    This game goes so well to the rythym of the music... you will be instantly amazed...

    Very recommended, especially with video game music.

    I don't have much to say about Audiosurf. It's a masterpiece. If you're like me, and you have a ton of music on your computer, this will provide you hours of fun!

    Dont wonder if you are going to buy Audiosurf or not. Buy it immediately. This game is very worth buying, even when it's not on sale.

    Better than the second one! Read my review of Audiosurf 2 if you'd like to read why in good detail, I did a pretty big comparison.

    Such an awesome and unique idea for a game, very addictive. Reminds me of a PC version of Guitar Hero, somewhat.
    Would definitely reccomend this one.

    This is a fun little game about concentrating on the beats of your favourite songs and creating an exciting game to play to pass the time. Although the game is very simple it is still a challenging play and there are many achievements that you could aim to get.

    Audiosurf is a fun, casual, psychedelic and unique game that potentially requires a lot of skill, depending on what mode out of the many modes provided, you select. Audiosurf takes your local music, or sometimes featured songs from their database, and creates a track dependant on the beat, tempo, rhythm and more of the song you select, creating an original experience for each and every song. There's a sequel, Audiosurf 2, which I hear is also good and has different modes and enhanced visuals. There's also Audioshield, basically the same concept for VR, except instead of avoiding, collecting or moving blocks as you do in Audiosurf, you block bubbles with the corresponding, colored shields which are controlled by the motion controls. All 3 games are a lot of fun, competitive if you're into provided leaderboards, reads most music file types and works will with almost all music genres. I recommend Audiosurf for these reasons.

    TL;DR:
    I find it unsatisfying playing a rhythm-based game where to succeed you must play off-rhythm.

    You're flying in this gorgeous, procedurally-generated visualization of your own music but instead of grooving along and dodging/weaving in time, you're asked to play this bizarre, unintuitive, and off-putting "KLAX" type game that sidelines all your attention and takes you out of the groove.

    This KLAX game means you have to actually dodge the flying music blocks that feel like you SHOULD be running into them. This creates a wholly-unsatisfying experience where listening to my own music makes me angry and stressed.

    I love it. Always come back to it. Feels like guitar hero with a mouse (99.9% of my playtime is Mono Pro or Ninja Mono). Every time I try to play Audiosurf 2 I just end up opening this game after one song. If you are trying to decide between Audiosurf 1&2 I would recommend this one 1000x more.

    One day, I decided to play my Blurryface CD in Audiosurf.

    After a good 15-20 minutes it loads HeavyDirtySoul, so I play it.

    Mmm distorted audio that buffers every two seconds

    Moral of the story: If you have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ laptop with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ CD drive, don't play directly from CD.

    I can't not recommend this game. It's a very simple idea, you have to hit coloured blocks and avoid the grey ones which spawn in levels generated by the tempo & volume & beat of whatever song you like! Despite it's very simple concept it's really fun and addictive just trying to beat other people's highscores at your favourite songs as different characters with different abilities.

    You can chill out with a slow-paced song or test your reaction time and accuracy with a mouse, keyboard or a controller with some upbeat music!

    10/10 would most definitely recommend this game!

    This game is the most colorful game i've ever played and it's really fast pased but if you like music games also than I'd say it's worth the money to buy this game (I did get this game during the winter sale for 2015)


    I'd give this game a rating of 10/10 :D

    Very fun and addictive game. Analyzes audio very well from what I played and it's perfect for dynamic high tempo hip-hop or electronic songs.

    I liked this game until it stopped working. Now I don't.

    Veryfying doesn't help.
    Reinstalling doesn't help.

    Now I have to watch the foobar visualiser instead.

    Addictive fun in which you can ride all of your completely legal and totally non-pirated music for hours at a time.

    10/10
