UltraStar Deluxe.
By UltraStar Deluxe contributors
UltraStar Deluxe is a free karaoke game for singing into microphones. Up to six people can take turns or sing together while the game scores pitch and rhythm. It grew from corvus5's UltraStar and adds party mode, themes, and broader audio and video support, with Windows releases plus Linux and macOS ports.
The F7 Insight
Most rhythm games ship their own chart library. UltraStar Deluxe is closer to a living-room instrument: the interesting choice is which song folder you bring, and the score still depends on a real voice.
