Description: Music Escape is an action-packed rhythm-combat virtual reality game with ninjas, cyberpunk weapons, and suicidal exploding robots! Experience melee combat to the beat of your favourite soundtrack. Featuring advanced haptics and stylized visuals, the all-new scoring system generously rewards those that can keep an absurdly long hit streak going. Enjoy our curated electronic soundtrack or bring your own library; either way, this game is easy to pick up, but hard to master.
Review: It has to be said ‘Music Escape’ is probably the cutest music/rhythm game you will ever play with the hit-notes being robotic teddybears! But sadly this is not cutsey Beat Saber, as per usual with this style of game it is a fail at the most fundamental levels. Graphically the game looks good, but the gameplay is where it all falls apart. The beat-notes and the music are two separate entities leaving the gameplay feeling empty and pointless. While many will also hate the song selections I liked a few of them at least (sadly there are only 7 anyway). If you ask me paying £7.19 for this would be a joke, but if you got it for mere pennies in a cheap bundle with many other games you might enjoy it way more than I did.
