The music in the game has received high praise for its excellent soundtrack and integration into gameplay, particularly through the rhythm ride mode where players pop balloons to the beat. Users appreciate the ability to use custom songs and beatmaps, enhancing the experience further. However, there is a minor critique regarding the sound quality of fireworks in the first stage, which some found lacking.
“It feels almost exactly like the test drive scene from 'How to Train Your Dragon', especially if you put the music on in the background.”
“I have to admit the rhythm ride mode is my favorite, and this mode even supports custom beatmaps/songs without installing mods - something that doesn't seem to be noticed yet by the Beat Saber players.”
“The music feels almost exactly like the test drive scene from 'How to Train Your Dragon', especially if you put the music on in the background.”
