Those screams you hear at the end? That's the screams of your family realizing they raised a degenerate who loves Pineapple on Pizza.

Good game tho.

Short and Sweet. Very cozy. A Must try for rhythm game fans.

IMPORTANT EDIT: Update 1.01 does NOTHING to fix the random lag spikes that occur during songs, so my review will stay as a negative for now.
Come on SEGA, get it together.


I hate that I have to write a negative review, but I have to voice my frustration.

My PC is well beyond the specs needed to play a game like this, (My PC has no trouble running Witcher 3 at near max settings) but this game stutters and lags on nearly every single song to the point where sometimes it causes me to completely fail that song, due to the fact the game freezes and makes it so I can't input anything for up to 3 seconds.

I have a feeling the culprit is Denuvo. So until the time the game is patched to fix this issue, or even if some saint mods the game to fix this issue, I have to give this release a negative review.

The game is FANTASTIC, don't get me wrong. I have been playing Project Diva since the PS3 era, and it is a top tier rhythm game, so I really hope SEGA fixes this.

EDIT: After playing for a bit more, I have noticed that the lag spikes also occur in the menus themselves, and not just during gameplay. Also, the lags I experience in the menus last seemingly the same amount of time and occur at the same regularity as the lags during gameplay.

EDIT 2: Seemingly, putting my PC into airplane mode removes the lag spikes completely. I was able to play issue free for about 2 hours.

So nice I read it twice.
