Games I like more than most

Companion list to "Games I like less than most". Here are the games I ranked more than one star above the backloggd average! I love that this is so much shorter than its companion list. I'm not a grumpy old man I swear

5.0 stars (avg 3.4). If you ignore the hit-and-miss humor and lackluster aesthetic you get a game that distills pure fun into its most addictive form.
4.5 stars (avg 3.2). Where many games I feel nostalgic for disappointed me when I returned much later, this did the opposite. I liked it as a kid and like it even more now.
4.0 stars (avg 2.7). Nostalgia I guess. Have great memories of playing vs mode with my friends and cousins. Yuri Sakazaki probably my first video game crush.
4.0 stars (avg 2.7). One of the few games with BS difficulty I enjoy, because the deaths are entertaining and you never lose too much progress.
3.5 stars (avg 2.2). A surprisingly good time. Hot take: Street Fighter's budget copy of Mortal Kombat is better than Mortal Kombat.
4.5 stars (avg 3.3). The low average honestly surprises me - this is an extremely forward-thinking and revolutionary take on the RPG genre with a classic coat of paint.
5.0 stars (avg 3.8). Favorite game. Nearly 30 years old and arguably still the best job system.
4.5 stars (avg 3.3). Never played Tekken 7 so this is the pinnacle of the series for me.
4.0 stars (avg 2.8). Yeah it's short, but I got it for 50c. Looks traditional but has a lot of QoL and interesting twists on the formula.
3.5 stars (avg 2.3). Tight controls, great sense of humour.
4.5 stars (avg 3.4). The fact that the platforming is so unique and yet so well-done means that this is my personal favorite platformer of the 8-bit era. Plus you get to blow Hitler up!
