If you enjoy rhythm games, Melatonin is worth looking into. It’s like Rhythm Heaven but with a lo-fi, mellow feel. What makes me want to recommend it here specifically is that the game has a custom display setting calibrated for the Steam Deck’s screen which I thought was really cool!
The game itself isn’t that long and can be beaten in a couple of hours but there are of course harder difficulties and perfect scores to aim for which add some replay value. I personally really enjoy the soundtrack which helps too since it does feel a bit too short otherwise.
If you enjoy the aesthetic, but struggle with rhythm, the game also has accessibility modes that help you to get better with the timing instead of just skipping the level entirely.
Agreed, I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed the soundtrack! I’ve had it on repeat on Spotify but I wish they had versions with the in-game sound effects too.
I’m surprised to see there’s so many fellow rhythm game fans here, I’m glad you enjoyed the recommendation! The only issue with the game as I said is that it’s not long at all so perhaps plan to bring a few more rhythm games too 😅
You might like Crypt of the Necrodancer if you haven’t already played it!
Honestly I meant to get that all the way back when it came out and somehow never did, but you're right this is the perfect time. Thanks you're a terrible great influence!
I would love a new Rhythm Heaven game! I did see that this party rhythm game was announced for Switch recently but I’m not sure that it’s really what I’m looking for: https://youtu.be/-RhYKb0IzNs
