Great visual experience that allows users to control lighting and visuals in harmony with their music, creating an immersive atmosphere.
Offers a unique way to interact with music, allowing for creativity and personal expression through visualizations.
Highly praised for its relaxing qualities, making it an excellent choice for unwinding while enjoying favorite tunes.

The game does not automatically sync visuals to the music, requiring manual input to create interesting effects, which can be frustrating for users seeking a more passive experience.
Some users found the design choices limiting, feeling disconnected from the music without automatic visual reactions.
Misleading advertising led to disappointment for some players who expected a more automated visual experience rather than one requiring active participation.

The music aspect of the game is praised for its immersive visual experience that allows players to control lighting effects in harmony with their chosen music, creating a captivating atmosphere. However, some users express disappointment that the visuals do not automatically sync to the music, requiring manual input to achieve desired effects, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite these criticisms, many believe the program offers a unique and enjoyable way to engage with music and visuals, making it a worthwhile purchase for fans of both.
- “Great visual experience that you control in harmony with the music of your choice and set the lighting tempo so the visual feast works with any type of music. It would be awesome if you could somehow save and playback what you have created and just experience it again and hone it in so the visualization is perfect for the song of your choice.”
- “Wishing aside, if you enjoy mind-bending visuals set in a dome-shaped club with an amazing backdrop of the cosmos where you can control a vast array of lighting effects to the music, or you can just kick back and let it auto to the beat. This is head and shoulders above other music visualizers I've tried in VR and well worth picking up.”
- “Soundscape is the first program I have tried that immersed me in the electronic music experience the same way as I would be in real life.”
- “Bad design choice for those that want to just turn it on and enjoy the visual/audio experience; the program does not sync to the music you play.”
- “Could be great, but without any reaction to the beat of your music, this feels completely disconnected.”
- “It calls itself a music visualizer, but it doesn't react to the music.”

The graphics in this VR music visualizer are praised for their stunning, mind-bending visuals set against a cosmic backdrop, offering an immersive experience that allows users to control lighting effects in sync with music. However, some users expressed disappointment that the visuals do not automatically sync to the music as advertised, requiring manual input to change the visuals, which detracts from the relaxing experience they sought. Overall, while the visuals are impressive and engaging, the lack of automatic synchronization may not meet everyone's expectations.
- “Wishing aside, if you enjoy mind-bending visuals set in a dome-shaped club with an amazing backdrop of the cosmos where you can control a vast array of lighting effects to the music, or you can just kick back and let it auto to the beat, this is head and shoulders above other music visualizers I've tried in VR and well worth picking up.”
- “I love that I have control over the timing of the visuals; it makes the experience so much more immersive to me than any other visualizer could be.”
- “If you love music or surreal visuals, this program is a must-buy and is an absolute bargain at the current price.”
- “After buying, I then read a couple of reviews saying it didn't change the visuals automatically with the music, and it wasn't as advertised.”
- “Instead, the visuals did not change to the beat of my music; I had to manually press and hold a button to the beat of the music to change the visuals.”
- “I have been going to music festivals all over the world for a long time now and always thought VR would be a great fit for those kinds of otherworldly visuals.”
