That was a great read. Thank you so much for sharing!
My favorite rhythm games are Beat Saber (of course), Rhythm Thief, Theatrhythm, Melody's Escape, One Finger Death Punch, BEATris (because of the concept), A Dance of Fire and Ice 1 & 2, and Neon Beats. I eventually need to beat Aaero and try Band Roll.
Have you tried any of those? Besides Beat Saber?
