Mostly, I love this game.

This game is incredible exercise. First I had to move past my simulator sickness (which is less in VR than it is in first-person games through the monitor). I could only play two or three songs at first before the headache would start coming on. So I played three songs a day for a week, then I was up to four songs for another week, and then the simulator sickness was gone. That's much faster than how long it takes me to adjust to a first-person MMO on my usual desktop, so I was pleased and amazed at the short adjustment period. Then, from there, I started playing until I was sweating and exhausted, and my arms are sore the next day after playing. Amazing! It's usually hard to motivate me to exercise, so I'm impressed.

My primary complaints with the game are honestly just issues with VR technology itself. My sabers glitch often, and I've had to keep my humidity lower than is optimal for my lung health. Low humidity improves the issues, but doesn't eliminate them. The headset seems sensitive to where it is plugged in. So I factor in about three misses due to glitching with each song.

One actual complaint with the game is that there is obviously no way to switch between steamaccounts every time you want to swap headsets with a friend or husband who wants to play, so our scores are all mixed together. For a single day there was this weird change where you put in your name after every song and I kinda liked that, but it went away again just as mysteriously as it showed up.

I have DDR/StepMania too, and I have to say that BeatSaber feels much more natural. (Also, the jumps in StepMania are killer on the knees -- so unnatural and strange.) Also, I tried SnythRiders briefly, but it didn't have *any* music I could even tolerate. Whereas I love the music in BeatSaber (for the most part), especially the original few songs it came with. Slashing cubes goes really well with angry music, so some of the DLC Linkin Park songs are a perfect fit. But it also goes amazingly with empowering music, so I love the Unlimited Power track for that.
