Over the years many rhythm games have been developed, and we probably all remember at least one musical game that captivated us and we played non-stop. Nowadays, there are many well-known titles that many people tend to play frequently, while others try some of the newer titles that are usually very good indies.
There are also the games that give the great challenge of surpassing themselves with tests, which are almost impossible for most players, but somehow manage to be overcome by many.
There is a wide variety of rhythm games, we can find titles that opt for unique gameplay, others bring a beautiful art style with a good story, and others give us a complex and entertaining gameplay style that gives us a great sense of immersion. Some create a set of songs by themselves and resonate with a large part of the community.
This category of video games is very wide and unique, and that's why we want to bring you a wide selection of rhythm and musical titles for you to try during 2023. This is only the first part so you can expect more outstanding rhythm games to discover in the following weeks, so remember to stay tuned at LEVEL UP to not miss any great titles in the future!
Titles that must be purchased
The vast majority of titles in this category require purchase, nonetheless, some have a very affordable cost, while others may be better with a discount. Some have a demo available, so you can try them first and know with confidence if you want to buy them. Don't forget to take a look at each title and save the ones that catch your eye to your wishlist:

The game developers at Pikselnesia accurately describe Afterlove EP as "a slice-of-life adventure about love, loss, and music. Explore modern Jakarta as Rama in his journey to learn about himself, create music, find love and come to terms with the loss of his girlfriend Cinta, whose voice still lives on in his head." It is planned to be launched sometime in 2023.
