I do not love this game, for it is extremely fucking difficult, and I have no desire to master it.
I do respect it though, I think.

I managed to get a 5-star restaurant by making nothing but egg drop soup with a side of egg drop soup every single day for a few in-game weeks so maybe this game stinks actually
There are six short levels and it only actually starts hitting actual polyrhythms on level six.
I don't know. Whatever. Who cares.
Here's a youtube link to The Complete Atomic Basie from 1957 by the Count Basie Orchestra. Listen to this instead.

It's still serviceable, but compared to the first one CSD2 isn't great. There's a tremendous lack of direction presented to you through some of the worst menu navigation I've experienced in a video game.
To their credit, they really upped the quality of the overall presentation of this one. The food itself looks great, there's a nice variety of customers, and actually making the food is still satisfying. Being able to customize your own restaurant decor is a nice touch (that I felt immediately overwhelmed by). The different restaurants that you can temporarily work at is also a great idea, giving you the option to focus on more specific food types. Holding stations so that you can prep food beforehand are a very cool idea, but the overall execution of the game itself is much more difficult to handle, and in a way that's less challenging and more frustrating.
A major gripe I have is that the overall pacing of progression is just not there. I can't imagine playing this game before the first one. There is no sense of gradual progression in building up your restaurant, as you can effectively choose to make any kind of food you can afford. It was nice being originally limited to corn dogs and pretzels when you're starting out in the first game so that you can get used to the way that the game works, focusing on a small handful of things at a time. CSD2 has similar progression with its new system of working part-time at other restaurants in the building, starting with a hotdog restaurant and moving on to more complicated eateries, but the pacing along with the medal system feels...directionless?
Most important, there are way too many god damned chores.
There's no way any restaurant would need to set roach traps five times in one day. There aren't that many roaches.
I don't hate this, but it's not as good as the first one.

I originally picked this up because it sounded like shovelware and I was morbidly curious. Turns out Alien on the Run is pretty alright!
Nice and short time-attack game, very silly very Japanese humor. A bit repetitive with its samey-looking levels, but it's simple quick arcadey fun.
Highly recommended if you have a hacked 3DS and are looking for something a little wacky goofy silly to play for like 15 minutes.

On one hand, I think Sonic games don't end up being all that great platforming experiences. Like, the worst parts of the games for me are the parts where you're actively precisely navigating platforms in order to avoid death.
On the other hand, Sonic Mania is an excellent roller-coaster game.
