Groove Coaster

95 Hours played

NOTE: At the time of review, I have only played on a keyboard, and can therefore not speak on how it plays with a Groove Coaster controller.

Groove Coaster is a pretty neat rhythm game that has a surprising level of depth to it, but suffers from bad design choices and poor performance.

The game is very read-heavy in comparison to most VSRGs, which made it a very fresh experience for me as I'm predominantly a VSRG player. The read-heavy aspect comes from three factors, that the scrolling notes aren't on a static plane, that input requirements are implied by different note shapes rather than note-location and the very flashy visualizers that come with every song.

This read-heavy gameplay did result in me feeling cheated from time to time, either because of the occasional difficulty in reading crit notes due to them changing colour, or notes blending in with the background visualizer. This is quite frustrating, but it occurs so infrequently that I don't find it to be a major issue.

The base game comes with over 50 tracks that include three to four difficulties each. If you play other p2p rhythm games this will sound like quite a lot, but for people that play games like Etterna or Osu! this may be a point of contention, as the game features no custom track support. Groove Coaster does however offer DLC tracks, which are quite sore on the wallet with a total price of 163,77 EUR.

The difficulty system is annoying. Like in many other p2p rhythm games, harder difficulties are locked behind passing the previous one which takes a lot of time. After having played a good 40 tracks, I found myself bored playing SIMPLE difficulties again and again in order to unlock harder difficulties.

The UI is terrible and unresponsive. Sometimes the menu doesn't register inputs, and frankly, the menu is confusing to navigate. There are close to zero ways to filter the song list, which is annoying when playing new tracks as you have to scroll through a bunch of tracks you've already completed, not to mention that finding a specific track can take tremendous effort. If you buy DLC tracks you will have to enjoy looking for them. The DLC tracks are a the top of the list, but if you already have a few you might have drawn a bad card by purchasing a track that sits in the middle of the DLC tracks you already own, causing you to have to search for it manually in order to play your most recent purchase. Whoever designed this UI should be fired.

The track-list is not the best. Most of it is the japanese EDM music that any avid rhythm game player will have heard for years. A few Xi tracks, a couple of t+pazolite tracks, and if you get the DLC there is a lot, and I mean A LOT, of Touhou music. Once the intrigue from seeing how different mechanics can spin the tracks I have already heard for hours on end in other rhythm games wore off, it became quite stale.

For the competitive Rhythm game players, the Leaderboards are a joke. for some unknown reason each track, not difficulty, has a leaderboard, where you get ranked with your total score across all difficulties of the track. This makes no sense to me as it forces competitive players to go for the best score on the lowest difficulties, rather than being fine with the clear in order to play the difficulty they originally wanted to play.

Now, lets talk about GC. GC is the currency that you get when completing charts. They can be used in an in-game shop, in which you can buy four tracks (idk why they were locked behind this artificial paywall), avatars and most notably, powerups. Powerups are consumable items that last for one chart. Some of them increase the difficulty of the chart akin to mods in Osu!, some don't affect gameplay, but the worst onese imo are the ones that help the player. One example of this is the powerup that will convert ten misses into GOOD judgements. These powerups are leaderboard legal, and frankly, it turns the already idiotic leaderboard system into a joke. Being able to grind for better scores without increasing in skill level is something that should not exist in a rhythm game imo.

All in all, I enjoy messing around in the game, and I do get some sense of nostalgia from the old rhythm game tracks whenever I jump into the game, however, I could never see myself recommending the game to anyone that is looking for a substantial rhythm game experience. The game is fun and quirky at times, but frustrating and annoying otherwise. Buy this at your own discretion lmao
