Soulslike (and Runescape) fans have been playing rhythm games all along, NecroDancer dev says

Rhythm games are about recognizing patterns and pressing the right buttons at the right time. A few minutes of Guitar Hero, osu!, or Beat Saber will teach you that.

These rhythm games were my obsession in the 2000s, but I was part of the group in the mid 2010s that got tired of Rock Band DLCs and didn’t want to learn guitar with Rocksmith. We retired our rockstar dreams and put our plastic guitars in the basement. Rhythm games winter started, and the titles that came out later and survived were mixing music with other genres, like Brace Yourself Games’ roguelike Crypt of the NecroDancer.
