Hatsune Miku Project Diva Megamix+ Review - The Perfect Encore

thegamer.com:

I like to think I’m not that bad when it comes to rhythm games, yet I find myself quickly overwhelmed whenever I play one. Was I always this bad? Am I just getting old? I’ve come to the conclusion that rhythm game skills are something you need to keep polished. When you play a rhythm game for hours or days on end, you hit that sweet spot where you feel unbeatable. However, if you don’t play them too often, your skills become somewhat tarnished. That’s where I found myself when I played Hatsune Miku Project Diva Megamix+, in definite need of a bit of polish.

Hatsune Miku Project Diva Megamix+ is an expanded version of Project DIVA Mega Mix launched for Nintendo Switch in 2020. Understandably, the Mix Mode that took advantage of the Joy-Con’s motion controls is gone, but let’s face it, this was a worthwhile sacrifice to have the series finally debut on PC.

This new version improves on the original by boasting over 170 songs in the base game and has also expanded the range of unlockable cosmetic items to over 500 hairstyles, modules, and accessories. Are you even playing this right if you’re not having fun dressing up Hatsune Miku and her friends in stunningly beautiful or atrociously ridiculous outfits? However, I’m not sure if I was impressed or just in stunned confusion by the extensive range of cowlicks on offer.

The T-shirt Editor is back, and though I can’t say it works as well on PC without the touch screen making it easier for you to unleash your artistic side, I still had plenty of fun creating terribly designed outfits that no self-respecting idol would ever truly wear. Sorry, Hatsune Miku.
