Gameplay

Just like its predecessors, Just Dance 2021 requires you to copy the on-screen dancers doing their best interpretations of popular songs. It's like watching a 'dance off' series, but you're the star! In a twist, if you don't have a motion controller (looking at you, PS5 users!), you can just whip out your phone and use the game's app as a substitute. Because who hasn't thought, 'I could really use my phone to embarrass myself more efficiently'? The game introduces some decent new features, such as the 'Quick Play' mode for those moments when you just want to dance like no one's watching but know they are. It also upped its multiplayer game with the revamped 'World Dance Floor' that pits your moves against others in a competitive showdown. You've got options ranging from 'Chill Panda' to 'Fierce Deer,' which is perfect for anyone looking to unleash their inner animal while grooving along to the latest hits! Just Dance 2021 continues to serve up that addictive carrot of forced cardio, with songs that cover everything from bouncy pop to the ultimate dad vibes of classic hits. Try not to pull a muscle as you shake your stuff during an intense impromptu 'Blinding Lights' session, while your pet watches you with a mix of curiosity and shame.

Graphics

Visually, Just Dance 2021 doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it definitely gives it a funky paint job. The moves and choreography are fluid, and the characters are more colorful than a toddler's crayon box. The colorful stages transform your living room into a vibrant dance floor - no glitter even needed! The user interface is reminiscent of past entries, making it easy for long-time players to jump right in while still being friendly enough for newcomers to pick up without feeling like they're entering a calculus exam. But let's be honest; it's mostly about having a great time, even if it looks like you just discovered how to operate your legs.

Conclusion

In a world where social distancing has become the norm, Just Dance 2021 brings a slice of that pre-pandemic joy back into our lives. Whether you're busting a move alone or dragging your friends into a dance-off that's sure to be etched into the annals of 'Why Did We Do That?', this game is a solid choice. Sure, it doesn't bring anything groundbreaking to the table, but it's got some tasty tunes and modes to keep your spirits high. So throw on your best sweatband, and let's get this dance party started! Overall, it earns an 8 out of 10 - because let's face it, who doesn't need a reason to dance and laugh at themselves?
