Review: Having seen the trailer early on I really wasn’t expecting a lot from ‘BOX THE BEAT VR’ and to be fair I was on point this time. I can look past the lack of songs and the terrible graphics, but when it comes to the gameplay there simply isn’t any. I really don’t think ANY beat-mapping has been done making the gameplay and the music feel like two separate things. It’s so fake to play you are better off turning the volume all the way down and listening to Spotify rather than the in-game music. But that little niggle pails in comparison to the bonkers asking price. Full price is £13.99 and let me promise you, it isn’t worth 5% of that price. This game needs some serious work or a 95% price drop before I could even consider recommending it.
