Beat Saber Free Download GAMESPACK.NET Whenever I want to show VR to friends who’ve never tried it before (which is one of the great pleasures of owning a headset), Beat Saber is the game I fire up first. Few other games so quickly and effectively get across the appeal of this technology as it does, throwing a stream of color-coded boxes at your face and turning your controllers into a pair of mismatched, off-brand lightsabers with which to slice and dice them in time to pumping electronic beats. Honing your skills to turn frantic flailing into precision swings is as satisfying as it is sweaty. As VR games go, Beat Saber doesn’t push the limits of the technology too far. You play it standing still and facing straight ahead with nothing going on behind you, so you don’t need a room-scale setup – even the PlayStation VR’s basic single-camera tracking can handle it fine. The shiny neon-rave graphics are simple but clear and easily readable, so it looks nearly as good on the Oculus Quest as it does on a Vive Pro (with just a few effects turned down). These unlicensed lightsabers don’t make the signature whizzing sounds of Star Wars, which I can’t help but feel a tad disappointed by, but the sound they do make meshes well with the music they’re timed to.

That creates the feeling of being a participant in the song. While I don’t consider myself much of a fan of electronic dance music in general, I have to say that Beat Saber’s original soundtrack by Jaroslav Beck surprised me with how catchy some of its songs can be. Legend, $100 Bills, and Escape are all hard to get out of my head, and few of the 19 included songs have gotten annoying no matter how many times I’ve played through them. That said, it’s a somewhat limited selection to work with next to most rhythm games, and only the PC version (via Steam or the Oculus Store) supports importing custom songs and maps using mods or the level editor that was added with the 1.0 launch version. Developer Beat Games has committed to providing both more original music and tracks from big-name artists, some of which will be free and some as paid DLC, but it’s currently the biggest limitation if you’re playing on PlayStation VR or Oculus Quest. There, the only expansion option is the $13 Monstercat Music Pack Vol 1, which contains another 10 tracks. While playing through a track is mechanically straightforward, there’s a significant amount of nuance to it that makes replaying them to chase higher scores fun and challenging.

On a basic level, it’s about hitting the right block with the right saber in the right direction. The incoming blocks are color-coded to your sabers, most of the time you’ll be hitting red blocks on the left and blue blocks on the right – sometimes in symmetrical patterns, others in asymmetrical patterns that create a challenge of coordination that feels like patting your head with one hand while rubbing your belly with the other. Some songs like to embed a single blue block on the left side during a flurry of reds (or vice versa) to throw you off. That sounds simple to deal with, but when the pace picks up it’s surprisingly easy to miss – and when you miss once it’s hard not to miss some more before you recover your composure. On Normal or Easy modes it’s a breeze to blow through a course, but on Hard and above things really heat up to challenge you. A torrent of blocks will come at you so fast that you need to be looking two blocks down the line from the ones you’re actually swinging at to keep up and plan for where your swords will need to be in order to hit them with the correct directional swing. Most of the time sequences are designed to help you out with this by following an up with a down or a left with a right so that you naturally can swing one way and then the other.

The meaner ones will do the same direction repeatedly, forcing you to swing and then quickly swing back to reset for the next block. You’ll also see rapid-fire sequences of up-down-up-down-up-down, forcing a drummer-like movement where if you miss one you’ll miss them all. Or they’ll follow one cross-swing with another so that if you overcommit in one direction it’s tough to swing back the other way. It has a few minor flaws, but our biggest problem with Beat Saber is that it reminds us how badly Star Wars has been served by video games in the last decade or so. Things seem worse than ever under EA but somehow we also managed to go through the entire Wii era without a decent lightsabre game. If nothing else, Beat Saber proves just how much of a missed opportunity that was – even though as a game it doesn’t actually have anything to do with Star Wars. Beat Saber is a rhythm action game. We’d say that the idea of doing a Star Wars music game is a low not Lucasfilm would never stoop to, but sadly it’s already happened. But thankfully Beat Saber is nothing like Kinect Star Wars’ dance game and instead the basics are very similar to Harmonix games such as Frequency and Guitar Hero.

Feel the Rhythm.

