Coming up tomorrow: I'll provide an Essential Order list for Castlevania!
As you might expect, there will be some exclusions.
One of those will be Lords of Shadow, which I still feel is a Castlevania label slapped on a different game entirely.
And Lords of Shadow 2 is absolute trash.

WarGames is the ColecoVision's evolution of Missile Command with an escalating level of tension and multiple screens to monitor.
It's also an excellent adaptation of the 1983 feature film.
The Commodore 64 version is also a decent port. Both are worth playing!

A real-time strategy game similar to Missile Command, but with six geographic regions to watch and a timer counting down to your doom.

It's a short album set to 6 minigames with a fun art-punk style and 6 enjoyable punk rock songs.

Publishers/devs who fail to disclose genAI usage should be called out. It's crummy behavior in 2025.

I love Heart of Darkness. It's way too short and all about trial and error, but there is also nothing else quite like it!
It's an astoundingly original game from the creator of Another World/Out of This World, another singular game experience that's way too short for how awesome it is.

I love the idea of a JRPG 3.0.
But Metaphor, as much as I enjoyed it, ain't it. It's just comfort systems atop creaky old mechanics.
RPGs need to evolve past killing everything in sight to grow your characters. Skills should be acquired through thoughtful gameplay, not repetitive grinding.

I wonder if this "next phase" of JRPGs will see more of a blend of gameplay styles or more dynamic combat, like with Clair Obscur.
Or maybe Hashino just means he hopes to have Metaphor be one of the big RPG names like Persona.

The Hudson Soft NES game Xexyz is a hard one to define.
It's a little bit of everything tossed in a blender, complete with a nonsensical name and a theme that includes both sci-fi and fantasy elements (even fairies).
Even so, I enjoyed it, and it's worth a try!
