Band Space

[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 3[/h1] You can view my gameplay here: https://youtu.be/-ZlqItQUvL0 I don't understand how this game has gotten so many positive reviews from Steam VR gamers. You can literally play almost any other VR rhythm game and have a better experience. This is a mediocre experience at best in one of the strongest categories for VR. The musical soundtrack is all over the place. Yes, there are some good indie songs in there that you've never heard of before. However, there's more that are awful and that you also haven't heard of before. The beatmaps are also all over the place in quality and I'm not talking about the custom mod songs. No, several of the in-game beatmaps are also done rather poorly. It doesn't feel like you're playing an instrument most of the time. It doesn't feel like you're holding an instrument. Your hands aren't even touching the drumsticks when strumming, that's how poorly made the game is! The hit detection is inconsistent. I got many double-hits while strumming the guitar or bass or striking the drumstick. The haptics are inconsistent as well. It is cool that the game has mod support for custom songs and online multiplayer so you …

Fun. Custom songs are neat. You aren't limited to the base songs of the game. Worth it when on sale.

Band Space, developed by Smartmelon Games and published by Fast Travel Games, is a virtual reality rhythm experience that captures the spirit of performing in a live band with friends.

The premise is simple but compelling: players choose from four instruments—guitar, bass, drums, or keyboard—and perform songs either solo or with up to three other players in multiplayer mode. Each role has been designed to provide a distinct perspective on performance, whether it’s hammering out drum beats, striking rhythmic chords on the guitar, or weaving melodic runs across the keyboard. The sense of presence that VR provides makes this experience far more immersive than a traditional rhythm game could ever hope to achieve. The gameplay system in Band Space takes inspiration from the legacy of rhythm games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band while adapting the concept for virtual reality’s unique physicality. The guitar and bass use intuitive strumming and fret-slide motio…

This game is Amazing. Takes me back to my Rockband/Guitar hero days. But instead we are in VR Even managed to quick match at 9am on a monday and find people to play multiplayer with. It has a really good soundtrack for the game and mod support built in for modded songs added by the community. Its criminal this game hasnt been seen more imo. Just a perfect VR Experience and game. Band Space > Beat Saber TBH
