Maestro is the best pure rhythm game with a relatively small track list which is played on Meta Quest 3 VR headset.
The game puts you in the shoes of a maestro of an orchestra using hand-based baton for keeping the rhythm and left hand queues for different sections of the orchestra.
Playing on hard mode offers a good time for those seeking a challenge, as well as for those watching the player in the real world frantically waving and pointing.
The game's greatest strength is its complexity of conducting the whole orchestra instead of playing just one instrument which makes it beneficial in the strict lens of mechanics.
Maestro has great immersion and elegance in a way that many VR titles and games in general can't achieve.
The game's greatest weakness is the complexity it uses as a conceit to delightfully vary its core mechanics, which renders the natural locking of humans into a specific part difficult.
Maestro's immersive hand tracking is as good as it gets for Meta Quest 3 VR headset, allowing players to possess good control over their digital fingers while playing the game.
The game is an absolute must-buy for classical music lovers and stands out as a leap in VR rhythm gaming, which is polished, immersive, unique, and most importantly, fun.
Maestro comes with clean graphics, excellent lighting, beautiful particle effects, interactable objects, and solid voice acting.
The character models in the game are the only presentational gripes, with uncanniness that distracts from immersion, which wouldn't have been out of place to stylize the characters to match their cheeky tone.
