Hideki Kamiya Ranked

Hideki Kamiya's original titles ranked. He has never directed a bad game in his entire career btw, even if I enjoy some games more than others.

One of the best feeling games ever made, it's like this game is on constant turbo mode. Every encounter is like a choreographed ballet but everyone beats the shit out of each other. May have some glaring issues but the combat is so relentlessly fun I always come back to it the most.

Overly indulgent and stupid in all the best ways possible. This game was definitely made for people with alien brains and I absolutely love it.

Honestly shocking how the first ever Character Action game managed to get so many elements right on the first go. Every move is useful and cathartic to land, and the enemy design and bosses are still top notch. Game also features the least amout of "Kamiya filler" yet and it makes this one the most easy to revisit because of it.

Funny how Kamiya, a man notorious for disliking horror, got his start into his directing career by creating one of the most influential horror games of all time! Absolute legend even if he probably hated making it!

The most gorgeous Zelda game ever made. It's way too long for it's own good but it's complete eye candy all the way through so that's okay.

[UNRANKED] Only Kamiya game I have yet to complete but from what I've played it's pretty rad! Also deceptively may be his hardest game.
