For reasons that you all already know, getting in shape at home became a goal to pursue that collided with another even more complicated problem, my little predisposition to get in shape and how quickly I get tired of doing sports because of the mere fact of ticking a box in the increasingly necessary Excel of healthy life.
Having passed the 30s barrier, I have a good handful of gyms, sports and home exercise routines behind me that for one reason or another have been disappearing. Some due to incompatibility of schedules, others due to simple boredom. So with the difficult task of finding a fun way to do sports at the least indicated time and with the least possibilities for it, Beat Saber became a salvation.
Beat Saber is still a great gem of virtual reality
The virtual reality musical game, now one of the games in which I have invested the most hours, had always seemed to me to be one of those jewels that does not rise too high. And it is that although the weight of Half-Life Alyx It is obvious, I would not hesitate to place Beat Saber as the second best game that has ever crossed my eyes in VR.
Advancing in an evolution that began hitting the air like a headless chicken and that now throws me moments in which I nail songs almost from memory in the highest difficulties, Beat Saber It has become a kind of home aerobics with which I end up sweating profusely.
For more than a year it has become the perfect tool to warm up for a while before jumping into other more specific exercises such as weight routines or exercise at home, and for the fun of the game and the immediacy of its launch, It was also the perfect excuse to start doing sports even if I didn’t feel like it too much.
Right there comes the inevitable comparison with Ring Fit Adventure, game that also fell into my hands with the same objective that ended up fulfilling Beat Saber. The immediacy of one in front of another, saving me starting the game, dealing with moments of too much pause and plates advancing in history, or even jumping from one exercise to the next, ended up deciding the balance.
Some do reggaeton aerobics, I do it to the beat of Linkin Park’s Faint
Between knowing his main songs by heart and entering my fly-killing session almost daily -a grace of my wife-, the bug of taking a look at the song packs It did not take long for his muzzle to appear to invite me to fall into temptation.
The idea of playing with songs by Linkin Park O Green Day It was too sweet and, although the free music packs are gradually coming to the game and there is the possibility of playing from PC with the themes created by the community, investing a little more in the game seemed the right way.
At the end of the day, I was not only taking hours of play in a crazy way, the initial price was more than amortized and, if I started adding, the peak that I was saving with what I previously spent on gym fees that I walked from figs to figs. It was the perfect way to continue thanking the team of Beat Games the work done.
The new songs became an incentive as they arrived, the changes of scenery brought some variety to an environment that was more watched than the TBO and, over time, I ended up discovering songs that are now among my favorites to play when I need to vent. . After a year playing almost daily, I did not want to miss the opportunity to thank Beat Saber inviting me to get up from the couch. So, Thank you!
