No matter how bad a Sonic game is, you can at least count on the music being good.

it's been a while, but iirc, some of the boss fights were fun in True Crime: New York City.

I also liked how disgusting it was when you launched a cow at someone in the South Park Nintendo 64 game.
Don't you agree, Zach?

I really enjoyed a lot of little things Kung Fu Chaos for the Xbox did. I enjoyed watching the match afterwards with the special effects, and some of the mini games were actually really exciting.

Sword/Shield didn't have any good bangers imo

Scarlet/Violet had a ton of great tracks tho.

But I liked Scarlet/Violet

Kinda disagree though, I think that music is bad too

But I DO like the opening screen

God of War 2005 - The ship ride. It's actually very briskly paced and ends in a decent, action set-piece boss fight. The rest of the game, by comparison, is a tedious slog and there's only two more bosses. The fun ends pretty much as soon as the first minotaur appears.

I liked that Dark Souls 2 actually had massive differences in its NG+ cycles to actually make going through it worth it. New enemies and new drops. I never find myself caring about NG+ in most games since you already start off maxed out with all the best shit.

Well, I guess calling DS2 a bad game is a stretch, but at the very least I personally hate it and it's usually called the weakest of the series.
I disposed of doubt long ago.
This will be a day long remembered.

The old school Yugioh games are grindy janky fuckfests with the GOATest art direction and music.

White Day has some genuinely great scares and fun boss fights.

Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers lets you turn into a super saiyan schoolgirl. That's amusing. >_>

There was this early PS2 JRPG called Okage the Shadow King. It is not a great game, but it has one great moment. It has this meta joke after the prologue ends that always makes me laugh. When the silent protagonist suddenly speaks... Or does he.

the Friendship/Rivalry mechanic in Dragon Age 2 was a great variant of the typical binary say what companions want to hear until they like you or be a dick to your companions because youre evil morality systems that Bioware games usually had. getting a companions Friendship came at the cost of enabling their worst traits while earning their Rivalry meant they disliked you but were changing because of your influence.

Also changing dialogue based on the responses you made Hawke give so he'd say nice, saracastic, or mean things in cutscenes on his own was also a nice touch.
