How it feels
A relentless, stylishly gritty rhythmic shooter where you flow through crime-ridden streets, dodging and attacking in time with pounding music.

What players say
Players praise the physics-based VR combat and stylish music integration early on, but nearly all agree the game was abandoned in early access. Rhythm stops syncing a few levels in, and the story only lasts 1-2 hours. Joy Way is widely accused of dodging Steam's abandoned-game warnings by pushing an unfinished build to full release without any final update.
