Beatable
Critic Reviews for Beatable
While on the face of it Beatable looks like just another Beat Saber pretender, this table-slapping experience offers enough of its own mechanics to stand on its own two feet. Sometimes it is nice to have an experience in VR that is a bit more chilled than a calorie-burning dance workout and Beatable offers that, with the ability to sit down at any table and still enjoy the game. At £7.99 it is also on the cheaper end of VR titles and offers hours of fun learning the two-dozen tracks and their multiple difficulties. While it would have been nice to have a few more instantly recognisable songs to bop along to, the selection across a wide range of genres still provides a lot of variety, there is always the potential for more music on the horizon, and the custom song creation from users will also increase.
So, where does this all leave Beatable, then? Well, it’s a great addition to the VR game library and one that I will continue to play. I just hope that XR Games keeps expanding the song library. Beatable receives the Thumb Culture Gold Award.
Beatable brings a creative, enjoyable experience to the table best enjoyed with friends. Being able to use your desk or a table as a controller really gives you a chance to feel like you're physically doing something. XR Games has done an excellent job at producing an interactive rhythm game in a landscape of many giants.
