Beat Souls

Beat Souls is a console ported Guitar Hero ripoff with a garish, ugly colour scheme and "innovative" gameplay in that you have these two blobs on either side of you and you need to move them around to collect things off the 5 Guitar Hero bands that flow down at you. And you need to jump over some hazards. Whatever. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. Because this is a console game, it carries a number of deliberate design deficiencies. Compromises were made to cater to the inferior console gaming appliances that the game was designed for. These are unfortunate compromises and limitations that PC gamers shouldn't be forced to accept, but it's evident that PC was a second thought for the console-centric developers. The game is deficien…

i love this game, idk why there's so many negative reviews - yes it';s very bright but u can edit the settings so it's less flashy if u want to. i find all the songs are funky and the variation of difficulties of the levels is good,, i really like the art style and the quite unique way that this rhythm game works.

Not a rhythm game! Music based parkour game, yes. Kind of like a runner game with obstacles. You know, if you have played Everhood, this is like that. It's fun! Especially worth it if you grab it while it is on sale.

This game does some things very well and some things not so well- ultimately, I don't recommend it just because of the music selection. The game mechanics are really interesting and new (more of a beat trip game than a "true" rhythm game, but it's still fun), and at the right difficulty, it's really fun to play. If you like flashy graphics, they're there, if not, I believe you can disable them. The big thing, though, is that the lack of music variety (songs are mostly by one artist) makes me not interested in continuing to play the game. Some of the music is good! Most of it is alright! But there's not much that that draws me to keep trying and improving. Having to unlock songs one by one was a bit annoying, but I personally didn't mind that much. So, great game if you either love the music or don't need music to be great to want to play rhythm games. Otherwise, maybe not.

This is a great game - it's [b]fun to play[/b] and has a [b]unique art style[/b] that stands out from many other games. Try the demo and decide for yourself though, as the full game is more of what the demo gives you. (Be warned that the full game's later stages on [i]NORMAL difficulty[/i] are more hectic than any of the demo's stages on [i]HARD difficulty[/i] though.) Additionally, both the demo and the full game run flawlessly on the Steam Deck (LCD).

My eyes hurt.
