Rhythm Heaven Fever is the Fantastic Follow up to Rhythm Heaven DS and the third game in the Rhythm Tengoku Series.
I was excited when this game was first announced and what a wonderful experience it was. A truly beautiful experience that is sure to bring excitement and joy to all who play it.
The music is spot on as always with these games and the new Rhythm Games are as spot on as ever. This game is probably the best known entry in the series, and while its not my favorite, still stands tall against Rhythm Heaven DS.

Rhythmn Heaven for the DS, what an absolute blast.
This waa my introduction to the Rhythm Heaven/Rhythmn Tengoku series and it was absolutely wonderful. This game was one of my childhood classics and stuck with me pretty strongly over the years. I absolutely adore this game.
I also think it has one of the best and most memorable soundtracks in the entire series by far.
A wonderful experience and worthwhile play.

The first entry in probably my favorite Rhythm Game Series of all time, Rhythm Heaven/Tengoku.
This first game on the GBA, while shorter than some of the other Rhythm Heaven games, introduces a lot of recurring elements and truly solidifies the series from the get go.
The remixes in this one are pretty strong too! Remix 2 Remix 3 Remix 5 and Remix 6 especially stand out. It is an absolute blast to play.
This one really has a soft spot in my heart even if it isn't completely perfect.

An absolutely beautiful mobile gaming experience. If you enjoy Rhythm games of the Mobile Variety, this one is an absolute Gem, and stands tall above the rest.
The art work is simply gorgeous, and the music is wonderful. A spectal for the eyes and ears. The main narrative is also incredibly compelling.
This one, for the mobile platform, has high marks from me.

Streers of Rage 2, what an absolute banger of a sequel. The first streets of Rage was a classic, but it was missing something you know?
Then suddenly Yuzo Koshiro and his family came together to develope an insane sequel with better enemies, more characters, and a soundtrack that goes down as the absolute peak of the Genesis Line up in my personal opinion.
If you love beat um ups and have a few hours to burn, this is a must play.

One of my personal favorite death game/survival mystery type games.
In this game the mystery is less about who killed who and why and more about trying to solve puzzles and escape with all your friends.
The big divergence is, at the end of every chapter, there is a challenge or voting game that decides which characters will or will not survive. Some of these deaths are unavoidable. However sometimes...you get to choose which creates wildly varying paths.
The best part is this game is completely free, though currently unfinished. The final chapter will be releasing sometime in the next year or so though.

The second game in Itoi's great game developement journey.
There is a lot I love about this game, the music, the visuals, and even the story are all fantastic and make an incredible full package. This game spares no attention to detail and contains a lot of charming small details and odd interactions you wont find in most games. From riding the bus to the camera man who takes your picture every now again, I truly do love the smaller things about this game.
I will admit, as much as I love this game, it has a few issues that keep it from being a perfect 5 stars for me. Some segments of this game are incredibly difficult even by SNES RPG standards, and I think some sections drag on a bit too long for my liking. That said it is still a wonderful time with great music and charming visuals.

The game that started it all, Mother 1 aka Earthbound Beginnings is an interesting game with a deeply involved History.
I will admit this is my least favorite of the Mother games, a sentiment shared by many. However, I do not believe this is a dull experience or one worth skipping.
If anything this games developement, Itois life story behind this game and its content elevate it a bit for me, far above most NES offerings. Sure this game has its flaws, I will never say its perfect. Some segments are down right unfair like Mt.Itoi, but at the same time it has a lot to offer and really shows how far the series came going forward with Earthbound and Mother 3.
The music is also fairly exceptional for the NES/Famicom, and ill never take that away from it even if the narative isnt the strongest even for the era.

A surreal yet enticing offering from the great surrealist madman, Yoko Taro. This game has high marks for me.
The gameplay is wonderful, having been developed by Platinum Games. The action and boss fights are snappy and responsive. The music is gorgeous, some of the greatest of the console generation by far.
I personally think the story to this game is possibly its weakest point, but still a wonderful and dark venture into what it means to be a human.
Would I romecomend this game? Absolutely but with the caveat it isnt for everyone.

Probably one of the best story games I have ever played. It has an almost RPG maker feel to it, but the music and tone are phenominal.
I would recomend this to anyone who is okay with the idea of minimal gameplay, but high levels of story telling.
It really is an incredibly special game.

Now, I will admit, I am not the greatest of soulsborne players. It is very often a genre I am a bit fickle with. However, something about Elden Ring Clicked with me immensely.
The Setting was beautiful however, the sense of adventure clicked with me very few games have ever resonated with me before. It was an absolute blast to playthrough, so much so I not only reached 100% achievements, I clocked in a whopping 150 hours of playtime over the course of 3-4 months. It was an epic adventure I deeply enjoyed.
Some of the boss fights are my favorite in the fromsoft library and it is probably one of the few open world games where I appreciate the freedom of the entire experience.
It was a well crafted and beautifully designed adventure that I will not be forgetting soon, Ye Tarnished.

Ah Love-De-Lic, how short lived yet incredibly influential on a whole generation of developers you were.
This game is something truly special and a surreal experience best experienced on your own. The main concept and idea is that a young boy is playing a new RPG all day, but then gets told to get to bed by his mother.
However, when he falls asleep, he wakes up in the World of the RPG he was playing replacing one of the characters. It is an incredibly charming and wonderful little romp, taking no more then 20 hours to beat completely blind. It is well worth a playthrough especially if you have a switch, though I believe a PC port exists as well.
I wont spoil anything else beyond the premise but it is a wonderful time.

My personal favorite Top Down Zelda game. It is just an incredibly Vibrant game overall despite its short length and small scope (no puns intended)
I just genuinely love the art work, vibe and music this game has going. The Shrinking Mechanic also completely sells me on it overall. I am also one of the few people who doesn't mind the kinestones and actually enjoys the mystery they create through out the game. The Mysterious shells I can do without though.
The Dungeons are fun and don't over stay their welcome and I also like how charming the idea of reimagined regular enemies as boss fight are as well.
Probably one of my personal favorite GBA games overall out side of the Megaman Battle Network Series.

Is this game perfect? No. Is it an especially deep game? Not at all. But was it some of the best fun I have ever had a on a mobile device? Absolutely.
Onion games as a developer is one of my personal favorites. Made up of former love de lic developers, famous for games such as Moon Remix RPG as well as some of the lead devlepoers of Super Mario RPG, they went full inide.
This is so far one of my personal Favorite Endeavors for how off the walls bonkers it is, and just a really fun time overall.

From the creator of cave story comes a smaller yet no less fun adventure. Do I find this game as influential or deep as cave story? Not at all.
But is it a fun time? Absolutely, and it has a lot of replay value with the weapon upgrade system and multiple playthroughs.
The Story is simple but fun, and the music is on par with Cave Story in my personal opinion. It is hard to believe both these games were made by a single incredibly passionate man.
The game also includes a hard mode with its own story and a pretty hardcore finale on par with Running Hell from Cave Story if you were to ask me.
If you enjoy platforming action games, especially run and gun type games, this is a pretty great one.
