Early Access Review
I hate writing negative reviews for this game but here we go.

- As far as I can tell some of the DLCs are free on Steam, with extra exclusive content not available on PS4. So Fxxking over existing customers by selling your game at 1/6 the price on a new platform is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
- Now let's talk about their anticheat, "XIGNCODE3", which is plain cancer, the anti-cheat program is loaded over the internet, their distribution network sucks bytedance d1ck so you got a loading screen that takes forever and as a bonus point your whole system is frozen during this process. Also, why the F_U_C_K a rhythm game would need an AntiCheat that loads code into kernel space?
- Possibly due to some weak attempt at anti-piracy DRM mechanism, the sheet data of each song is loaded over the web, what that means is that if neowiz someday decides to shutdown the server like it did with DJMax Technika Q, you can say bye-bye to your expensive (likely over 200$ by that time due to the DLCs) collection

- The game lacks a bunch of content when compared to its PS4 counterpart. I mean sure Air mode is kinda cool, but where are the other missing game modes?


Overall, it's pretty hard for me to recommend this game over its PS4 counterpart except the price, and judging by the current look of it some of the aspects that I hate is likely never gonna change. Hell, TapSonic Bold was surprising comeback for me, I do sincerely wish this is the same for Respect V. Although given the greedy history of Neowiz who tried their absolutely best to squeeze out any remaining value of this IP, I highly doubt that this would be the case
