The selling point of this game, the Wild Area, really ruins the game in hindsight. ALL the Pokemon in the game, outside of intractable ones, show up here at one point or another. This really ruins Galar as a region in terms of exploration. Not even the DLC is really enough to make me go back to it.
2007
Super fun monster fighting game that's undefeated to this day in that genre. Wish there was no waggle, though.
A straight-up fun monster mash.
This is a solid Resident Evil game that's genuinely frightening and with some of the best 3D on the console.
It's short and sweet with a good story and a fun protag.
A hidden gem for the GBA with lots of humor and great music you'd expect from the series.
A fine monkey ball game marred by its infamous legacy. The levels are great, though not nearly as good as the first game, and oh no, there's a jump button. It's good, not the best, but not the plague people claim it to be.
The definitive monkey ball game that will provide hours of fun. Excellent level design with a good level of challenge.
1996
A great building block for later and better games in the series while still being fun in its own right.
Mindless fun but too bare bones for a GTA "clone."
It's Crazy Taxi, but with The Simpsons
1981
A fun arcade game for the time and still good to hit up in arcades, but it does get repetitive, especially the North American version, which really makes you work to see all four levels.
1985
Better platforming games have come out since, but this one laid the groundwork. Still fun to pick up and play 35 years later.
Persona 4: Dancing All Night takes place in a small town in Japan that is plagued by weird happenings. The main character and his friends investigate the bizarre happenings about the town, which all lead to the doorstep of a serial killer that, contradictingly wants to live nothing more than a quiet life. The gang is tasked with restoring normality to this crazy, noisy bizarre town.
1984
I'm told that the C64 version of JSW isn't as good as the Spectrum original, but having compared the Speccy version to what I played it seems similar enough. I don't know what to say about this game, it's really strange, but also really funny. That said, not a fan of the gameplay, but platforming games on single button computers never seem to feel right regardless.
This game, like many early Microcomputer and Atari 2600 games, requires an imagination to play, and given all the weird stuff happening on screen, I think that may be the most important aspect going into this game.
It's a classic for it's time, but it sadly hasn't aged as well as Jumpman or Bruce Lee.
