Rhythm Doctor

I'm going to be honest here. I don't regularly play rhythm games, matter of fact, its one of my least played genres. I picked up this game because I wanted to get into rhythm games and saw so much positivity and people going feral for this game. But I'm not even 5 minutes into the game (based on the length of the osts) and I immediately am faced with a level designed to be as frustrating and annoying as possible, one where two of your most important senses actively sabotage you and prevent you from being able to perform, one where everything you've learned gets thrown out of the window, there is no tempo switches, there are no skipped beats, you can't trust audio cues or visual cues because they are more distorted than not. The level can be boiled down to "stop playing Rhythm Doctor and go act out what its like to be a metronome" because that's what it is, its made to prevent you from engaging with the game, all you do is count to 7 and press space on 7, that's it, that's the level. I would love to keep playing this as it seems genuinely good, but as a first time rhythm game player I just can't enjoy it because there's no way to just not play the level. Sure I could go back and "practice" with the other two tracks and their harder versions but what would be the point? Like I said the level actively goes against everything set up by the other levels. I physically cannot play the rest of the game because this level exists. So if you aren't a hardcore rhythm game fan I can't say I'd recommend playing, I'm going to because I want to experience more than the torment nexus I'm stuck in, but because the torment nexus is the 3rd level I don't even know if I'll get past it. "It might help to close your eyes." - Ian Edit 1: I finally got past them, it was not enjoyable, I felt nothing from beating them. Do you know what it took to beat them? No of course you don't it took muting all forms of audio except for the snare and clap to indicate the beat. I had to deprive myself of most of the game like some kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ monk in order to beat it. And my opinion of it got worse the further in I made it. At the end of the track your audio and visuals are basically entirely removed, literally metronome simulator, I wish I was joking. I will continue to play as I said I would and If I ever see anything like that again you will be the first to know. Edit 2: I think I hate this game, everything about it is antithetical to the word rhythm, they should've just called it doctor. The word rhythm would imply some kind of consistency, I found none here, I will probably play again because I have a bad habit of playing games I hate but I wish I wouldn't.
