  • music
    754 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many players expressing disappointment over the limited song selection, which is largely locked behind a subscription paywall. Users noted significant issues with song synchronization, often experiencing delays that disrupt gameplay, and criticized the inability to permanently own songs, as they can only be rented for short periods. While some nostalgic tracks from the original o2jam are present, the overall execution and monetization model have left fans feeling frustrated and unsatisfied.

    • “Very nostalgic music~!”
    • “So nostalgic to play again some of my favorite songs and it's will be always fun to play them.”
    • “I loved the music, and I still listen to the songs to this day.”
    • “Now, let's delve into the 'music' – if you can even call it that.”
    • “But on top of that, the selection of songs is complete nonsense with there only being like 20-30 songs in the entire game unless you pay a hefty subscription fee!”
    • “The songs that you can play for free are horribly mis-timed compared to the chart; the song starts later than the charting, which is detrimental for rhythm games.”
  • gameplay
    86 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players noting significant issues such as lag, poor note registration, and a confusing user interface that feels more suited for mobile devices than PC. While some aspects of the rhythm mechanics are appreciated, the overall experience is marred by technical glitches, a lack of innovation, and a judgment system that fails to deliver accurate feedback. Overall, players express disappointment, feeling that the game does not live up to the standards set by its predecessors and lacks the quality necessary to justify its cost.

    • “I quite adore rhythm games of all different types, whether they have mania mechanics, you're clicking circles, spinning your mouse, or using visuals heavily to hit to the beat like Rhythm Heaven, Melatonin, etc.”
    • “This game isn't entirely awful in regards to the gameplay because you'll at least hit great when hitting to the beat, but the charting is off and it makes it not entirely impossible to hit perfect, but exceptionally unlikely to do so.”
    • “I think they need an actual quality assurance for the gameplay itself and see if they might have overdone the need to be accurate that they left too little to no space for delay.”
    • “And also, I don't know if it's a skill issue with me or not, but sometimes notes won't register during gameplay; I even press the right keys and it sometimes misses.”
    • “There's a lot that needs to improve gameplay-wise and graphically for it to reach a point where spending money on it makes sense. I feel like the best option would be for it to move to a permanent pack unlock/progression unlock based model like the rest of the industry has already established.”
    • “I would not recommend it now, and do not expect high-quality gameplay, as the game is still pretty much stuck in the late 2000s in terms of quality.”
  • graphics
    78 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many users comparing them unfavorably to outdated browser or mobile games. Common complaints include low resolution, blurriness, and a lack of polish, leading to a gameplay experience that feels laggy and unrefined. While some players appreciate the color balance, the overall consensus is that significant improvements are needed to elevate the visual quality to modern standards.

    • “Nice game graphics though.”
    • “The graphics are way less than 1080p quality, so even rendering at the lowest available resolution, 720p, the game still looks blurry, though colors are nice and balanced.”
    • “Graphics being updated to a higher resolution (as some of the song backgrounds and note results look pretty baked).”
    • “To start, the visuals look almost worse than a browser game, and I did play the old-school Beat2Jam/O2Jam v2 and v3 to palate cleanse after this tragic mess.”
    • “The graphics look like a terrible mobile game (because that's exactly where they were taken from), the charts aren't super fun from my experience, and the worst part: the song rental system.”
    • “Song loading is eternal, charts are broken, UX is really poor, UI and graphics look like a +10 year old phone game at this point.”
  • optimization
    52 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has been widely criticized, with users reporting severe performance issues, including stuttering, audio sync problems, and input lag, even on high-end systems. Many players describe it as unoptimized and comparable to older games, with some stating that it feels like a poorly executed port from mobile. While some initial complaints have been addressed, persistent issues remain, leading to a frustrating experience overall.

    • “It's not enough to make a huge difference to score, but I definitely had a few inputs drop due to lag, when a considerably heavier performance rhythm game, Project Diva Megamix, performs flawlessly on this system.”
    • “Most of the complaints regarding performance and sync issues at launch are resolved, but there are still sudden network disconnections from time to time (thanks, GameGuard).”
    • “As for performance, the game stutters regularly and some animations even lag when I'm running the game with hardware light-years ahead of what's listed in the recommended requirements.”
    • “Overall, this is a lazy and terrible port of a version of o2jam clearly not optimized for PC.”
    • “Stay away from this unoptimized garbage and go play something better like ez2on or DJ Max.”
  • monetization
    50 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model of the game has been widely criticized as a blatant cash grab, featuring excessive microtransactions and temporary unlocks instead of permanent access to content. Players express frustration over the game's reliance on paywalls and the overall greedy approach of the developers, which detracts from the nostalgic value of the original title. Many reviewers recommend avoiding the game due to its exploitative monetization practices and poor execution.

    • “With regards to monetization, I understand that this is a free-to-play game with microtransactions, but they're terrible with 7-day and 30-day unlocks only, instead of permanent unlocks for your account from the original O2Jam for PC.”
    • “I get it, you made the game free to play so that you can include in-game purchases.”
    • “Tldr: it's a soulless nostalgia bait of a game that never improved since the early 2000s (and somehow downgraded) while incorporating the negative aspects of modern gaming monetization.”
    • “Valofe has a very, very long history with pumping out cash grabs on dead IPs; this is absolutely no different.”
    • “Game became a cash grab, what an unfortunate end to a famous rhythm game from the past.”
    • “All in all, a disgustingly bad attempt at a cash grab for people drowning in nostalgia.”
  • stability
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent audio glitches, visual bugs, and lag that disrupt gameplay. Many users report being unable to open the game altogether, and the overall experience is marred by a lack of permanent songs and numerous UI/UX problems. These technical shortcomings contribute to a frustrating and unstable gaming environment.

    • “Might also be the reason that the game became quite buggy and I actually can't open the game anymore.”
    • “The audio not only glitches out frequently, but the song's timing drifts away as well.”
    • “Game is buggy, very many UI/UX issues encountered in the game, you need to buy the songs, very few free-to-play songs, no multiplayer feature, makes the game boring.”
  • humor
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is often described as unintentional, stemming from its frequent crashes and overall poor quality, which some players find amusing. Elements like a poorly executed advertisement and a laughing soundtrack contribute to the comedic experience, though opinions vary on whether these aspects enhance or detract from the game. Overall, while the humor may not be intentional, it elicits genuine laughter from players.

    • “You know with the game being pretty trash and crashing every 5 mins and all, pretty funny I gotta say, honestly made me laugh.”
    • “The advertisement is hilariously bad.”
    • “And what's with the laughing soundtrack while playing?”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, noting that the ranking rewards are limited to the top 10, favoring those who purchase VIP passes for score farming. The overall sentiment suggests that the game lacks a meaningful progression system, as most content requires payment, making grinding feel unnecessary and unfulfilling.

    • “Ranking rewards only for the top 10, which means players who bought the 1-month VIP pass will dominate in score farming.”
    • “Ranking rewards only for the top 10, which means players who bought the 1-month VIP pass will dominate in score farming.”

There is a call for authenticity and completeness in storytelling, indicating that a strong narrative aligned with the game's vision is crucial for player engagement.
