Iv played this game for ages, sometimes stopping for months sometimes grinding for months. iv at least played this game actively for 6 or 7 years now.
It's incredibly fun with its 4 different game modes with an absolutely humongous amount of beat maps to play from (thats also continuously growing because of a very active community). Right now I'v mostly been playing a game mode I had previously not touched on. Which is Catch the Beat. Its great, its kind of meditative moving and dashing from fruit to fruit. It also has something the other modes don't have which is a great conversion mode. Through this you get the base amount of maps in catch the beat + the maps from the standard mode, leaving you with an absolutely massive collection of maps to play in contrast to taiko and osumania where maps beyond 2 and 3 stars in convert are just shit.
Besides that while going through all these maps you can communicate in the very charming #ctb channel in which you can rehearse all existing numbers, the roman alphabet and of course shout random fruit and vegetable terms into the void. It's very fun and goofy and I usually get a good laugh opening the chat in between playing.
Another thing I want to point on is that improvement in CTB is very smooth and fun usually leaving me completely without rage or spamretrying maps. Its honestly refreshing to not feel frustrated at this game and to just chill and have fun lol, I always had trouble with that on standard and mania (even if I played the living hell out of those modes)
Either way, I strongly recommend checking out osu! and specifically the catch the beat. Fruit catching doesn't get old as quickly as you'd think it would.

I like explorer based titles like this a fair bit, this was a nice ride, I really like the last bit where you had to overlay the two windows to solve the puzzle, that was very dynamic. In general, I like those kinds of half ingame-half sprouting into your pc type situations for games its cool and feels fresh
