Picked this up not because of Backloggd praise, but because I heard some of Hiroshi Okubo's tracks in a DJ mix. I want the aesthetics to subsume my DNA.
1
Playing this on Nintendo Switch Online was dreadful. Playing with an actual N64 pad? Bliss, mechanical perfection. Zamn!
2
Surprisingly, even in my march to 100%, I never got bored or tired of marching across America. Though some decry the late game's ziplines for trivialising some climbs, getting to the point where you set up a zipline and maintaining that network is intensely satisfying. And the DualSense support!! Magnificent!

Started this up as my first foray into the X68000 and fell in love instantly. It is so rough around the edges that I couldn't recommend it to most, and parts of it aggravate the hell out of me, but this is a technical marvel, pure and simple. Loved it enough to get a CiB copy shipped over from Japan. Also presented an opportunity to work with Shmuplations as I've been researching more about this monumental game that gets no recognition in the West.
4
Pure fun through and through. I loved every second.
5
Not since Kingdom Hearts have I been so genuinely touched by something so painfully earnest. Immaculate.
6
Have been playing on and off since 201X but this year marked my earnest foray into 1CCing STG. I love the mechanics, the aesthetic, the music, the scoring. So satisfying.
7
Another perfect length Treasure treasure. The DC version is unmitigated fun.
8
It's Crimzon Clover again so I was onboard from the get-go. Arrange mode is a nice little addition, the cherry on top.
9
Adorable and the one of only two golf games my golf hating boyfriend has ever liked. When you're even cheering for your opponents, you know you've struck gold.
10
ON THE GWEEN
11
Simple but elegant.
12
We are not worthy.

See: Deathsmiles Mega Black Label

15
Perfect for semi-casual play thanks to its kinda busted mechanics. A pastel feast.
16
It's arguably better than SA1 in every way but it doesn't have the adventure field. So much of game though!
18
Holy shit they made Bust-a-Groove kick ass. The genre switches are dope and I love the idea of balancing your team's participation while still chasing score.
19
I don't even remember playing this but it must've kicked ass
20
Nobody on Earth will ever believe me when I say this is a superb game. But it's okay, because I believe me.
21
Broke in my soft-modded PS2 with this and it was a treat.
22
Good! I don't want to play anymore though because I don't care about the story I just want to get cool runs going.
23
Fuck me this is a long one but it's a technical feat and fun (even if it overstays its welcome near the end).
24
Perfect amuse-bouche. Played before they updated it at all and added lore or whatever and I'm glad for it. I don't need to know its particulars.
25
That combat sequence blows chunks but oooh the aesthetic oooh the vibes.
26
27
HOLY SHIT
28
It's no Picross but dammit, it stands on its own.

👾 E X C E L L E N T
30
It's cute! I don't really care about the story but taking pictures of animals? J'adore.
31
Put it in my veins
32
I can't fuckin' believe people don't like this game. Richard Jacques' Saturn OST is a dream. So gotdamn fun.
33
Only played it because of Soichi Terada's involvement but va va voom, I mean hubba hubba

Adored the characters more than any other Yakuza, and I love the focus on Japan's sex industry.

It's good and I got 21st in the world
36
Calum Bowen my beloved.
Oh also the game is cute and fun.

37
A tad belaboured but interesting enough for me to complete two playthroughs. Hope to see this refined in future.
38
Can't fuckin' believe it's (mostly) good.
39
Entirely too easy but it's so cute I can't hold it against it.
40
All my homies love Zonk and his ability to fire car adapters.
41
Life was better when companies made fun of themselves.
42
Wheeeeeeeee
43
Came for the house beats, stayed for the novel idea from Artdink. Fuck that last level though
44
HOLY DAMN
45
I don't know if I'm cracked or just attuned to bullshit but this was an easy 1CC that I will never replicate.
46
Finally, Magical Drop for cashiers.
47
What a goddamn phenom. Richard Jacques strikes it out of the park, we get Saturn Sonic models, and it plays great once you figure it out. The idea of an exploratory racer tugs at my heartstrings.
48
Not as good as DS or DSMBL and the switch to 3D is a massive downgrade but it is still Deathsmiles and as such it kicks ass. And it's Chrimbo!
49
Hamm my beloved.
50
By far the most unique tower defence I've ever played, I love the interplay between the towers and the cursor, and the faux-rivalry aspects it brings to the table. Plot is batshit and magnificent.
51
FUCK YEAH WINDJAMMERS
52
Holy shit imagine paying out the wazoo for a good but not great cute-em-up
53
The novelty of a new Build Engine game makes up for its shortcomings, which are plentiful.
54
55
HOT DAMN I love chore-centric games and this was a delight. More games need to focus on the parts of sports/real world activities that are generally omitted from their digital counterparts.
56
By no means amazing and I see why it failed its location test but it's an interest enough romp for a lil bit.
57
My lawyers have advised me not to speak on this game any further.
58
The switch to a sim-style of racing is almost entirely to its detriment but the soundtrack might be my favourite of any Ridge Racer and that is enough.
59
It's a clicker okay bye
60
Developers please remove the comedy from your games so I can gush about it without dropping a big fat 'but'
61
Neat-o! I wouldn't really call it /schizo/core but so it goes. Big fan of the game getting increasingly fucky wucky as you succeed.
62
Surprisingly fun even if you do have to see Chibipatra's toes constantly.
63
That they localised this is the most bonkos decision I've ever seen.
