1986
One of Sega's finest arcade classics. Super fun and unique with awesome colourful presentation.
Worst Monster World game fairly easily I'd say but not a bad game per se, I dislike the pacing quite a bit though and it can be pretty frustrating on top of that.
1983
Very bad but honestly very amusing for what it is. Very fucking weird that this exists at all, I can't help but be fascinated by it as a Lupin III fan
1985
I respect it a lot. Not gonna be playing it all the time or anything but on the occasion I feel like it it's a pretty fun time. Very cool for the time, and that music carries hard honestly
Probably the best paced Kingdom Hearts game. Some mediocre level design but reasonably fun combat carries the game just fine. Story is at its most simple but the characters are all pretty annoying. Sora is just like actively horrible to follow.
1993
Smash Daisaku was supposed to be Hitler
Kinda fun but overly drawn out, you kinda start to see the cracks in the design when they make you revisit shit a lot, and the combat doesn't really ever elevate much.
Still probably the best Kingdom Hearts game

The worst Kirby game and it's not even close. Just fucking spoonfeeds you every single one of its puzzles and forces you to use the ally mechanic which isn't even like, a new concept. I could feel my brain smoothing while playing this game, it's dreadful. There was not a single boss in the main game you could not just beat by spamming and not even remotely having to worry about the boss patterns. The game then tries to convince you that it's good by giving you fanservice to older, better games!
If you like Kirby games on the principle of being Kirby games you'll probably love this. For anyone looking for anything remotely engaging, turn your attention elsewhere. Might I suggest Kirby Super Star Ultra, a Kirby game that actually respects your braincells?

1994
One of the few games I honestly felt lived up to the overwhelming hype and praise it gets consistently over time. It's just extremely fun to control. Definitely one of the SNES' finest.
2003
The checklists are super fun to chip away at. The racing itself is pretty shallow but it's a lot of fun to just unlock stuff or play City Trial with friends.
1999
The hardest Parappa game by far. Get ready to have to replay songs a few times, it can be pretty unforgiving. The story and jokes in this one are great though, it's a considerable stepup from Parappa 1.
2001
Considerable improvement over the original! It's a LOT funnier, the music is far better in my opinion with all of the stages being jammers, the stages have far more dynamic things happening onscreen and it all just feels like an excellent step up. It's a lot more forgiving to play too, without excluding those going for a challenge, as they can go for cool rankings. Truly the best showcase of the charm of this series, and well worth a play. Shame Parappa 3's probably never going to happen.
1996
Great charm and notably one of the first rhythm games, though it's a little lacking in content and the timing can be a little on the wacky side. The sequel is a lot better.
2004
A must play.
1988
If you hate this game for not being "the real Mario 2", you are genuinely a moron.
