Garage Drummer VR

This is for the person who already knows a basic beat and just wants to hit things in a beach garage at 2am without a neighbor complaint. Everyone else should walk away, because there is no tutorial, no track list, no score counter, and nothing telling you whether what you just played was any good. Blazing Tree Studio built a room-scale kit and a place to put it, and that is genuinely the whole pitch. In its best moments it works: the sticks track well enough that you stop thinking about the controllers, the kit sits where your arms expect it to, and the setting is calm rather than distracting. As a physical toy for warming up or messing around, it delivers a specific small thing competently. The problem is everything around that. It launched into Early Access in 2016 and the content never really grew past free-play, which is why the Steam reviews sit split down the middle. There is no progression, no backing tracks to play along with, no reason to load it a second week. Real drummers will notice the missing feel of a rebounding head, and beginners get no guidance at all. Treat it as a sandbox instrument, not a game, and you will be less annoyed.
