Rhythm's popularity amongst developers
This graph shows games released over the years with the Rhythm tag and the percentage they represent. The releases count conveys the quantity of games published on Steam each year. It usually follows the increasing amount of Steam games released.
The percentage, on the other hand, gives a better view of the trend a tag follows. It shows if, in proportion, the Rhythm tag is getting more or less popular. The Review chart will tell us if this trend is a good thing (i.e. players interest is increasing, tag is undercrowded) or if it's the opposite.
The Rhythm game tag peaked in 2021 with 145 games released. The tag's popularity is in a range between 0.22% in 2010 and 0.06% in 2017.
Keep in mind that the current year is not over, so the number of games released will still increase. But the percentage is usually a good estimate.
