History YMMV / BeatSaber

* ItsShortSoItSucks: "Fitbeat" was marketed as a song meant to help those quarantined during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic [[{{Exergaming}} get some exercise]]. However, the song is barely under two minutes long, so those looking to use it for a good workout would have to play it multiple times at a higher difficulty.

** The Music/{{Camellia}} songs. All high-speed songs, and all with no fewer than five notes per second on the hardest difficulties. The general rule of thumb with these songs is that each chart should be treated as a level of difficulty higher than usual, which means mastering Expert+ is going to prove quite the ordeal for even the most seasoned players. By far the worst offender is GHOST, which is, by a very wide margin, the toughest official track in the entire game; this nearly [[MarathonLevel six-minute]] monstrosity clocks in at well over 200 beats per minute and, as such, requires near superhuman arm speed to come even close to surviving at any difficulty above Hard. Those who can best it on Expert+ without any difficulty-reducing modifiers are few and far between, and taking it on with difficulty-''increasing'' modifiers is an exercise in utter insanity.

** "[=FitBeat=]" certainly qualifies. To clarify, the chart itself isn't terribly complex. What makes this song so brutal is the fact that it's specifically designed to tire you out quickly, making your biggest obstacle on this track your own physical limits. On higher difficulties, you'll simply find yourself dropping from exhaustion long before you reach the end of the song unless you have a decent level of physical endurance.

** The CAMILA songs. Brutal hardstyle, and all of them have a count of at least 5 notes per second. In addition, none of them are slow songs, either.
*** CAMELLIA. Add them being around 6 minutes long each, with standard for the first three albums of 2-3mins.

** Mission 29 is also a pretty insidious showstopper for most players. It requires getting a score of at least 400,000 on Rum 'n' Bass Expert while getting no more than five bad cuts. The margin of error for getting said score is ''ridiculously'' tight as it is, but the last part of the song throws in a _ton_ of tightly grouped notes that, unless you've mastered rapid-fire cutting with one hand, will almost certainly fail you out on the bad cuts criteria. The "No Fail" mode being active during this mission is practically a slap in the face, because unless you get a Full Combo or damn close to it, you're not passing this mission, period.

** From the campaign mode, mission 17b is a rather difficult one. The mission is to play "$100 Bills" on Expert and One Saber mode. The complex note clusters needing to be done with one hand is hard enough, but you only get four misses, any more and you lose the level. Without proper practice, it's very easy to fail the mission before the beat drops.

* MemeticMutation: "That's a lot of low notes." [[labelnote:Explanation]]In a crossover with ''Film/StarWars'' courtesy of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxMgFSMZbbo this video]], Star Wars fans will now occasionally remark "That's alot of low notes" whenever someone makes a comment about Anakin killing younglings.[[/labelnote]]

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Honestly, all of the songs are pretty great.[[note]]Feel free to explain which songs you really like, but it should be from the original game, not songs added using custom maps or the modded version.[[/note]]

* HypeBacklash: Beat Games hyped the addition of the Music/PanicAtTheDisco music pack for about a week, but many fans were disappointed that it only included four songs, especially since, by comparison, the Music/ImagineDragons has ten songs. Panic! fans were also disappointed that some of their earlier songs like "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" weren't included.

** From the OST Vol. 2, "Unlimited Power" is an epic rap about Beat Saber itself. Emperor Palpatine joke included free of charge.

** As of the Monstercat update, "Overkill - RIOT" on Expert+ is far and away the most difficult song in the pack.

** MOMOLAND's "Bboom Bboom" is not only catchy, but has hitboxes that makes you follow the actual dance steps for the song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJcqhvadbkI as demonstrated here]].
** The well-known and [[{{Earworm}} unforgettable]] "Caramelldansen" is as memorable as ever, and ''also'' makes you do the actual dance, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5PRT0uKhgU just like this]].

* ThatOneLevel: "Balearic Pumping" on Expert is notoriously difficult on the PC version.

** "Beat Saber" sets the mood for the entire game, and boy does it deliver.
