    The game features a solid soundtrack of indie and classic rock songs with satisfying, intuitive instrument mechanics that capture the joy of collaborative VR music performance. Mod support allows for a diverse library of custom songs, though multiplayer currently lacks integration for these mods, limiting long-term variety. While some issues with note visibility and responsiveness remain, the music experience is engaging, immersive, and especially rewarding when played with friends.

    • “The audio design also excels—crowd reactions rise and fall with the music, and the sense of space in the sound mix gives the impression of performing in a true venue rather than an isolated practice space.”
    • “The guitar and bass use intuitive strumming and fret-slide motions, allowing players to mimic real playing without requiring prior musical experience.”
    • “It has a really good soundtrack for the game and mod support built in for modded songs added by the community.”
    • “The musical soundtrack is all over the place.”
    • “However, in my gameplay, most of the custom songs had very poor beat maps.”
    • “Unfortunately, multiplayer does not yet support custom tracks, meaning online sessions are limited to the base song list, which somewhat restricts long-term variety.”
