I've been seeing Beat Saber videos on youtube since this game came out. In my mind that this game looks like fun. After getting the Quest 3. This was the second game I tried and boy it did not dissapoint. In Beat Saber you control two light sabers and hit blocks in a direction of the beat of the music. The game requires fast reflexes and skills in order to complete a stage.

First of all, I love the songs. The songs have a lot of vareity ranging from pop, sync beats, jazz. Everything is caerfully curated to give you the best Beat Saber experince. The game gives you multiple modes such as Easy to Expert+. Other modes includes One Saber, No Arrow cubes and my favorite 360 (where the cubes will come from all angles) The best part of beat saber for me is when you reach the zen mode you can hit the cubes with precesion to get your combo meter to go up. This game is really a workout, playing it on hard makes your heart rate increase to around 160 beats per mintue. The suddent burst of adreneline is a good way to keep your blood pumping. There is also other songs (or packs) from different artist like Lady Gaga, Billie Elilsh, BTS, Linkin Park and more. They provide you with a different set of challenges that is not in the base game. I like the Daft Punk song which is 10 minutes long. That is a complete workout on its own. 

The only thing I say it a problem in this game is the campaign mode. You need to complete the challenges in order to proceed. The problem is that the challenges gets progessively harder each time. I also think it is my age where my limit is a 3 seconds speed. Anything more than that my reflexes gets a little slow and I usually fail the course. This mean that I can't complete teh campaign after level 24 since its on expert and it is getting too frustrating. 

So what does that mean. That means this game is great without the campaign. You can play every songs and you try to get the best score. in my opinion 30 mins a day is good enough to burn a couple calories. This is one of my games of the year. I give this game an S-Rank
