Sorry, but no. Previous games were funny, even when you have no musical education. This game has no easy and difficulty raised. First level on normal already not casual.

They forgot to put a story in the game so the whole thing feels pointless and short. Not nearly as good as the first two but still worth it for the music alone.

TL;DR - It's the weakest of the three so far and feels like a rushed game. If you want it, get it on megasale. Compared to the previous two, yes it's very weak. But on it's own it's weak too. There's way less story elements, less character interaction, and the change in Chopin's voice actor was jarring and just not clean in execution. Really felt like it jolted us from song to song without much in between which was part of the fun quirkiness of the previous installments. The input system is *rough* in that it's very difficult to read exactly where some of the notes are. If this was my first Frederic game, I don't know if I'd have a fighting chance at reading it well. A lot of the music felt like it was lacking the flair and energy from previous games. There was more than one that was excessively repetitive and the difficulty is significantly lower now. I was bummed there was no "Chopin difficulty" after completing it on hard.

i would love to recommend this game to people cause i love beat game and i love the first two games but sadly i cannot this one just doesnt seem to add anything special the first two had great and amazing music pieces and actually felt challenging (spent atleast 2-3 hours on the final boos of episode 2) but this one as you can see by my time played was a breeze and i just ran through it all like nothing and everything felt samey there was no distinction no life if you asked me did fred save the music in this one sadly the answer is no

The story feels rushed, the voice acting is terrible, the purple attacks interrupt the main gameplay, the dialogue is lackluster, Chopin doesn't even get a chance to have a personality, I didn't even really understand what was happening until almost the very end, the UI is unfortunate to say the least, and for $10, it is incredibly short. I would've rather bought DLC for the second game than this.

The keybind customization sucks. Why on God's green earth is your game piano themed, but formatted for me to primarily use only one hand. FFS, let me use the arrow keys or numpad if you're gonna let me change the settings You get what you pay for ig, but it makes that game unplayable
