The value story
64 discounts in the 8 years on record, a median of 60 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 82 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Neon Drive ($9.99, scores 52) and Synth Riders ($24.99, scores 54) both outscore it.
More about Groove Coaster
The press liked it more than its buyers did, 78 against 67 percent.
17 of the 547 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,362 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 205 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. Inside the two-hour refund window, 53 percent of the 429 reviews written there were positive, against 67 percent overall, and those are 30 percent of everything written about it.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 0.2 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say
Half baked port with an even more half baked song selection. I'd say go play the arcade or mobile versions but Squenix killed them both ;(

please do not buy this, get the switch version of groove coaster. the newest one has a Teto DLC please taito corp port those games over to PC
All things considered GC is an amazing game, but if you want the best game get yourself wai wai party via any means necessary as the version of the game here on Steam is long abandoned even though it still gets hit with sales. Otherwise if you don't care to get Wai Wai Party snag this version and its dlc of choice during a sale
