This one is pretty amazing. I've played a few rhythm games and I've loved a lot of them. I think SRXD might be my most favorite. I also bought the game and all DLC for one of my son's who's musical taste fits perfectly with the majority of the game charts. I've downloaded I think a thousand custom charts and weeded out a few that were really bad or just meme charts. But I've kept about a thousand I think. Beware if you get greedy like me and grab that many customs, the game will initially chug for a couple of seconds after clicking the Play button on the main screen. Seems that the game would benefit from some type of caching system for the chart list and thumbnails. Just a guess. I was talking to my wife about this game and why I love it so much. For me (as an actual musician) it's a combination of feeling like I'm playing an instrument and the feeling like I'm dancing. It's great. I like around 90% of the songs (including all the DLC), but my tastes are pretty eclectic and I like a wide range of normal music to weird ♥♥♥♥♥. I'm playing with an Xbox Elite 2 wireless controller BTW and it feels perfectly natural. I worked up from easy, then quickly to normal, and now getting very proficient with hard level. Anyway, that's my take on it. I would highly recommend if you like rhythm games. Go get you some, yo.

As far as rhythm games go, this is the most unique control scheme I have ever played with. Everything feels satisfying to do, every track feels brilliantly put together. I will admit, it suffers from "too much EDM" syndrome, but unlike other games, the tracks are memorable and have quite a bit of staying power after the fact. One of the more unexpected selling points is the difficulty as it actually caters to all-comers. I can confidently FC an expert track, but still have room to grow with the XD tracks. I've had multiple non-gamers get the game exclusively because the lower difficulties are still really fun to play! Its been a blast watching them get better and better. If you're on the fence, give it a go, you won't regret it.
