I don't see this game getting on anyone's best of lists, but it's a totally serviceable beat 'em up. There are plenty of characters to unlock and play as in the 5-6 playthroughs you will need to complete in order to get 100% achievements. The presentation is fine: Both the graphics and music are simple and colorful and catchy.

In the Double Dragon pantheon, I'd put it below DD Advance, DD 2 (NES), DD Neon and DD (NES), but riiiight above Super DD and way beyond anything else.

I 100%'ed the trophies in 6.9 hours, but I still want to play to get higher spots on the leaderboards. This game is really well put together. You can tell the developer had a clear scope in mind and they hit it out the park. A wonderful Sega Rally-style arcade racer.

A great remaster for a truly underrated hidden gem from the late nineties. Visual fidelity and controls are way better than any previous versions. The added areas, enemies and bosses are all welcome additions. Please play this game!

Ys is a great series of mindless popcorn anime ARPG. I think I liked the cast of characters and the setting in 8 better, but this game was still plenty of fun. Two thumbs up!

Puzzling mechanics that are a lot of fun to suss out. Finding quotes from books I've read in the past makes me feel smart. Highly recommended!

No one does Picross like Jupiter.

These games are fine and M2 does great work presenting them as well as possible. Please please please put out a Symphony of the Night/Rondo of Blood collection on Steam!

Funny meme game of Fall 2022 is pretty great for what it is. Playing the trombone is awkward and goofy. Lots of accessibility options make it easy to jump into. I don't see how you can get the true ending without a guide, but it's still a fun experience.

Frog Detective 3 caps off a wonderful trilogy of goofy little adventure games. It's got a great sense of humor, callbacks to previous titles, and a where are they now type ending scroll. Couldn't ask for anything more.

Great great Indie Action Japanese RPG, can't recommend it enough.

Content warning: The game gets to borderline levels of offensive horniness about 4 chapters in, but quickly moves on. I'm glad I pushed through because the story goes to some very fun and unexpected places.

Also please do yourself a favor and play the game on Difficult or harder. I couldn't get enough of the game and ended up 100%'ing the content, but missed out on the final couple achievements because I played on Normal.
