Pros:
Amazing characters (has some of my favourite character designs and art style in any video game), incredible soundtrack, great commentary on the music industry and interesting boss line up that is themed around a certain EDM genre.
Cons:
Switch version is quite wack in some areas, gameplay is a mixed bag, there are mechanics that shouldn't really exist and the ending left me confused.

Pros:
Outstanding and entertaining characters, simple but gripping story, amazing concept for a game, great with subtle and meta comedy, satisfying combat, one of the best boss line ups in any game I've played, memorable soundtrack and it reeks of punkish style.
Cons:
Some stages before a boss fight are quite boring, hard to read mini-map, the camera control is weird at times and the over world is quite dull and suffers from a lack of quality of life improvements.

Pros:
Has my favourite video game soundtrack of all time, characters are great as usual (except for some), Rose Nasty is fun af to use, some stages/bosses are honestly as good if not better than the original game and handles the theme of revenge in a really interesting way.
Cons:
Shinobu's entire section, Million Gunman, a confusing story that makes more sense when thinking about it overtime but it doesn't flow that well, weird pacing, gameplay that works but doesn't, fat enemies that knock you over 24/7 and some baffling game design decisions.

Pros:
Aesthetic, music, graphics and gameplay is still as satisfying as the original, really good character interactions and an outstanding first world and second world.
Cons:
Some extremely stupid plot points, mixed bag of bosses, underwhelming progression and side content, starts strong but gets weaker overtime with only a decent third world and a mediocre final world.

I am a sonic fan.

Pros:
New robot designs kick ass, some improvements over original (E.g. Kelp Forest lighting improvement), keeps the original's charm to an extent and I respect the fact THQ-N knew exact fan base behind this game.
Cons:
Unnecessary boss fight changes, various technical problems, bad multiplayer mode and the soundtrack doesn't fit the style of some areas like the original.

Pros:
I adore the world and the characters a lot, the gameplay is satisfying, the cartoony aesthetic is pleasing and TF2 SFM's on Youtube are still entertaining to this day.
Cons:
Trash community, isn't getting updated often and Valve sucks at handling this game nowadays.

Pros:
I like the gameplay, adding people to the various friend zones is satisfying and the story is pretty charming.
Cons:
Infuriating post game that is filled with 99 floor dungeons.

Pros:
Amazing concept, ironically and unironically hilarious, great claustrophobic atmosphere and stylish cutscenes.
Cons:
Some mysteries are bogus, awful protagonist, some really bland and annoying characters, couple exhibition dumps and sometimes insulting moments.

Pros:
Bonkers world with colourful characters (Big Band and Peacock are my particular favourites) and interesting lore.
Cons:
Aggregious character designs and animations that I still hate to this day. You can deflect criticism with "the main character / art designer director is female" all you want, they still knew exactly what they were doing and I don't know whether to cringe or tolerate it.
