ABBA songs are notoriously easy to sing if you’re a drunk woman on a karaoke stage with a mojito in your hand and a blow-up penis in the other, but us guys can’t hit them notes so easily. So long as you can keep that up you can literally belt out any old bollocks and the game will score you exactly the same. The game doesn’t know what lyrics you’re singing, only the pitch. If you can carry a tune you can get through this game fairly easily without much stress. Which of course means that you don’t actually have to know any of these songs in order to progress. That’s essentially what Let’s Sing ABBA is in comparison to what came before it.
It’s like when FIFA launches on the Switch without a single change but the kits have been updated. There’s not much to get hugely excited about if you were looking for some series innovation here. ‘Feat.’ naturally lets you duet with a buddy and ‘Let’s Party’ is local competitive for up to eight players. ‘World Contest’, as the name suggests puts you up again the entire world to see if you’re actually better than people named Bjorn. ‘Classic’ mode allows you to sing any song you like with the other three members of your ABBA tribute act, ‘Mixtape’ will sling you quick blasts of certain songs if you don’t have the time to put on an entire concert in your living room. It’s very easy to do so, so when you arrive at a ‘boss challenge’ – normally a massive hit played all the way through – and if you beat the other singer you unlock a multitude of things, including adding Dancing Queen to the ‘jukebox’, the games karaoke mode where you and your friends can just sing along for the hell of it. You pick a character and you’re off competing against AI singers and you have to beat their score and knock out a three star rating to progress. If you’re at all familiar with the Let’s Sing series, then you’ll feel right at home on the menu screen. Let’s Sing ABBA is 2022’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons, that launched the day we went into lockdown for the first time. You could argue this landed at precisely the right time. You may not claim to be a fan but if you need some unmitigated cheese in your life to save you from, well, everything, then Let’s Sing has your back. But if I give her a copy of Let’s Sing ABBA she’ll be delighted for an entire weekend. If I said those words to my Mum she’d likely be confused. The same way we marvel at Steam charts every week wondering how What Remains of Edith Finch continues to be a bestseller. On the same wavelength as Let’s Sing Queen from a couple years back, Let’s Sing grabs permission and storms out a game that will sell utterly bucket loads, and us core gamers will never know why.
