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.

This game unironically has the greatest turn-based combat I've ever seen.
14 years after the original game, they finally give us a sequel, and it's kino. What the fuck?
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.
Great horizontal shmup that is further elevated by it's groovy soundtrack and it's phenomenal vibes.
It was really cool seeing where a lot of Hellsinker's mechanics, features, and general design originated.
That OST is the stuff of dreams, man.
I must once again reiterate that Minamitsu is fun as fuck to play, Kanako's 2nd spellcard notwithstanding.
I think it'd be cool if Falcom made more games like this instead of being the "Trails and Sometimes Ys" company
Ayo, that watermelon chick kinda bad though...
Extra half-star for that finale
If this is your favorite JRPG, you need to play more JRPGs.
Quite a fun action platformer, and I still don't understand why it got such middling reception.
God I hate present-day Capcom.
Metroid Fusion but awesome
Great arcade-style racer, even greater soundtrack.
Great arcade-style run-and-gun, and now I have the urge to play more of them.
I HATE DIVINE VIRTUES OF WIND GOD! I HATE DIVINE VIRTUES OF WIND GOD!
I HATE DIVINE VIRTUES OF WIND GOD!
I know it's Team Ladybug's MO, but man I wish this game was longer. The time-stop mechanic is so cooool.
Pokemon... if it was epic!
Cool concepts, decent execution. God I hope we get more Valkyrie Profile games someday.
This game is seriously in the running for "Greatest OST Ever Made".
Peak "it's good, I guess..."-core
Nice game, looking forward to Youmu Konpaku Zero!
Great OST, comically bad game otherwise.
