Famitsu gave Rhythm Heaven Groove a total score of 34/40. The Japanese magazine’s four reviewers awarded the game two 8/10 scores and two 9/10 scores, producing the combined total used in its review listings.
That score places Groove among the more positively received entries in the rhythm-game series. Famitsu’s system combines four individual reviews rather than presenting one editor’s single mark, so the total is best understood as an aggregate: 8 + 8 + 9 + 9 = 34.
The score is easy to confuse with earlier Rhythm Heaven releases. The original Rhythm Heaven also received 34/40 from Famitsu, while Rhythm Heaven Fever received 32/40 and Rhythm Heaven Megamix received 34/40. Those similar totals belong to different games; Groove’s 34/40 comes from its own 2026 review coverage.
