The tracking, resolution and frame rate all seem solid. I like the concept of attacking something other than cubes or circles in a VR rhythm game but unfortunately the "enemies" may as well just be cubes or circles. The game play is very much beat saber like but you need to attack with the blades in the correct orientation (direction doesn't matter like in beat saber) so it can be a bit weird to transition between enemies smoothly. The levels don't feel very well thought out. Beat saber makes me feel like a drumming jedi. Synth Ryders makes me feel like Im just really grooving (even though I'm sure I look dumb in reality) but this game just makes me feel frustrated. The campaign is appreciated and ramps up well for newbies but if you are any good at BS like I am you can probably blow through the whole thing in about an hour and a lot of that time is watching the cut scenes. If you just really want to play something beatsaber like with a different coat of paint and some varried metal songs you've never heard of a good time can be had but it's hard to recommend it over an awful lot of other better games. I think too much focus was placed on the concept and not enough on making the actual gameplay innovative or fun.

God of Riffs: Battle for the Metalverse is a rhythm game that leans heavily into its hard rock and metal identity, and that focus will absolutely click with the right audience. If you already love the genre, the music alone can carry a lot of the experience, even when the gameplay itself feels fairly straightforward. One standout is the story mode, which is still a rarity in music rhythm games. Having a narrative thread, even a simple one, adds motivation beyond chasing high scores. Each background location is visually distinct, so the campaign never feels like you’re replaying the same stage with a new track slapped on top. That variety goes a long way in keeping things fresh. Accessibility is also handled well. The game supports seated play, which is always appreciated on PSVR2, and includes colorblind options, making it more welcoming to a wider audience. Arcade mode gives players clear difficulty choices from easy to hard, so newcomers and rhythm veterans alike can find a comfortable groove. That said, the gameplay variety is a bit limited. Enemy and note design mostly comes down to skeletons and flying skulls, and while the skeletons do get costume changes tied to different tracks, it doesn’t fully mask the repetition over longer sessions. You’ll be doing the same core interactions a lot, just to different songs. The biggest hesitation is value per dollar. What’s here is fun and competently made, but the content doesn’t quite justify the price point at full cost. This is very much a “catch it on sale” recommendation rather than an instant buy. Overall, God of Riffs: Battle for the Metalverse earns a generous four stars for its music, story mode ambition, and accessibility features, even if the underlying gameplay depth lands closer to a three-star experience. Metal fans will have a great time. Just maybe wait for a discount before entering the Metalverse. 🤘
