Kinda Ranking Games I Beat This Year (2021)

Complete with notes for some of them! The rankings are just estimates, meticulously ranking almost 50 games (some of them wildly different from another) is a little too tall of an order for even me.

If this is your favorite JRPG, you need to play more JRPGs.
Metroid Fusion but awesome
Great arcade-style racer, even greater soundtrack.
Pokemon... if it was epic!
That OST is the stuff of dreams, man.
14 years after the original game, they finally give us a sequel, and it's kino. What the fuck?
Extra half-star for that finale
This game unironically has the greatest turn-based combat I've ever seen.
Great horizontal shmup that is further elevated by it's groovy soundtrack and it's phenomenal vibes.
I know it's Team Ladybug's MO, but man I wish this game was longer. The time-stop mechanic is so cooool.
Ayo, that watermelon chick kinda bad though...
God I hate present-day Capcom.
I think it'd be cool if Falcom made more games like this instead of being the "Trails and Sometimes Ys" company
I must once again reiterate that Minamitsu is fun as fuck to play, Kanako's 2nd spellcard notwithstanding.
I HATE DIVINE VIRTUES OF WIND GOD! I HATE DIVINE VIRTUES OF WIND GOD!
I HATE DIVINE VIRTUES OF WIND GOD!
Never judge a book by its cover, because this shit came in out of nowhere and just MOGGED the entire metroidvania genre.
Western AAA studios would have you believe that the open-world genre is nothing but a hopeless den of wasted potential. This humble little remaster of a 24-year-old game reminds us that this isn't actually the case.
It was really cool seeing where a lot of Hellsinker's mechanics, features, and general design originated.
This game is seriously in the running for "Greatest OST Ever Made".
Cool concepts, decent execution. God I hope we get more Valkyrie Profile games someday.
Peak "it's good, I guess..."-core
Quite a fun action platformer, and I still don't understand why it got such middling reception.
Great arcade-style run-and-gun, and now I have the urge to play more of them.
Nice game, looking forward to Youmu Konpaku Zero!
Great OST, comically bad game otherwise.
