I am disappointed. The gameplay loop of NMH1 is missing, the bosses are literally so boring and have two moves. Not one of them is memorable (besides the final boss but just because he is horrific). The level design is good and so is the music. Unfortunately this is not the Travis I know. The motives of Travis are so weird and not understandable.
Playing as two new characters is quite cool though.
You can feel that this game wasn't created by Suda. It felt like it wanted to be a NMH game but it failed. I still think it's an alright game but not comparable to the first game at all. Also, it's not fitting in the whole "Kill the Past" universe. Basically no connection.

It's such an unique game and experience. It's a love letter from Suda to his fans but also to himself. Kill The Past.
This game basically connects almost every Suda game and gives you tons of surprises. I really like how the story is told: An action level and then a virtual novel chapter.
Every level is quite unique and has its own small feature. The combat got reduced a bit but it's still very action heavy. Also the soundtrack is top tier again.
This game is a MUST if you wanna be prepared for No More Heroes 3.

It's quite a cool mod and some people might say it's Portal 2.5 or 3. The story is alright and the new character is cool.
What I really like is the level design. It's very different but very awesome. Seeing other parts of the whole facility is amazing.

Definitely worth the wait. NEO: The World Ends with You is a worthy successor of the first game.
At first I had my problems with the game due to the pacing (the time travel parts added too much padding) and the characters were kinda undeveloped until(!) week 3 happened.
The game was a 7/10 for me until week 3. Week 3 is the best week in the game, especially to the end. Returning characters from the first game, basically all of them besides Hanekawa, is a blessing.
The gameplay is such an improvement and so much. If you have the right pins, it's a blast. The new remixes of the songs and the new songs in general are top tier again. This time clothing works properly.
PLAY THE FIRST GAME FIRST!!

A short puzzle game a la Portal or Turing Test.
Story is alright, soundtrack is not really there but the gimmicks with the light are quite cool.

A very cute puzzle game where you control three characters with different color. It is not too difficult but the puzzles are just fun. A few collectibles here and there. Unfortunately the rewind feature breaks sometimes.

Amazing story telling that breaks the 4th wall. Different kind of genres and a cool artstyle. Can't really go much into detail without spoiling. Just play the game yourself. Creepy atmosphere throughout the game.
Also play Beneath the Surface afterwards hehe

Very enjoyable, around 2 hours of fun gameplay.
It's more of a puzzle game than a stealth game. Acquiring the new abilites is fun. The story is quite good, it's your 0815 story.

I really tried to like it. I really did but I just find it so boring.
The cast, especially the twins, are so uninteresting. All the cameos of FF characters are quite cool but that's it. The summoning/medal mechanic is really cool and the combat is quite fun as well. Collecting all your mirages by fulfilling conditions is a challenge but worth it.
Of course the OST is great (as expected from a Final Fantasy game), especially the remixes of old songs.
It's not a good spin-off game.

A small therapy session with a great message. The puzzles are all super cool, sometimes I felt a bit uneasy. The length is perfect, it doesn't overstay its welcome. The voices/announcers can be a bit irritating sometimes. Please play it.

It's a very mediocre game with cool boss battles and good music. Sometimes the artstyle is cool, sometimes it is very off, making it very hard to look at. The story is not really engaging but still interesting. A lot of the sidestuff is quite rough, it feels very forced. The whole dating thing is very weird and fun for the first time but then it's quite repetitive.
There are some references here and there to other Suda games like Silver Eye or just the name of the protag, but no really heavy connection to other games.

No thoughts, just Deltarune. Holy fuck, Toby Fox, you did it again. Chapter 2 is longer and better than Chapter 1, the music is top tier again. SO MANY THEORIES IN MY HEAD. The new characters are so cool and fun. I cried again...
The gameplay was such an improvement, all the characters get their development and it's a great new setting. The whole cyber world lands all the jokes perfectly and the new minigames are also so much fun.

A very short but unique photography game. The vibe of the game, thanks to the music and artstyle, is just so different but cool. Taking pictures of everything is a lot of fun.
Unfortunately the timer makes me feel a bit pressured and because of that, I do not really have time to make beautiful pictures. Sometimes the angles are a hit or miss.

Massive improvement from the first game. The key fights are so epic and even look better than in the anime. The combat is better too but the substitution jutsu just doesn't work. Side content is alright.
