Reception
The game received mostly positive reviews from critics. On the review aggregator MetaCritic,[3] the game received a score of 86. IGN wrote of the game:
A good session with Beat Saber literally leaves me breathless. When I’m in the groove, swinging red and blue sabers to precisely bisect an onslaught of incoming boxes as fast as I can might be as close to the feeling of being a Jedi at a rave as I’ll ever come. This challenging rhythm game is definitely a little light on tracks out of the box, but what’s there is both catchy and highly replayable due to the way its scoring system encourages pinpoint accuracy and followthrough, plus a handful of alternate modes to play them on.
On June 12th, 2018, YouTuber ragesaq published a Let's Play video on the game. The post received more than 11.8 million views in less than two years (shown below, left).
