Block Slicer


Since I’m on the topic of VR, there is a new game (new to me) that I decided to jump into since it is on the Quest. It is a game that has received much fan-fare, but this genre of game has never really been my cup of tea. I was almost turned off completely from this game, if only for the mere fact that everyone talks about it so much, but with the Quest, they offer a few Game Demos, and this was one of them.

The game is Beat Saber… maybe you’ve heard of it. So, I decided to try the demo to at least see what all the fuss is about. Fuck, what have I done now. The talk is true, this game is pretty great. I purchased the full game immediately. It’s as simple as can be in concept, but the combination of the music, the controls, the light sabers and everything else, I am now addicted. Damnit!

I have already started to incorporate Beat Saber into a morning routine to get my blood flowing and to wake me up, and so far so good. I have been following along intently to the online chatter about a mod that allows you to import your own songs and although I don’t usually mod my gear, am considering it just for this reason, and I feel I’ve barely scratched the surface. I just got into some of the levels in campaign mode that you can only make one mistake, and after a couple tries, haven’t been able to get past it yet… but I will, oh believe me, I will.
