The music aspect of the game offers easy custom song importation, allowing players to add their own tracks, but many users express frustration over the lack of well-known songs and the presence of annoying lobby music. While the game has made strides in improving custom song compatibility and features, issues with song syncing, difficulty mapping, and a basic song editor hinder the overall experience. Players desire more official content and better tools for creating and managing custom songs to enhance gameplay.
“You can add your own custom songs (or songs you can port from other games with the right tools).”
“They keep putting out updates to improve custom song support and the devs look like they're pouring in a lot of effort to make this a really great game.”
“Feels more musical and more vibrant than those other titles, and piques my interest as I never was able to get into the other guitar-based music games before.”
“Ass game, no way to turn off annoying incel music in lobby. Do not buy.”
“I wish there was an official DLC for known songs because although you can find some in the wild, many of them are off sync or only available in expert difficulty.”
“This game is now a full release and I think it shouldn't be for customs. It can be a pain when two of the same songs have different mappings, like a song ripped from Rock Band and Guitar Hero. The game will mix the difficulties together and play both tracks regardless of which version you picked.”

The gameplay is engaging and well-designed, offering both guitar and drum mechanics that feel familiar to rhythm game fans, with the added benefit of custom song support and accessibility options. However, some players find the campaign tracks uninspiring, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite this, the immersive full-body engagement and flexibility for quick or extended play sessions are highlighted as strong points.
“One of the best VR games to just throw on for either a bit of quick gameplay or longer sessions.”
“Much more exaggerated movements and full body engagement really immersed me in the gameplay.”
“The game mechanics are well made and the support of custom songs are really nice, although there is a huge problem with the game.”
“My biggest struggle with this game is the actual gameplay.”
“Guitar gameplay feels how you would expect coming from other controller-based rhythm games.”
