#75: Mega Man 11

They made a new Mega Man, it was good, it sold well, and it modernized a bunch of stuff just enough for the hardcore fans (sup) to not revolt... and then never made another Mega Man again. This game is really solid! I look forward to an eventual MM12 but Mega Man might be in that weird spot where any release is just pandering to a boomer audience.

#74. Geometry Wars 2

This game is so 2009, and maybe the only XBLA game that didn't find its way to another platform. It must be some licensing thing. GW2 still slaps and the visuals are still really impressive 15 years later. One of the big draws of this game was competing on leaderboards and, well, nobody sane still plays this game at a high level. Still, it's fun to throw on for a few minutes and get your face blown off by the visuals. Kinda like Vampire Survivors, I guess? Actually, my first reaction on Vampire Survivors was that it felt like a dual stick shooter without having to aim. Anyway.

#73. Monster Train

Put this on mobile and it probably rises 40 spots. I just love playing these kinds of games on a phone. Monster Train is really good, kinda like Slay the Spire conceptually but also nothing like it thanks to its multi floor mechanics and different classes. It's nice as a palette cleanser when I've just played too much Spire.

#72. Street Fighter 2

An absolute classic, and easily a top 5 most played game in my lifetime, not to mention a top 5 most influential game. There's not much of a reason to play it these days, and if I do, I end up playing Super Turbo which is not my favourite (hyper fighting forever). These days, playing modern SF makes me feel like the oldest person in the world, so playing a game like 2 is pure comfort food. I just need someone at the same skill level and that's just never gonna happen.

#71. Hades

The combat mechanics are a dream in Hades. It's a lot of fun to build out your character and see the weapons pop off, and these devs have always been amazing at game feel, especially that roll. I never got deep into this game like I probably should have after I hit credits, but it's really good. Looking forward to Hades 2.
