I pretty much only play on PC, and honestly I’m not very good, or deep into the scene. I’m mostly a causal enjoyer, and an audience member to the better members of the broader community. So that’s why I’m asking for your help.

Please post quality games with a link, and we can make this together. It will take a while and be a work in progress, but eventually we’ll get there. Here’s what we have so far, tell me if a game is low quality, and I can remove it.

Upvote this post! Lemmy doesn't allow comment pinning.

I'm taking request indefinitely! Make sure to include links, and what platforms it may be on, it helps a ton! Also, if you see any errors, or games that need to be moved to different sections, please mention it and provide a link to help me get it right!

I would add Quaver - it's an open-source VSRG on Steam (like osu!mania but better) and has a good community. Great list though.

Great list!

Some additions:

Phigros on iOS and Android definitely, probably the best mobile exclusive rhythm game. It's also completely free and has a large library.

VOEZ is another class game, great on Switch or iOS, Android.

Groove Coaster isn't my favorite but has a lot of songs and works great on all platforms, quite a big community of players as well.

Cytus and Lanota are also quite nice

Can't talk about PC rhythm games without shouting out StepMania either, the OG DDR/ITG clone

I love Cytus. Same dev also makes Deemo which is also great.

I just started playing Phigros due to a recommendation on this sub. Pretty cool so far!

Deemo is also really nice! Always forget about that one. Different feel to the music than the average rhythm game too without hurting the chart variety

I quite liked the Patapon Games on the PSP when I was a kid. Patapon 1 and 2 are also available remastered for the PS4.

Before the Echo.

Older and a little grindy, but man... this game introduced me to Ronald Jenkees who does the majority of the soundtrack. I still actively listen to this soundtrack 10 years later.

Game play is fun too, switching between tracks to attack, defend or heal as needed but you need to time it right so that you don't miss out on crucial defends or it will kill you.

Lots of rpg elements in this game too.

In a similar style, I'd recommend Metronomicon. I think this is a better video game overall, but there's no Ronald Jenkees so I feel it's a toss up and both are worth playing.

Those sound like awesome games! I’ll definitely add them to the list. Do you have links for them? I want to make sure I have the right ones for the post.

I want to ask to add..

Dynamix Android iOS

also a feedback, StepMania seems to stop its development for a quite long while, Etterna and Project Outfox are both really good alternatives...
