Beat Saber is a virtual reality rhythm game developed by Ján Ilavský, Vladimír Hrinčár, and Peter Hrinčár. The game was published by Czech game developer Beat Games and was later obtained by Oculus Studios. It takes place in many different surrealistic neon environments and features the player slicing blocks representing musical beats with a pair of brightly colored sabers. Following an early access release on May 1, 2018, the game was officially released for PlayStation 4 and Windows on May 21, 2019, and for the Meta Quest in standalone mode.

Runs well on modern hardware.

[This review comes from a longtime quest player, so most of my hours are there] This game on itself is just, fine. You kinda need to play modded or else the 30 bucks you spent on this game will never be worth it Meta bought the game and ruined it for everyone, focusing on DLC packs instead of the free OST packs and there's no variety with the OST packs the same three or four artists with the same sound all throughout Beat saber peaked in OST 5, most songs, most variety feels like new songs also don't care about people who want to have fun, expert+ became less about fun but skill, which I don't mind obviously but newer maps feel like you have to twist your bones to hit notes, like the difficulty is intended for those that DO play modded meanwhile, DLC maps get the songs people DO want and with actual good, fun mapping I just can't get into the flow with OST maps Modded adds alot of QoL features and makes the game actually enjoyable, you get actual songs that you want and the option to do ranked (featuring a pp system like osu) I'm genuinely disappointed about the state of the game right now, however it's still a lot of fun modded and ever since meta bought the game, the game has been horribly mistreated on Steam - this game hasn't been on sale in YEARS - it only went on sale ONCE, meanwhile the game constantly goes on sale on the horizon platform, and sometimes even given out for free (if you get the 30 dollars from their referral program) they've constantly made it harder to mod the game on the quest, you NEED a computer to mod it now. TL;DR 10/10 game, meta ruined the main game, play modded. P.S. OST 8 sucks, and the new extra 3 songs are just sad - 8th year anniversary and we only get scraps. Screw you, Meta.
I was too locked in when playing, accidently punched a hole thru my monitor while playing this game.
absolutely amazing game when modded but like just dont injur ur wrists other than that best game ive ever played fire emoji
