I love Pistol Whip, absolutely, but it’s harder for me to feel the music and the rhythm in that one. I’ve tried a bunch to stay on beat, but when you’re dodging like mad and sweating and there’s suddenly a guy on your left from a niche in the wall, it feels harder to be one with the music.
Grain of salt - I have a very deep relationship with music, so for me, beatsaber let’s me feel the music in a new way and syncs the rhythm and the sounds just right (on well mapped levels).
Synth Riders tries to emulate that feeling, but it feels a little more clunky and a lot more like dancing. Which is fine, the dancing is fun, but just not totally there in all songs.
The drumming viking one seems like it’d be fun, but less interactive than Beat Saber.
I did recently see a clip of one where you’re a conductor for an orchestra? I don’t have a CR set right now (and am waiting for the steam frame with bated breath) but that one looked really good.
Potentially Civilization games, there’s a lot of good quotes and interesting things in them. I recently impressed someone for knowing all the wonders of the ancient world (thanks, Civ V)
I’ve also seen a few great games about learning other languages. There’s one for Japanese that’s been on my wishlist forever.
