One of the most fun PC games of its era. Motocross Madness 2 is a proper follow up to the first, featuring various modes where you can either focus on racing, doing stunts, exploring the levels & more. The only downside to this game is that it lacks a soundtrack, other than in the opening cinematic. But, this can be easily remedied by putting on your favorite tunes! This game also features the absolute best strategy ever used to keep players from going out of bounds. I'm not spoiling it, go see it for yourself, it's completely worth it.

Easily one of the strangest games I've played, and that's one of the reasons I love it. Simply put, Pepsi-Man is another hidden gem on the PS1 based on the titular superhero who runs around on a mission to quench people's thirst for Pepsi before all hell breaks loose. The game plays similar to the endless runners of the modern age. While it's not endless, it's honestly more fun & more challenging than most endless runners, at least as of the time I'm writing this. The only massive mistake this game made is not releasing outside of Japan. The game is entirely in English (minus the Japanese subtitles), is a lot of fun & had the potential to be a modest success worldwide. But alas, better played late than never. It's weird, it's fun, it's Pepsi-Man.

While this game isn't the best in its era or its series, this game gets more hate than it deserves. This game is very different than just about any other game in the Sonic series, swapping out the traditional 2D sprites & perspective for pre-rendered 3D sprites (think Donkey Kong Country) & an isometric view akin to Sonic Labyrinth, but thankfully nowhere near as dreadfully slow. Both the Genesis & Saturn versions have their charm, each featuring a unique soundtrack, more or less detail depending on the console (nothing too drastic) & a different type of special stages. I personally prefer the Saturn version. While the game isn't as speedy as the Sonic most are familiar with, as long as you can get over the isometric perspective & slightly odd controls, it's worth checking out.

Easily one of the best games in both the platforming or Metroidvania genres. The way this game's levels are designed with almost every transformation in mind is absolutely brilliant & definitely plays into its replayability. The base game gives you a game with a great story, superb gameplay & a fantastic soundtrack. The DLC or "Ultimate Edition" is well worth the investment, adding multiple new modes & characters, each with their own story & unique abilities, resulting in many hours of additional content. This is another indie gem that shouldn't be overlooked!

This game should be played by everyone, at least once. While LSD: Dream Emulator admittedly isn't for everyone, it's one of the most unique & trippy experiences you'll find in gaming and is sure to get an interesting reaction out of the player. It may seem pointless on the surface, but everything in the game is vaguely linked together based on the locations you visit, things you observe and what texture they're displayed in (yes, the textures change & have meaning behind them). This game is entertaining while sober, but it's even more fun while under the influence of your favorite substance, no matter if it's booze or weed. Replayability is based on how fascinated you get with the game's world. I've been playing the game on & off for six years and I still find new things almost every time I play. As I said before, everyone should play this game at least once.

I'm pretty shocked no one has reviewed this game on here yet. But, I'm happy to do the honors, because this game is a masterpiece. This game features some of the most satisfying gameplay I've ever come across, but that's not all. The word "incredible" can be used to describe a number of details about this game, including the plotline, action sequences, music & more. Anyone who played & enjoyed the first will love this one, and even if you didn't, you're in for a treat. This game blew my mind when it originally released on Wii U & it's even smoother on Switch. Don't miss out on this game!
