Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
This game has many good things like the music, interface and gameplay, which despite being a classic VSRG (Like DJ Max and such) the 5K/7K gimmick feel fresh and make some beatmaps more dinamyc, but the game fails to properly teach you how to play on the highests difficulties, in many beatmaps there is a huge gap between Super Nova and Quasar, in Quasar difficulty the beatmaps will throw you many hard patters that you don't normally or never see in the difficulties that are below, making learning the new patterns and get used to them even harder.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
(Don't tell me that you can get more by playing multiplayer mode; it's dead, and I'm too lazy to find people online to coordinate getting into matches)

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Combined with polished visuals, a steadily expanding soundtrack, and thoughtful customization options, the game stands as a compelling entry in the PC rhythm scene.
