Hello everyone!

Another very busy week, didn't really play much at all. And recently my DualSense (PS5 controller) started drifting and options button stopped working, so sent it for repairs, which means no PS5 games for few days. Which leaves:

  • New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe Still in water level, I paused the game and left it in sleep mode, which one of my kid closed, so I lost all progress since last castle. Had to replay all that. Now at the final castle of Water level.
  • Dragon Quest XI Played some more, killed a boss, and finished all the open available side quests. Now to next main quest.

What about you all? What are all of you playing? Or planning to play next?

With all this, which ones do you think I should try? Or if I should try any at all.

I tend to prefer the simpler, arcade-style rhythm games. Think of stuff like Guitar Hero or Dance Dance Revolution.

Definitely try Theatrhythm Final Bar Line. It's very fun gameplay-wise, has a ridiculous amount of content (something like 380 tracks on the base game, with 100+ extras as DLC if you get the premium version), the RPG elements are interesting, and if you are a fan of FF games it's also a huge nostalgia trip. There's even a free demo with 30 songs which lets you get a good taste of the game.

Project Diva Megamix is my favorite "no frills" game in this genre - just choose a song and start playing. Tons of tracks, gets crazy intense on the higher difficulties. But it's a vocaloid game, and not everyone will enjoy this type of music. There's also a PS4 version which is essentially the same game with better graphics but no option to use motion controls.

Taiko Drum Master games are generally fun, in particular if you can get your hands on a physical drum, but even on a regular controller I have a good time with these.

There's Old School Musical which is a hilarious indie rhythm game with chiptune tracks inspired by 8-bit and 16-bit classics. Doesn't have as much content as some of the games above, but it's also fairly cheap and fun.

As for more "unique" rhythm games, I enjoy Thumper, which is kinda hard to describe but it's a metal rhythm game on a racing track of sorts, and Crypt of the Necrodancer which is a rhythm-based roguelike. There's also a Zelda crossover for this last one called Cadence of Hyrule , but I haven't played it yet.

Thanks for the list, saved the post. Will start with Theatrhythm, and see how it goes.
