But I don't like 90s aesthetic! And yet so many greats are 90s.

34-Bloodstained Curse of the Moon
35-Bloodstained Curse of the Moon 2
IGA proving how influential he is, but also kudos to the entire teams from bringing back Castlevania to today. I'd even count ROTN's classic modes as separate cause they're that good.

31-River City Girls
32-River City Girls 2
I will never forgive IGN for almost sinking the team behind these games. Yes, it's just a review. But Neon was the best of modern Double Dragon.
RCG at least more than made up for lack of Neon 2.

Be it age or plain shifting preferences of the times, it's sad I don't play more multiplayer games with progression. And both of these were loads of fun.

24-Ori and the Blind Forest
25-Ori and the Will of the Wisps
Divisive, and I can see why. My main problem is with the sequel overheating my old GPU. WTAF!?
Anyway, I liked the 1st one enough and the 2nd IMO is better despite that problem. Visually both are beauties.

Early experience, and feels somewhat personal on a parasocial level. Coming from Newgrounds, it could've been so much worse. But Newgrounds is a place of fun and creativity, and this has both.

Souls-like Metroidvania are a thing these days. 2 of the most poorly named genres... *cough*
Anyway. I didn't feel it was too difficult. Certainly punishing, so like most souls-like experience.

Another metroidvania. I can't call it special but it's precisely why I love the genre, badly named as it is.

Funny story: I only got it cause my friend wasn't a fan in the least. Tbf, I kinda get where they're coming from. But not even a toxic fanbase will keep me away from this one.

First roguelike of the list. It's a love-hate relation for me when it comes to the genre. This one drew me in with the pixel art.

Difficulty is satisfying, but you will be challenged. At least you have the option to "cheat" if it feels too much, and it did for me at one point.
