Release Date: November 5, 2019
Hybrid of the the FPS and rhythm game, developed by Harmonix Music Systems. In the game Audica we get two blasters at our disposal, and our task is to shoot targets to the rhythm of electronic music accompanying the game.
Audica is a game combining elements of FPS and rhythm game, developed for VR sets by Harmonix Music Systems, a team whose portfolio includes games from the Dance Central series.
In Audica we observe the action from first-person perspective. The game takes place on boards with space motifs (we see nebulaes and galaxies in the background). During the game we play the role of a character holding two blasters - orange and blue - and our task is to shoot at targets corresponding to the color of the weapon, to the rhythm of electronic music. Our actions are evaluated by a scoring system on an ongoing basis, and in order to take the highest possible place in the online rankings, we must demonstrate not only a sense of rhythm, but also accuracy, reflexes and perceptiveness.
Audica consists of a campaign and a training mode that enables us to improve our skills. In addition, developers enabled us to choose one of four levels of difficulty.
Audica features colorful, three-dimensional graphics in a style resembling the Tron film series. Among the thirty tracks accompanying the game we can find songs by such artists as deau5, Noisia, Savant or DragonForce.

Game Ratings for Audica Video Game.
Push Square: 8 / 10 by Graham Banas
PlayStation VR isn’t hurting for good experiences, but it’s time to throw another on the stack.
TheSixthAxis: 6 / 10 by Jim Hargreaves
With Audica, Harmonix has taken a shot at reclaiming the rhythm action crown. It touts a challenging lineup of stages matched by a strong song roster yet feels boxed in by its shooting range premise.
GameSpot: 6 / 10 by Justin Clark
There's fun to be had in Harmonix's take on kinetic rhythm games, but it loses the beat in a few key areas.
