Beat Saber is a legendary rhythm game that needs no introduction. The idea of using sabers to cut blocks to the rhythm of the beat sounds simple, but there are many other things this game brings to the table that make this simple gameplay loop so engaging. Players must account for the direction of their slash, any walls or bombs that serve as additional obstacles, and the slow difficulty curve that escalates with each setting.

Synth Riders is a game that compels players to move to the rhythm of the beat, which sounds easier than it is. Unlike Beat Saber, a game where just slashing through a block is enough, Synth Riders features longer trails where players move their arms to trace a pattern, emulating a dance more effectively than other games in the genre.

The idea of combining rhythm gameplay with shooting action used to sound rather odd at one point, but games like BPM: Bullets Per Minute and Metal: Hellsinger have made it clear that these two genres have great synergy with each other and elevate the strengths of both kinds of gameplay. So, it's a no-brainer why Pistol Whip is a great game for fans of unique rhythm titles.

Players will feel like a dancing John Wick as they shoot to the rhythm of the beat while avoiding any bullets that can take them out at a moment's notice. The game is challenging to get into, but players who take the time to master these gameplay systems will love what Pistol Whip will make them feel when they successfully employ a perfect run in every stage.

1 Ragnarock

Meta Store Rating: 4.8/5

A Viking Longship in Ragnarock
  • Platforms: PC, PS5, Meta Quest
  • Released: December 17, 2020
  • Developer: WanadevStudio

One of the most unique combinations of rhythm and racing gameplay, Ragnarock involves players banging on a set of drums with various runes, timing their moves to ensure that the boat moves at a steady pace and overtakes their opposition. It makes for a great time as players move their hands frenetically to get the upper hand against their opposition.

The beauty of Ragnarock stems from the fact that this game is very easy to learn but difficult to master. Suffice it to say, any player's hands will be aching after going through a session of playing this game, with the simple act of banging drums being used brilliantly to make this immersive rhythm-racing game come to light.
