32gb RAM @ CL18; 3600 mHz
Valve Index 144Hz mode, 150% resolution scaling, Knuckles controllers

Pros:
- Creative twist on the rhythm genre, having you beat drums with massive mallets to the tune of Celtic rock and fantasy power metal. You bash a shield off to the side once your mallets charge from perfect hits for a speed boost in game.
- Stable performance. I personally haven't noticed any bad frame drops or had any catastrophic bugs occur
- In-house camera customization for streamers with plenty of options
- Official LIV support
- Supports community content, unlike another certain cornerstone rhythm game we all likely own. You can visit ragnasong.com or ragnacustoms.com to download some songs.
- Nice art style. This is really up to personal preference, but I find the low poly models to be charming
- Lots of accessibility from mallet angle, drum height, and note speed to note color, curved drum formats, and beat lines to ensure you're hitting notes without hurting yourself
- Tons of customization options for your mallets tied to achievements, as well as several longship skins, giving you a good sense of accomplishment through rewards
- Varied in-game backgrounds dependent on the song to prevent your vision from getting bored
- Absolute steal of a price for a VR game of this caliber.

Cons
- Timing is a bit awkward at first. I wouldn't say as badly as the negative reviews make them out to be, but it definitely takes a while to dial in a good compensation value between your actions and the song itself. YMMV.
- On harder songs, it is difficult to find an opening to hit the boost shield to your side. Room between notes is very tight. YMMV.

I've been on the Ragnarock bandwagon since January 2021 when the game was in early access, and I can say without a doubt it's worth every penny. You'll be moving, grooving, headbanging, and drumming it out to viking/pirate techno/metal, provided with plenty of endurance and speed challenges, and get one HELL of a workout by the end of your sessions. I cannot recommend this game enough!
