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.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Visually, the game is stunning — neon vector graphics, dynamic lighting, and particle effects run at locked 60 FPS (or higher with V-Sync off) even on mid-range hardware.

No stuttering, excellent optimization, and full Steam Deck support with native controller profiles.
