Audio Trip

Almost perfect for what I was looking for: a VR workout that's strictly [b]not[/b] a rhythm game, with a certain sense of flow to the movements rather than constant abrupt motions. There's some punching and smashing, but most of the time you will be transitioning smoothly between poses and positions, wielding your cyber pom-poms. [i]Synth Riders[/i] is great too, but [i]Audio Trip[/i]'s obstacle-dodging involves the entire upper body AND both hands and literally pushes me and my body further out of my comfort zone. The focus is more on "dancing" than rhythmic precision, and the visuals and music are perfectly synchronized. In general the mood and music seems more clubby, I don't know, better produced and choreographed? Bit of pet peeve of mine when I don't "feel" the connection between music and visuals. Very well done here. Intensely challenging, even on the beginner levels. Don't expect much of a warm-up period. Not much audio feedback when you hit something right, though.

It's decent, but not a favourite. I've been wanting alternatives to Synth Riders, which is usually my VR rhythm game of choice, so I decided to give this a go when it was on sale. I'd reccommend getting it while it's on sale as I think it's fun, but a bit lacking. Pros: -I appreciate the variety in the way that you have to slam or touch the blocks from the right direction sometimes, as opposed to just touching them. -The way the blocks are set up makes it feel like you're dancing, and that's fun. You're encouraged to move around, which I like. -The levels feel well made for the most part. -Good songs. -I like that there's a campaign to play so you can just follow a route that's set up. Cons: -I had a few issues with the UI. Since hand movements are registered as pressing buttons while in the menus, instead of acutally pressing a button on your controller, I managed to press buttons unintentionally while just moving my arms. One time it made me accidentally back out of a level, which was frustrating. -The number of songs is very limited which makes me less inclined to wanna play for a longer while. - The directional blocks are overly difficult to get right, at least in my perso…

I almost gave this a negative rating because the game didn't make it clear that your hands set off the barriers and it made me think the hitboxes were just really bad. Luckily I figured it out. The dancing is really quite fun and the song selection is decent. Freestyle mode is the best way to play this because the campaign difficulty is kind of all over the place. It was certainly a choice to force 100% completion of the each section of the campaign before you can progress, Small hands modifier is awful on Quest. There's also no quit button. Still enjoyable though.

New to vr rythm games and although I used to go out and party, 30mins with this game makes you really sweat, and funny to find orginal music that I only heard in other genre remixes. Even beginner is challenging, but if you determined it is one of the best options for cardio. I highly recommend it.

Good exercise

Very good
