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

Art of Fighting 2
Art of Fighting 2
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.
Bionic Commando
Bionic Commando
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!
Cosmic Star Heroine
Cosmic Star Heroine
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.
Cthulhu Saves the World
Cthulhu Saves the World
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.
Final Fantasy V
Final Fantasy V
5.0 stars (avg 3.8). Favorite game. Nearly 30 years old and arguably still the best job system.
I Wanna Be the Guy
I Wanna Be the Guy
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.
One Must Fall: 2097
One Must Fall: 2097
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.
Street Fighter: The Movie
Street Fighter: The Movie
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.
Streets of Rogue
Streets of Rogue
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.
Tekken 6
Tekken 6
4.5 stars (avg 3.3). Never played Tekken 7 so this is the pinnacle of the series for me.
Two Crude Dudes
Two Crude Dudes
3.5 stars (avg 2.3). Tight controls, great sense of humour.
