Games I Played in 2021 ranked

The Omoris, the Meat Boy Forevers, and the Florences in between. So I don't get too scorched, I'll only be adding games I played at least till the halfway point, or if it's a special case, like a multiplayer online game or Bubsy. Still a bad list for metroidvania fans, sorry.

Bubsy: Paws on Fire!
Bubsy: Paws on Fire!
The meme needs to die. Bubsy should have his paws set on fire for trying to make me play through the same 3 levels as different characters that either barely change from one another or flat out make it a boring space shooter.
Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time
Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time
Are you SURE there wasn't painful fluff that could have been removed?
Super Meat Boy Forever
Super Meat Boy Forever
There is disrespecting a classic, and there is spitting on the corpse and complaining about how it was too good. This game was cutting the corpse up and eating it in front of its children.
Crash Bandicoot: On the Run!
Crash Bandicoot: On the Run!
The absolute worst game that came out of 2021. A greedy cash cow in Bandicoot's clothing that is everything bad with mobile phone games these days.
