Rhythm games have been around since 1996, with the genre’s first game “PaRappa the Rapper” soon evolving into a range of games, from “Dance Dance Revolution” (“DDR”) and “Guitar Hero” to games today such as “Beat Saber” and “Osu!” The basics involve simple movements such as hitting, clicking or stepping on a note to the beat of tune, alongside other mechanics to differentiate the game from the many others. The music and rhythm game category, however, have been viewed as a more niche section that profits only a small portion in the video game market. The video game industry is a crucial part of the entertainment economy with an estimated $97.67 billion accumulated in 2022 nationally.
