What you walk away with is a unique and wonderful rhythm title that’s been improved in nearly every way.

It's not quite the game I bought back then, but for me the VR rhythm game just got better. Especially thanks to active support with updates and new DLC packs, Synth Riders is for me the best VR rhythm game experience on PSVR2.

While obviously not as immersive as its VR incarnation, the variety of tracks and generally fun vibe still work in its favor

A bright and fun song that makes you feel like you're in a Barbie-themed music video.

Synth Riders is a must for anyone that is a fan of rhythm games. Immersive, beautiful, really fun gameplay, and best of all, a great collection of tracks! A rhythm game to rival and tide you over while waiting for Beat Saber for PSVR2.

Not as good as Beat Saber gameplay-wise, but with a really good songlist and nice level visuals.

Everyone knows how much I love PSVR. It may be a bit outdated now but it is still a very enjoyable experience. The Move controllers are now three generations old but still, it was a great, affordable entry point to quality VR gaming. I used to write a monthly PSVR column and I really miss it. Anyway, enough of the pointless rambling, let’s talk about my Synth Riders PSVR review.

Synth Riders makes a great complimentary music rhythm game to Beat Saber. Beat Saber is a great outlet for aggression and feeding your inner Jedi. Synth Riders lets you sync with the music and release your inner creativity. Both are excellent forms of physical exercise. I’ll give Synth Rider the nod, though, for more options and subjectively better music. Plus, the original Star Trek Photon Torpedo sound effect used for combo leveling up never gets old.
