The music in the game is widely praised for its energetic and fitting EDM style, enhancing the immersive combat experience and syncing well with the action. However, some players note that the selection of songs is somewhat limited, and there are concerns about the use of AI-generated lyrics, which detracts from the overall musical quality. Despite these drawbacks, the soundtrack effectively keeps players engaged and motivated throughout the gameplay.
- “The music and visuals are really good.”
- “The music fits with the action taking place in the game and it's very satisfying to correctly hit the enemies on beat with the music.”
- “I can't think of any complaints about this game, the mechanics are fun and varied, the music *slaps* and the combat just *feels* nice.”
- “However, while the music is very fitting for the game's style and theme, it also kind of limits the musical genres you get to play.”
- “There's not a lot of songs unfortunately, but it's not *too* few; could definitely use more though.”
- “The other big issue I have right now is that the songs seem to be generated using AI.”

Rager offers a unique gameplay experience that diverges from its predecessor, Beat Saber, by focusing on melee combat against a variety of enemies rather than flying blocks. The game features a range of weapons, a fun and creative gameplay loop, and challenging boss fights that require mastery of mechanics, though some players find the tutorial interruptions repetitive. Overall, it is praised for its engaging rhythm-based action, energetic music, and active 360-degree gameplay, though some users note issues with hit detection for blocking mechanics.
- “But if you're looking for an all-round cardio game with lenient rhythm mechanics, a variety of melee combat, a unique art style, and hard-hitting EDM music, then you'll definitely enjoy Rager.”
- “The gameplay loop is fun and creative.”
- “I can't think of any complaints about this game; the mechanics are fun and varied, the music slaps, and the combat just feels nice.”
- “Rager is commonly referred to as the new Beat Saber and at first glance the mechanics do seem quite similar, as instead of flying blocks you've got a range of enemies to attack instead, but if you're expecting the gameplay to feel similar you'd be largely mistaken.”
- “Your control is routinely taken away by the game during tutorials to demonstrate the 'perfect hit' version of whatever move it's teaching you, but at times this began to feel repetitive when I was really just itching to get back into the game.”
- “The blocking mechanic I find is quite difficult compared to the other forms of attack; the motion needed for it is slightly less susceptible to being recognized in-game, especially when trying to do two at once, as the double blocks have worse hit detection compared to any of the other double attacks.”
