it's somewhere inbetween cookie clicker and dark souls
but really, might just be the new-age mapping but i feel the music is very disconnected from the objects on the screen in most newer maps. There are exceptions, but they are far and few inbetween and are mostly technical maps. pp kids nowadays just consider good maps over mapped and/or unreadable and it makes me sad and that has led to an even further trend towards osu! being regarded as more of a clicking game than a rhythm game. the age of skystar and fanzhen maps is over, though. So is the age of feeling the music in the notes. Can only get that experience by playing older maps now.
tl;dr, whether or not it's a rhythm game or a circle clicking game depends chiefly on the map. https://osu.ppy.sh/p/beatmap?b=538404&m=0, https://osu.ppy.sh/s/155288, and for a less technical example, https://osu.ppy.sh/s/58291 are all good examples of maps that makes it feel like a rhythm game. choco cookie butter cookie whatever is a good example of the opposite.
It's easy to tell when a mapper is trying to impart you with the circles he saw in his head while listening to a song and when a mapper is trying to impart you with PP. Turns out there's a strong correlation between the former and good maps.

Actually I've had some people regard osu! as more of a 'challenge' than a 'game', due to a lack of some key elements that most games have, but they have definitions of what games are as programmers and game developers and see the things osu! lacks compared to most games as disqualifying it. It's a subjective thing.N0thingSpecial wrote:
