LOUD: My Road to Fame

親しみやすいリズムゲームだった。 曲はオルタナ時々メタル。 スマパンやキュアーが好きなら楽しめると思う…。 難しいメタル曲もあるけど、 がんばってクライマックスまでたどり着くとギターソロで気持ちよくなれるバランスが良かった。 DLCも良かったです。

I enjoyed this game, the mechanics feel really distinct from other rhythm games. I thought the soundtrack was really solid for the most part. The achievement for passing all main story songs on Skillin' difficulty without missing wasn't as bad as I thought it might be, especially because I had been trying to complete all of the songs on Grindin' difficulty for that achievement. I think it's best to do it that way so that when you go back to Skillin', it seems easier. I do feel like different songs might have different calibrations or maybe I just never got mine feeling quite right. At the same time, some notes seem a little off. The game would really benefit from having some kind of practice mode, or being able to change the speed of the notes because they can get really jumbled together and it can take a lot of trial and error guesswork just to hit a pattern right. This was especially true for me on the song "Don't Grow Up" because I had played the first four entire minutes of the song, usually missing anywhere from 0-3 notes, and I would fail at that next section because I was finding it hard to grasp. It was really unfun spending all that time just waiting to fail because the only way I could practice that part was to just keep playing almost the entire song. "I'll Let You Go" took me a lot of attempts to pass as well, it might have been the worst song when it came to using all of the lanes really quickly and trying to decipher which note comes first. I think this game would be preferable to be played on a controller that has separate buttons for the d-pad and not one like the Xbox's that is all connected and kind of "rolls". It can be easy to make some inputs on accident. There's a short story in between songs, but it doesn't really take up much time. It's charming but not really that engaging. There is some outfit, instrument and stage customizations, not a lot to it though. I preferred the Festival stage because it seemed to clash the least with the note tracks. Overall, it's a really nice looking game and I'm glad I got it during Steam's rhythm game sale.
