Nice to see LunarLux in the list. Its on mine, too.^^ And believe it or not, but Lufia II is a huge classic in my country. Anyway, here is my list: 1. Mass Effect (PS4): Finally gave this one a second playthrough. Was still lots of fun. Only the inventory-management is sucky. But the rest is great. It blew me away back in the day. 2. Paradise Killer PS4): Got myself the PS4-version, which was a good reason to give it another playthrough.^^ Still the best Exploration-Adventure! 3. LunarLux (PC): Very fun JRPG, which hit me by surprise. I couldn't stop playing it until I grabbed all the achievements. Hope we get a sequel which finishes the story. 4. Freedom Planet (PC): Pretty hard but very enjoyable Sonic-clone. And that comes from someone who doesn't even like the Sonic-games.^^ 5. Star Wars Episode I Racer (PC): Surprisingly fun future-racer whcih doesn't rely on its license. It is just a very fun game in itself. 6. MediEvil 1+2 and the PS4-remake: I just love the MediEvil-series. I can recommend them all, if you have a thing for fifth-generation Action-Adventures. The controls of these games were much improved from wonky stuff like Tom Raider. 7. Dread Delusion (PC): First Person Action-RPG with cool PSX-style graphics and a highly creative setting with lots of exiting discoveries. Was very surprised, that this depressing game concluded with a happy ending (at least based on the choices I made). 8. Tinykin (PS4): Very fun 3D-platformer with friendly difficulty and a cute idea. I don't like the weird storytwists at the end of the game. Those felt unnecessary. 9. Lost Horizon (PC): Slick Point & Click-Adventure which captures the magic of the old Indiana Jones-movies. It has a very likeable protagonist, too (which is uncommon fpr this genre). 10. Prodigal (PC): Very cool Retro-Zelda-style game with lots of optional content and slice of life stuff like marriages. Absolute hidden gem.
I've played a few of those. I think the first Mass Effecxt is very clunky, and I absolutely hate the vehicle sections. Its sequel was much better. I've played Paradise Killer as you well know, that game is amazing! Freedom Planet is great, I'm still not sure how I feel about the sequel though. Episode 1 Racer, really was a great game for its time, even though I'm only familiar with the worst version of it, it's surprising there aren't a million sequels to it, just sort of two-ish? I've always wanted to try the MediEvil games, i remember seeing a game in a magazine a long time ago I always wanted to play, but never knew what it was, but I think it might have been that. Dread Delusions was great, I'm glad I found it last year, even though my saves have been wiped so many times I never lost interest in exploring the macabre world! Tinykin was a fun mix of Pikmin and like Banjo Kazooie, it was a fun experience. I played a bunch of Prodigal, I really want to try the dev's next game, they seem to know how to make a solid retro style game.
Great list. Kenshi belongs to school of roguelikes know as story generators. Started with Dwarf Fortress, but popularized by Rimworld, Oxygen Not Included, most of Paradox Interactive games like Crusader King's and Stellaris. Hell even stuff like STALKER Anomaly/Gamma. Systems that don't railroad you, instead allow you to make your own stories.
I like stuff like that, and I've tried to get into games like rimworld before but I find their controls and systems to be overwhelming. But I would love to find more games like Kenshi!
I do like it too. I know the sword is tiny and the original version used bump-combat, but I still enjoyed it. As a youth I reached the end boss, but I’m way worse at it now. Music is a masterpiece anyway!

Sweet video my dude, as soon as you name dropped Jet Force Gemini I immediately went and got Automaton Lung. subbed.
I hope you enjoy its a great game of exploration and speculation, it meant a lot to me, finally getting to play it.
Great list.

Glad to hear you enjoyed Fire Striker! The concept and aesthetics are very nice indeed. And you play Lagoon music in the video, a sign of good taste!
Lagoon, and I have a complicated connection, but I liked it enough to make an award out of it, and its music could be very goo.
I do like it too. I know the sword is tiny and the original version used bump-combat, but I still enjoyed it. As a youth I reached the end boss, but I’m way worse at it now. Music is a masterpiece anyway!