Icons representing beats of the music move towards you and you have to hit them correctly to keep the rhythm going. The difference is that the icons are neon-coloured boxes that are flying towards you in a first person view, and instead of pressing a button or twanging a plastic guitar you’re using a Move controller to hack and slash with a lightsabre in both hands. If you’ve played the superb Thumper you’ll already know just how well music games can benefit from VR. Usually the presentation in these games is purely functional but playing them in VR really helps to focus your mind and create a sense of immersion that goes far beyond the normal 3D vision of the headset. Beat Saber doesn’t have the visual spectacle of Thumper but its Tron-like art style is still attractive enough considering how abstract an experience it all is. The reason you’re holding two lightsabres is that one is red and one is blue, and the boxes are colour-coded to indicate which ones should be hit with which sword. Most boxes also have symbols on them indicating in which direction they should be hit – slashing left or right or thrusting up or down. Batora: Lost Haven

Often you have to hit two different colours at the same but in different ways, which seems like it should be as difficult as patting your head and rubbing your stomach but somehow becomes second nature almost instantly. There are other complications too, the most problematic being walls that rush towards you and which you have to physically side-step or duck under. And it’s not just a perfunctory inch or two either, you really have to move some distance to get it right. So if you’re used to pooh-poohing the warning about making sure there aren’t any breakable objects nearby we’d take proper caution with this game. Especially as more than once we ended up stepping on the cable coming out the back of the headset. As you might imagine there are multiple different difficulty levels and a combo meter that you’re always desperate not to break, so that you get the highest score possible. The game also likes to try and trip you up with boxes whose arrows change directions or bombs which you absolutely shouldn’t try to hit. When virtual reality became a real product we could have in our homes, the platform promised the potential of lush, engaging, and fully realized worlds.

We’re still working toward that future, but while we’re waiting, Beat Saber offers one of virtual reality’s best experiences. It doesn’t create a new world to explore; instead Beat Saber focuses on placing you in a song and giving you the tools to participate in its rhythms in ways that traditional music games can’t. In Beat Saber you use two light swords (one blue and one red), and you swing them using Move controllers. Red and blue blocks fly toward you, indicating which saber you should use to hit them. Along with being color coded, the blocks also have arrows dictating the direction of your chop. A blue block flying at you on your right with an arrow pointing north requires you to attack it from the bottom swiping upward. A red block coming from the left with an westward pointing arrow requires you to swipe through it from right to left. These blocks fly at you in time with the music booming in your ears, and when you find the rhythm and take down each block, you feel like you’re conducting a violent symphony. It’s beautiful.

A clinical description of how the gameplay works really doesn’t do it justice. Wielding lightsabers to destroy blocks as the music and light show fully envelops you lets you focus on the task at hand with extreme precision. The music and visuals fully take over your peripherals, engrossing you and making you feel the music. It wasn’t long before I was slashing blocks based purely on the rhythm, embracing the choreography of each song and focusing less on the arrows on the blocks. It makes the experience a fantastic showcase for the platform and genuinely feels like something that wouldn’t work outside of a headset. With driving beats and dance-worthy intensity, every song is enjoyable and perfect for the style of gameplay Beat Saber offers. However, compared to other rhythm and music games, the diversity isn’t there. The original soundtrack (no licensed songs here) stays rooted in techno-centric beats, and there are only 16 so you end up playing the same songs a lot. Despite the repeated songs, the gameplay doesn’t grow stale. Early on, you simply grasp for high scores, but you eventually encounter tasks like completing a song without making wide arm movements, or missing a specific number of blocks without failing.

The campaign also offers a deep challenge, dipping into the extreme difficulties before showing you the finish line. Even if you’ve been playing Beat Saber for months in early access on Vive and Rift, the campaign offers a worthwhile and enjoyable challenge. ou have an assortment of options for tackling songs outside of the campaign. You can do no-fail mode (helpful for learning the more difficult songs), play without arrows on the blocks, or play with single-color blocks. You can also elect to turn on modifiers for score boosts, like playing a song at double speed or making the arrows disappear from the blocks right before you swipe through them. I liked all these modifiers and how they added gameplay variety, which is important considering the small track list. Beat Saber is a must-play for anyone interested in virtual reality, but not for the reasons we typically associate with the platform. It won’t make you crane your neck to take in the majesty of your surroundings, but Beat Saber uses VR to place you into the music and taps into your carnal desire to hit things with swords. Years into its life, the gaming public is still unsure of this new way to play video games, but Beat Saber has the potential to convince skeptics to take another look. General Practitioner
