure out how difficult a song is not by it's listed difficulty but by the other stats that you are shown e.g blocks per second etc. This combined with the previously mentioned issue in returns to beatmap design being a crapshoot on first try can lead to you being completely ambushed by a songs difficulty and failing within the first 30 seconds on something you'd reasonably expect to complete based on the difficulty you selected: this is not fun for hopefully obvious reasons.
Final major issue is the DLC song situation and how pushed updates break all mods for this game every time a DLC is published. My major issue with the DLCs is two fold, firstly is that there is no way to try out a song first to see if it's actually enjoyable. This is a big deal as Beat Saber by this point has shown that it's a coin flip at best whether a song, from a rhythm game perspective, will even be fun to play. Second issue with DLCs is that the updates they come with, that you can't avoid installing if you want to play the game, will break all mods you are using and potentially relying on to make the game more usable or adding more content.

Final words/TLDR: Beat Saber is an excellent rythm game with no real competitors in the VR space but it's many issues outside the core game of slicing stuff with laser swords and the poor and unfun design of nearly half or more of the core songs you have in the base game means I can't give this a recommend at this time.

5+ Hours Played Review -

Ill start this off by saying I personally played this on the Quest 2 which worked great for what I wanted out of beat saber, however there is definitely more available with more equipment. Beat Sabers's standard catalog is fine, there is a good selection however the community created modded tracks definitely help Beat saber shine. The game is pretty fluid and honestly ends up being a great exercise to get you moving, whilst also being an enjoyable time. Id definitely recommend this for anyone with a want for more VR games in their catalog.

This game saved my life in so many ways... I have just had my appendix removed after playing this game noticing serve abdominal pain after achieving S rank on one of the songs.
Turns out I had asymptomatic appendicitis and without it would have ruptured without me knowing
My family thanks you Beat Games and I will always be grateful knowing that if I hadn't played and not been in so much pain I wouldn't have gone to the hospital early to get it checked out.

good game. directions> slice block music color arrow

Really satisfying if you enjoy rhythm games, though I personally stick to custom songs.

Modding is easy, but it would be even better if the developers didn’t keep breaking mods with every update just to add more DLC. Luckily, that has an easy solution.

Any game that also acts as exercise is a win win and Beat Saber is a very fun game. There’s few things like getting into a flow state while playing and having the notes all line up as you bob to the music. With the ability to download custom maps you’re not even limited to the lineup of artists that come with the DLCs.
