[h2]Mechanically unsatisying[/h2] Awful note detection, also the patterns feel like they are in no way connected to the music. Very repetetive gameplay loop with a couple of questionable design choices that not only encourage, but downright necessitate mindless grinding thanks to the needless inclusion of RNG. [h2]Youthspeak[/h2] The writing feels somewhat juvenile and too forced with all the "hip" vibe, although with my limited playtime I can't say for sure how it unfolds later in the game. As for the voice acting, for a game as focused on sound as this one claims to be, the quality of recording itself as well as it's mixing is terrible. [h2]Beep boop[/h2] I have a soft spot for Ronald Jenkees' music, but do yourself a favour and just listen to it on it's own. No need to suffer through the gameplay loop for it.
