I'd have easily given this game a 4 out of 5 like the original SMT 4 if the realm of YHVH was cut back by like, 75%, it's such an actual chore to explore.
My best recommendation for this game is: if you liked SMT 4's gameplay, give this one a playthrough, and stop at YHVH's realm, you'll spend half of the game's length entirely there and it's Awful.

This is, by far, the best SMT game for any new-comer to start with.
Very standard SMT plot with some of the better characters in the series.
Easier difficulty compared to other SMT games, gives you more time to familiarize yourself with the combat, but still not an easy game in general!
Wonderful atmosphere in ruined tokyo with fun side-content.
Actually one of the best OSTs of any video game, ever.
If you ever wanted to play an SMT game, this is absolutely the one to start with, it'll only make you excited to play the rest of them!

While I definitely much prefer Bloodlines over this one, this is still one of the best classic Castlevania out there!
Super smooth controls.
Fun level design that's Nowhere near as frustrating as the NES titles.
Absolutely banger music.
It's just incredibly good! If admittedly a bit generic and rehashes too much to truly stand out.
Still very much worth a playthrough if you like Castlevania games!

Another game I don't remember a lot of but one that I enjoyed quite a bit.
Defeating enemies by dancing is very amusing.

Another one of the 32X's highlights.
Zany visuals, adorable character designs (fuck the US coverart btw), and an oddball OST make it very fun to playthrough!
The gameplay is admittedly very simplistic, and the game is slow-based. But I think that works in its favour quite well, it's an incredibly comfy and laid back-game, almost as much as Tempo himself is funky, heh.
I'll have to dock half a star just for the game's final level though, while it's the most unique and pretty visually... having doors that teleport you to the start of the level is Very dumb.

One of the system highlights for the 32X for sure.
The visuals are gorgeous, the music is wonderfully atmospheric, the shmup gameplay is really fun and the weapons the game give you are quite unique!
It's certainly a bit difficult to know what you're doing at times, and the constant respawning enemies is something I wish wasn't there, but if you're able to push through its issues, you'll have a wonderfully unique and enjoyable game to experience!

You can definitely feel a lot of what Spark the Electric Jester ended up becoming starting to brew here.
From the experimental ways traditional level gimmicks are played with, the unique environments, the silly humor, it's all things Spark would end up expanding on, but this is very excellent all the same!
Oh and the soundtrack is fucking stellar, even if you aren't gonna play this one you should at least listen to its OST.

My memory of this one is quite vague, but I remember finding it very fun! If a tad basic.
I should definitely give it a re-play

Much like 16-bit triple trouble (or I guess the other way around since this released first), this isn't really a sonic CD fangame, it's a 3&K fangame with CD elements.
The level design is unfortunately quite weak, with a lot of dead air and straight lines with nothing going on.
What this game really excels in is its looks and especially its music, I love all the level themes and their respective tracks, and seeing them in the past and future is always incredibly fun!
I also quite enjoy the special stages in this one, they're very fun! But like others mentioned, 14 is quite a lot.
Still, this is a very good fangame, I'd recommend others play it!

It's not SRB2 by any stretch of the imagination but, it's honestly really good for what it is! I have a lot of fond memories playing it as a kid as well so, a bit of nostalgia is in play.
I like it!
I like it!
This is... honestly really fun!
The level design resembles the classic titles more, the character abilities are very fun, the special stages are some of the better ones in the series, and the level aesthetics are quite nice!
While I'd recommend skipping the first episode, this one is genuinely a treat! I quite like it a lot!

It's overhated, but also really average.
Incredibly in-offensive 2D sonic game.

I'm currently taking a break from this game from how rage-inducing it is.
It's still the single best Kart racer ever made.

This is easily one of the most important fangames ever made, being one of the First sonic fangames created and one of the best from its era, and of course... it lead to the creation of Sonic Robo Blast 2, one of my favourite games of all time!
Going back to it is definitely rough and, I'd recommend most people experience it through "SRB2 the past" instead since it includes it as a level pack.

Easily one of the most over-hated Sonic games out there.
The music is amazing, the aesthetic is Perfect for the era, the levels are super fun and unique, the controls feel wonderful once you learn them.
Easily the worst thing about this game is how pittifully short it is which... when the main complaint you have with a game that there isn't more of it, that's definitely a good sign.
