The team is committed to bring more music to the game though and, should it find its footing, we’d love to see some more popular options. Granted the 20-strong tracklist is decidedly enthusiast, with only a few names I can recognize and a handful of which are made by the developer itself. It’s just a shame that the game’s co-op options couldn’t make the console version, though (Survios says it could add support if there’s enough demand). The app’s bright and bold colors produce a striking visual style that shines even on PSVR, and Survios’ algorithm for replicating the movement of your arms inside VR is probably the best I’ve seen so far. It’s also down to the simple fact that Electronauts is one of the slickest, best-polished VR experiences released on VR headsets this year. Though it may grab the attention of enthusiasts, everything is designed to work with as little friction as possible, and it’s one of the app’s strongest points. Need to record your creations to put them on a loop? Simply hold down a dedicated button and your next actions will be memorized and repeated. The position of your marker provides different results, and you can find the desired effect simply by sliding your controller around. Want to add glitches into a track? Pull up the FX cube and wave your wand around inside. Rather than teaching you the technicalities of hundreds of different features, Survios often finds the simplest means of doing the most complex things. Orbs were struck with drumsticks to produce groovy beats, grenades were tossed to explode with psychedelic audio effects and vocals were swapped around and skipped, and yet none of it ever felt like I was an amateur playing in a world I couldn’t get to grips with.
I don’t even have the slightest hint of an idea of how to arrange track on a computer, but after a five minute tutorial in Electronauts I became a music god, a lord of the beats that could do no wrong.
