About the game

OhShape is an iconic rhythm VR game where players dance with their full body to go through, punch, and dodge walls following the beat of the music. Enjoy this immersive game for all types of players, inspired by the Japanese TV show Hole in the Wall.

The value story

Across all 33 discounts in the 7 years tracked, the median cut is 30 percent, about 10 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 68 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Synth Riders ($24.99, scores 54) and Beat Saber ($19.99, scores 95) both outscore it.

More about OhShape

What players say

Confession: I hate to get up out of my comfy office chair but this game made me do it. I really got obsessed once I started playing this game and the DLCs are even better. I play with the accuracy all the way down and small room on and just have fun. Works perfect on Index.

1. I can't understand why people saying OhShape is copy of Beat Saber. Is it just because they are both rhythm games? So every rhythm game is just copy of Beat Saber... Beat Saber only makes you to swing your arms but OhShape makes you to move your body. Playing 10 minutes of Beat Saber is equal to playing 1 minute of OhShape(that's what my mi band says). *Don't play with small room mode if possible, that cuts half...

To preface, I love rhythm games and the idea of a full body game is very appealing. However, I don't think the game is calibrated correctly. This is the only game I have ever considered refunding. I spent around an hour frustratingly trying to recreate very specific shape where I just put my hand on my hip. It failed 90% of the time with no clear reason why.
