Rocksmith+ is a far from perfect offering from Ubisoft, but it’s an undeniably effective teaching tool. Learning to play a track through Rocksmith+ offers more fun than staring at the same tab for an hour, but whether or not it has the songs you’re after is another matter entirely.
It's a great learning experience so far. Note detection is greatly improved over previous editions. The song selection at release has some decent selections, but I'm hoping we'll see quite a few more popular songs soon.
The best music tool to learn how to play the guitar or the bass, period. Hold your money, though, that song library has to grow and mature for the subscription model to make sense.
I'm absolutely getting my money’s worth out of RS+ but there's room for improvements.
There are hundreds of great songs in RS+ already, if one wants to learn to play guitar or bass, unless your goal is to start a specific greatest hits cover band. There's a lot to discover and worth playing.
The argument, I don't know any of the songs therefore I have no interest in playing any of them is one I personally don't understand. One of my favorite genres, Metal of the more extreme kind is seriously underrepresented (as of now) but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy a good song from any other genre, even if I have never heard it before.
The is a good learning tool, and the game and sound engine are better than RS2014. It's missing some previous features, such as session mode. The product has the potential to be great, but at the moment I cant recommended it due it to its awful song selection.
The game is OK and has lots of songs but they removed session mode, recommended songs and mod support. The video stammers and audio configuration is very hard.
Oh, and you can't buy it, this is a game as service. A VERY EXPENSIVE service.
This game is an enormous downgrade from Rocksmith 2014. I really loved the previous version, but this version is just a huge waste of money. The subscription based cost means you're paying $100+ per year for the game. The justification for this cost is the song library, which is just garbage. The most recent metal album in the library is 2019. In the Rock category, there have only been 7 songs added from 2021 and 2022 and none of them are event remotely popular bands.
You will be hard pressed to find 4 songs you even recognize in this game unless you're a big fan of pop rock from the 50's and 60's.
While it does what Rocksmith 2014 did, it doesn’t do it better. In fact it’s a stripped down version of it. It suffers from same things it did while in BETA and the developers obviously didn’t listen to us.
The library, while at it first seems huge, is laughably lacking. With claims of thousands of songs, it comes down to a fifth of what’s claimed and those thousands aren’t actually songs but different arrangements.
Note detection is abysmal most of the time and you aren’t rewarded for playing the song right, but rather how the game dictates it ( 70% of the time you’ll play it wrong for game to detect it ) which goes against the principle of learning the instrument and/or the song.
Same connection setup as RS2014 yielded insane latency issues and I had to tweak it for over an hour just to get semi decent results. Ended up eliminating it, but there was no logic to it. Trial and error.
Thousands of hours in RS games made me hopeful, but if the first thought after trying this game is “refund”, something went terribly wrong.
If you are a newcomer, I implore you to follow the development and stay away from subscription until they fix major issues.
