Just Dance

Well, what can I say about the Just Dances series of rhythm games? It started all the way back in 2009. Since then, it has an instalment every year, is featured in The Guinness Book of World Records and has world championships. For gamers it will probably be best known for its awkward and rather bizarre routines used in Ubisoft's E3 conferences.

Beat Saber

Over recent years VR headsets are becoming ever more popular. So, it's no surprise that the system has its own rhythm game. In the original version you use 2 sabres (usually blue and red) to hit blocks in time to a song made especially for the game. You will also have to hit in a particular direction and avoid mines and obstacles. Now it's become so popular that different bands have added their music, such as Panic at the Disco, Imagine Dragons, BTS, Green Day and Linkin Park.
