Free and fun roguelike 2D shooter with a cute art style. The game is pretty hard but it feels generally fair. Although the weapons are very distinct and interesting (and somethimes very bad), learning the enemies and especially the boss patterns is your main way of getting better runs. Worth a try if you want a challenge.

Nice Mario-styled platformer with a copy mechanic similar to Kirby's.
Visually, the levels look quite underwhelming, but the gameplay and level design are very enjoyable. Difficulty feels right and it's rarely frustrating. Finding ways to collect every star in each level keeps even the easiest ones interesting, and it's fun to explore stages to find different endings, which lead to different stages in the map.
There is a much harder version of the game called Tobari 2: Nightmare. It's sold separately and it's only for kaizo enjoyers, so if you're into extremely hard and precise platformers, maybe try that version instead.

Amazing shmup for beginners such as myself. Normal mode is accessible but still challenging, but there are much harder modes for experienced players. Level design is heavily inspired by earlier Cave games and feels very satisfying and well made. There are multiple selectable special weapons, which fit drastically different playstyles and heavily affect scoring routes. Scoring rewards the player with extends, forcing the player to engage in the scoring mechanics, which are a lot of fun. Visuals and music are great. I have nothing to complain about, Blue Revolver is a really well made shmup that any type of player can enjoy.

I lost all my friends but at least I got this sick footage.

"We have Ridge Racer at home", but home is in Scotland.

The game consists only of time trials, but it looks and plays great. Definitely deserves more attention.

Classic tactical RPG that holds up pretty well to this day. As someone that doesn't usually have the patience to play any older tactical games, the gameplay in Disgaea feels pretty fast. Building a team feels satisfying due to the many ways of increasing stats and how much unit customization there is (although not nearly as much as in the later NIS games). That's not to say the game is balanced, some classes are objectively inferior to others, and there is one post-game class that is simply better than every other in the game (including the main characters).

The story is better than I expected, it's fun and lighthearted, but has some very good and even emotional points. Part of that may be due to my expectations for it being relatively low, knowing it is a satirical game. I didn't expect actual character development and likeable characters among the humour and tropes.

There is some post-game content and very strong superbosses, but getting to them involves a lot of grinding, and figuring out faster ways to grind and power up your units. If you don't enjoy that, you might not engage with this part of the game. Either way, finishing the story can take about 40 hours, so there's still plenty of content in the main progression.

From the few tactical NIS games I have played, they have a very distinct and pleasant feel to them that I can't really put into words, but for that reason, I do recommend giving them a try.

Underrated simcade racer with very satisfying driving physics. The car selection, while missing some classics, features many underrepresented cars across many eras. Tracks don't try to be realistic, they are diverse, look great, and most importantly, are very fun to drive on (although I do wish the game had more Extreme-Khana tracks). Buggy class feels much more arcadey and less satisfying than the rest, but it can be avoided the player desires.

Unfortunately, to prevent game crashes, you have to avoid any multiplayer features such as the leaderboards and online career events, since the game's servers have been taken down, but contrary to some other reviews, as long as you avoid the online features, career mode works as normal.

This remains an amazing arcade racer. The gameplay is primarily focused on maintaining extremely high speeds by making use of drifting. In a modern racer that would probably be a bad thing, but in Hot Pursuit, the drifting feels similar to Ridge Racer Type 4 and Burnout, which feels very satisfying. The roads are varied and very fun to drive on, they're clearly crafted with the game's high speeds in mind. The car selection is mostly great, except maybe for the hypercar class, which could have used some extra variety. The online mode is still active and very fun, with no rubberbanding mechanic to artificially keep the players close to each other.
This Remaster also added the ability to create custom wraps for almost every car, which is always a plus.
Despite not having the most recent cars, the game holds up very well, and I recommend it to any arcade racer fan.

This is cool, but give us Burnout 3 and Revenge.

Cirno gets high on rocks and fights god.
