Chop It

Very fun game. Especially compared to other rhythm games that are 2x or 3x price. I have tons of games that I've put dozens of hours into and never reviewed or gave a thumbs down. I'm recommending this game with less than 30 minutes of play time. That says something about Chop it! I'm actually ashamed that I haven't played it more. It's got everything that gamers want. 1) Simple to learn but skill based mechanics. 2) Cool aesthetics. 3) Developer that listens to feedback. 4) Auto generated beatmaps and a built in beat editor unlike other VR rhythm games. 5) Cheap price. 6) Funny developer. 7)) No ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Youtube personality promoters.

Chop It is a fresh take on the VR rythm genre. It is distinguished by its style (Eastern Dojo with 'Fro Sensei), and by how you play (chopping through wood blocks and punching through cinderblocks that can be thrown towards 11 destination all in front of you). It has a small campaign to play through. Unfortunately, part of the campaign I don't like is having to turn when playing medium and hard difficulties. Turning is unwieldy due to wire management, and how when you turn, you may find yourself no longer in the position to hit the blocks easily and will have to adjust your position again to do so. The game doesn't allow you to turn this off in the options. The part of this game that makes it superior to others in the market is its custom beat mapper. You can use a browser based beat mapper that is very intuitive and quite easy to use. You simply tap notes in as the song plays. The custom beatmapper lets you slow down the track to really get accurate with your tapping. And then you can edit the notes after you tap them in. This allows for beatmaps on tracks that have variable tempos, which is something competitors still can't quite do (or if they claim they can, it's often difficult and convoluted). So if you're like me and you want to create some fun rythm maps for your own original tunes or for whatever you have, then I would recommend giving this game and its beat mapper a try.
