I’m not sure if I would buy Just Dance 2022 without an Unlimited subscription, but I would absolutely still play it. You’ll have access to the entire Just Dance library of songs, some of which are still the soundtracks to viral TikTok videos. Once you’ve set up Unlimited, the world of Just Dance is your oyster. Every copy of Just Dance 2022 comes with at least one month of Unlimited, but you have to sign up for a Ubisoft Connect account to access it. A 13-month subscription comes with the Unlimited Edition of the game, which retails for $75. Just Dance 2022 review: Just Dance UnlimitedĪ Just Dance Unlimited subscription is an absolute must-have if you plan on playing Just Dance 2022 for more than a few hours. The likes of “Mood” by 24kGoldn and “good 4 u” by Olivia Rodrigo are bound to get the kids off the couch. If your kids are a bit older, they’ll be happy with the normal mode songs, plenty of which are viral TikTok tracks or famous pop tunes. Personally, I found Sweat mode unnecessary and a bit frustrating, since dancing burns calories a lot slower than you might think. This mode is great if you like to track calories while working out, but you get the same workout in normal mode.

Instead of giving you a score after you complete a song, the game calculates approximately how many calories you’ve burned. Just Dance introduced Sweat mode last year, and the feature has remained the same in Just Dance 2022. Just Dance 2022 review: Sweat mode and Kids mode It’s time to see some different body types, since real-life dancers (and Just Dance players) come in all shapes and sizes. However, all of the new songs feature tall, thin dancer silhouettes. There are tracks with larger bodies as the main dancer on Just Dance Unlimited, which comes with some versions of Just Dance 2022, and requires a subscription. There are even choreographies where dancers remain seated throughout, focusing only on arm movements.Īlthough I appreciated the accessibility features, I was a bit disappointed by the lack of body diversity in the game. Other dance games generally aren't as accommodating. Just Dance 2022 is widely accessible for people who use wheelchairs, or have other physical disabilities. It’s easy to shake the controller to the beat and get great scores despite the fact that you haven’t danced - but that flaw revealed another user-friendly aspect of the game. It’s no secret that Just Dance’s scoring technology is somewhat flawed. With plenty of easy songs to mix in between harder tracks, I got a solid workout while still getting decent scores, and feeling good about my dancing overall. (However, it wasn’t long until we were fumbling through partner dances together.) The first time I played, I was so excited about the new songs that I put on a playlist and sweated it out for about an hour straight. For now, we’d say you can save some cash and skip the PS5 HD Camera as a result.I played a good amount of Just Dance 2022 by myself, telling my boyfriend he was strictly prohibited from coming downstairs while I danced. And, if you’re looking to use your current PSVR headset for backwards compatibility games, Sony assures that it will work with the PS5, meaning its camera presumably will too. The one exception would be if it were a requirement for a next-generation PlayStation VR 2 headset, but that hasn’t been announced yet.

There’s as-yet no specific in-game features that make use of it – though that may of course change in the future. At this early stage in the next-gen game, it could well be worth streamers waiting to see what other manufacturers have planned, as well as how services like Twitch and YouTube plan to integrate with the new console.įor everyone else, we think you can safely pass on the camera. However, we’ve yet to see that interface running, or alternatives from third-party manufacturers that could well offer more features for their respective price tags. It’s a made-for-PS5, Sony-built bit of kit, and will likely offer the most seamless way to get your videos made, shared, and edited within the PlayStation 5 console’s interface itself. Do you need the PS5 HD camera?Īre you a hardcore game streamer, who likes to put their face, as well as their voice, over footage of you pwning your favorite games? Then the camera accessory may be for you. Have you been enjoying making use of video conferencing software’s fun virtual background options during the lockdown? Looks like the PS5 and the PS5 HD Camera will be able to offer something similar.Ī built-in background removal tool will let those using the PS5 HD Camera either crop around their environment to get just the essentials in frame, or remove it completely like a green screen, letting them sit right in front of the in-game action on their clips.
