New PS5, PS4 Games This Week (27th February to 5th March) And most importantly, there’s no PlayStation VR support, which based on past evidence could have elevated the title to a whole other level.

Furthermore, there’s no way to listen to the soundtrack and use the beautiful presentation as a kind of party visualizer either, which seems like an obvious omission.

There’s split-screen multiplayer which is all fine and dandy, but the title would have really benefited from an endless mode mixing all of the songs together. In addition to that, the relatively samey structure of the songs means that a lot of beat patterns pose a similar challenge.īut the bigger drawback here are the things that the game doesn’t do. In our opinion, by focusing primarily on one artist the package has a kind of sonic consistency that you don’t usually get in music titles with wider variety, but if you’re not a fan of the star at the heart of it all then you’re not really going to have a good time. Of course, if you don’t like Avicii then you’re going to be bang out of luck, and that’s the gamble that Hello There has taken. There’s a reason songs like Wake Me Up have topped the charts around the globe, and there’s not one dud on the soundtrack as far as we’re concerned.

While our receding hairline makes us feel more like the man from the Levels video than the hot young 20-somethings the music is intended for, we’d be lying if we said it wasn’t a guilty pleasure. The aesthetic, all glitter and firework displays, matches the music nicely – and it simply looks cool on the screen.Īs for the setlist, well it’s sweeter than an alchopop shitmix stirred with sugar canes. Ultimately, the title’s more about spacing out, imagining you’re sweaty and shirtless at a Swedish house party, punching the air while someone spills WKD down your skinny jeans. There are multiple difficulty tiers and these do increase the complexity of the gameplay, but it never really reaches DragonForce on Guitar Hero levels of challenge.
