Many rhythm games are made for the experienced player, with the good songs and patters at a high difficulty, but what about games meant for the beginner?
What game to start out the dive into the genre really depends on the platform, it could even be a non-rhythm game. For example, I started by playing Piano Tiles to get used to moving my fingers quickly, only later using that for rhythm games.
It’s pretty clear that Friday Night Funkin is the game that has gotten the most people to start playing rhythm games, but there isn’t that much variety because people tend to make mods that are too difficult for a beginner.
Because of this, I’d say that Flash Flash Revolution looks like a better option for PC, with a really big range of difficulties and many songs without the need to search for easy mods.
Sorry for slow answer
In fact, FnF mods feels more like a community game to me, mostly community game only just provides a really specific kind of players. This is a general problem of every community rhythm game, although these easy charts are really quick to chart, osu! might have a better balance here…
If you are a beginner, you should buy and try some official games like DJMax, EZ2ON, blah, blah, blah which have easier charts for you to get used to the rhythm game mechanics.Piano Tiles 2 is mostly considered as a music game, not a rhythm game by many rhythm game players. An honest advice, your fast hit from PT2, forget it. Learn how the music works, it is a slow path but gives you a better experience with music not like the whack-a-mole game.
Even with it being a music game I think PT2 is what got me into rhythm games. When I first looked at osu! I was drawn into the mania mode because it’s kinda similar to PT2. So this game is probably what made me like VSRGs so much.
Of course having played PT2 didn’t make me good at rhythm games straight away, but without it I may have never started playing them.
