AudioSurf Reviews

when you dont wanna drink and drive this game fits the shoe

It's an older game, sir. But it checks out.

frutiger aero game like visualizer hybrid. I know that seems like a mouthful, but I highly recommend this blast from the past!

Yeah whatever. Can't help thinking it's just like someone paying for a fancy Winamp visualisation. But if that's your bag. As someone who doesn't use spotify or whatever, and has always had a folder of all my music on my secondary drive since the 1990's even, I have no issues with lack of features.

played the demo a fuck ton on my old laptop, and this game was one of the first games I ever bought on Steam slow songs aren't the best on this, made for EDM and adjacent music and it shows but damn did it feel good to play Casiopea (especially Sailing Alone!!) Still Alive, and a song by Midori that nearly broke my speakers on this thing I wish the leaderboards were still up, but those seem to have been down for a while? Leaderboards or no, this game is still fun. PLAY IT!!!

It's an innovative music game resembling a fancy visualizer. Initially fun, but sudden interface crashes make long-term play unreliable.

This game is such an evergreen concept of importing songs to create rhythm game tracks. I played this religiously as a teen on another account. This is the millennial's version of beat saber on the heels of Guitar Hero popularity at the time. An OG rhythm game that holds up today and is still being updated! Absolutely amazing. It's still as visually mesmerizing and gets you into a flow state so fast. And for those who might find this game but were born into a generation where media ownership doesn't exist anymore and nobody has local files - If you happen to "find" some local files but have the issue of Audiosurf not recognizing the song; On Windows right click the song file > Properties, go to the Details tab and edit the file's metadata by changing the "Title" section to the song name and "Contributing Artist" to the Band/Singer name. That will help with seeing leaderboards properly. I got here by going through my list of games to see what I have/have not reviewed and ended up spending a few hours on it. Playing Megalovania by Toby Fox now is just as good as Through Fire And Flames by Dragon Force in ye yesteryear. Compared to other posts I had 0 bugs during my time playing on Windows 11. No crashes or glitches.

I think games like AudioSurf deserve an award simply for existing for us exclusively PC gamers. Allow me to clarify; I recently visited a vintage arcade hall and I have never played any music-based arcade games apart from those machines where you dance and stomp on the arrows showing on the screen. Long story short, I got instructed to try a few different games with different playing methods and while this is getting awfully off-topic now, I felt genuine joy and a bit of nostalgia despite not being familiar with many of the games there. Which is when I realized: The nostalgia was because I got transported back to my teens playing AudioSurf after school, blasting my favourite music and trying to miss the grey blocks despite often failing to do so. So yeah. That’s the review. AudioSurf may be old as rocks (like me), but it was my jam. And I recommend it wholeheartedly, not only because of the nostalgia but because the core gameplay just works; You hit a block, you hit a block. No surprise ”how on earth did that count?” etc. It just works.

i first found this game when i was young and got my own laptop. played this for many many hours. now maybe once every few months i see this in my library and play a round. its like coming back to an old friend. its exactly as it used to be. the only thing changed now is that theres barely any audio files to play left lol i have had no errors so far, really cant complain.

Old as heck game, will run on most modern PCs nowadays. Lets you combine ADHD Gaming with Podcasts.
