"Games I Thoroughly Enjoyed But Aren't the Kind of Thing That Comes to Mind When I'm Thinking of Games to Recommend" Tier

I might not be a huge run-and-gun fan, but I do love me some goofy movie references and time travel shenanigans. The game has you collecting heroes from across time to take down a time-traveling super villain, sort of like an over-the-top parody of Chrono Trigger. So while you start with a few regular soldiers, you end up with a skate-boarding dinosaur, Mad Max, Leonardo Da Vinci, and a buff machine gun-toting "Dolphin Lundgren". I had the PS4 version, which also included that guy from Order: 1886 (remember when that game was gonna be the next big thing?), the guy from Journey (which transitioned shockingly well to a run-and-gun game), and former Playstation president Shuhei Yoshida, who attacks by tweeting at enemies. Every character feels distinct and fun to play as.

Around like 80 spots ago I mentioned Bounty Battle, the indie crossover fighting game which got a bunch of hype, sucked, and then was abandoned. Brawlout is the opposite of that. It was very clearly Smash Bros. inspired in its gameplay and had an original cast of goofy characters, the cool thing about them being that unlockable costumes essentially made them entirely different characters with altered moves and aesthetics. The problem was, the game was just okay and the in-game currency unlockable system was absolutely terrible. But the developers took the many criticisms to heart, redid the unlock system from scratch, improved the gameplay, and added in more free content, including four new crossover characters. In the end it was a respectably fun party fighter that I got some good times out of.

Think Snake, but x1000 and with a much more interesting color scheme. And also not really like Snake at all, except for the fact that you're flying through the air as a weird worm thing. It kind of reminds me of LocoRoco in the way that it's just silly, bright and colorful without ever being anything much deeper than that.
