Defunct Games reviews Rock Band Rivals, available now on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Despite the high price point, I found a lot to like in this Rock Band 4 expansion pack. It makes a lot of smart changes that give me new reasons to play the hundreds of songs I’ve been collecting since 2007. What’s more, the game finally pushes the series forward and makes Rock Band social again. Now all that’s missing is the online multiplayer, which is just around the corner. It only took a year and an expensive expansion pack, but Rock Band 4 finally feels like a proper sequel.
