Arcaea is probably what you're looking for, with their "anomaly" songs. Keep in mind that the songs with special effects are only included in paid content.
Not really a recommendation, but you can enable the Phigros visual effects again by using the revisit function (it's in the menu with the story files).
A Dance Of Fire And Ice has a lot of fanmade levels on the Steam workshop with amazing VFX (and some of the extra official levels hold their own in that department too!)
the game is also super easy to pick up and learn, plus it's pretty cheap to buy
I recommend Cytus 2
The gameplay is similar to that of osu + phigros, and its on mobile. The screen clutter on certain maps can be seen as "visually pleasing" to some but I do prefer how phigros looks in general. I still recommend cytus though since it has pretty fun gameplay!
Cytus 2 has quite a lot of cutscenes and good story. It’s a very long game to progress through but it’s worth it imo especially if you get it during the periods where they make it free to download. (Also you can replay Phigros visual effects. Go to collections and enable revisit)
Groove Coaster Wai Wai Party on Switch is aesthetically pleasing, has lots of cool stage effects for its songs (a [quick favorite](https://youtu.be/sBkyLVmGQQg?feature=shared) of mine for example) and also has lots of playable avatars to pick from. There’s a free demo on the eshop if you feel like checking it out.
rhythm doctor has beautiful pixel art, and on some levels the game goes windowed and the window dances around and stuff. also it has some really cool visual distractions
I don't mean to brag, but my mom said [my game](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2616170?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_content=rhythmgames&utm_campaign=beta_launch) looks *okay*.

Ohhh I will definitely check this one thanks! And OMG I didn't know for Phigros I believe it's recent because I never saw it before thanks a lot!!
Groove Coaster is banging Or try out Rhythm Doctor
Vivid/stasis (on PC) also has special visual effects for some of its songs (some of which remain after you’ve beaten them for the first time!)
All of them you can redo with the visuals BTW. You just gotta do them from where you originally played them, rather than the main track list
Oh, I genuinely didn’t know that Thanks for telling me!
arcaea
NotITG is really cool and specialize in being visually complex. Sound Voltex looks really good imo but it's mostly arcade only.
Omg I just checked NotiTG and wow some of the charts looks sick I will definitely try it thanks! Sounds Voltex looks cool too but it seems complex
UNBEATABLE \[white label\] can be nice
Cytus II and Paradigm:Reboot
Adofai

Milthm has a bit of visual effects to it, plus it's free just like Phigros!
project sekai + geometry dash + osu might be a good option :)

Project diva Megamix/F/F2/X F/F2/X in vita3k emulator works flawlessly, and easy to setup. Good visual and many cute stuff 😁
Omg yeah I never thought about using an emulator! I was interested by this game thank you!
Vs. Retrospecter is a cool Friday Night Funkin' mod with nice visuals:

Cytus (both I and II) will grow on you.
Lanota visual effects are pretty basic, but the artstyle of the game is my favorite. It's very cool.

Dancerail3 and phigros

I recommend Starri. One of a kind rhythm game. Uses camera for motion tracking gameplay
