The concept of Just Dance is wonderful already. This year's model doesn't have many new features, but that’s OK. If that isn’t an endorsement of this joyful game, I’m not sure what is. While playing Just Dance 2022, I sweated a lot and laughed so much - even when I was dancing in an empty house, alone. 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. Also you unlock songs as you play the game so itll make you. Unlike the PS5 HD Camera, it's totally worth the asking price of $30 / £24.99.I played a good amount of Just Dance 2022 by myself, telling my boyfriend he was strictly prohibited from coming downstairs while I danced. Great game i love it but you must have the wand (microphone) controller to play and the camera. As you play on your freshly charged pad, your other controller will be charging, so you’ll technically never be caught short again when it comes to the DualSense's middling battery life. This means after you've finished playing, you simply pop your pad into the dock and it’ll be ready to go when you return.īetter still, if you own a second DualSense controller, you can hot-swap between pads when required. The DualSense Charging Station doesn't occupy any of the PS5’s precious USB ports either as it plugs directly into a power outlet. I’ve found that since buying the Charging Station, it’s helped alleviate any feelings of frustration I have when the 'Wireless Controller battery is low' prompt appears – something that happens far too frequently. However, there is one PS5 accessory that I wholeheartedly recommend picking up right now: the DualSense Charging Station. That could make the PS5 HD Camera an unavoidable purchase for some, but for everyone else, heed my advice and steer clear.

You can plug almost any third-party webcam into an Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S for streaming, many of which perform better than the PlayStation 5 HD Camera and have the added bonus of working on a PC. This is at odds with Microsoft’s approach. Frustratingly, Sony doesn’t let you use any other webcams on PS5.
