Audioshield

First of all: Audioshield is fun, yes. The first time you try it, you will giggle like a little kid, because it just feels great to smash the orbs with the beat in a what feels like a giant stadium. You will probably go through most of the "most popular songs" and will search for good tracks for audioshield ingame on soundcloud. BUT: After the first hype has worn off you will realise some flaws: The game should not...

Since the removal of Youtube streaming, it is hard to recommend for $20. This was without a doubt a great initial VR game, but the song tracking does not live up to the included and custom charts in Beat Saber. Just booted up again and tried both old songs I used to play from my computer and new downloads only to find the tracking was way off. Also don't know if this review will even be seen because it appears the...

Okay - I have almost 300 hours logged in this game, and I've modded it to the extreme. The good: • You feel like a badass when you have a storm of notes flying at you. The particle effects are fantastic. • This game is the ultimate for freeform movement. Wanna spin round and hit notes from behind? Do it. Punch every single note as if you were boxing? Choose the Cestus Brawler gloves and have at it. • Modding. You...

As a workout, this game is great. As a musical experience, if you have any sense of rhythm, it falls flat.

It's as awesome as Audiosurf, though this time you are standing IN the world generated by your music! You can punch notes flying at you with various types of shields, with increased difficulty notes will come from more extreme directions and with a much denser pattern of notes. When the music gets more intense the stream of notes will actually come at you from a higher angle, making you fistpump in the air when the...

Oh, the potential Audioshield has but will never reach... Audioshield is indisputably my favorite of my VR collection. Ever since day 1 of owning my Vive, I've kept coming back to Audioshield to try to smash out some songs on the hardest difficulty. It gets my blood pumping, my heart pounding, and leaves me feeble and sweaty spread out across the floor. Its the closest thing I get to sex. Unfortunately, the...
