I'm not generally a fan of difficult games, where you fail again and again and you have to repeat the same level to figure out what you're doing wrong and how to improve. But here, nearly every time that happened, I had a smile on my face. When you fail, you almost always know exactly what went wrong because this game is very fair and satisfying to learn. I had a lot of fun with Thumper and it deserves a special shoutout for its absolutely mesmerizing visual style.

Thumper is such a unique game you will probably never find one like this. It is a fast paced rhythm game where you dodge obstacles to get to the final bosses and go for a high score. The visuals are amazing with the bosses being so well created. The levels gradually increase with difficulty and speed, making it a great challenge, especially going for S rank. The music is so well built with the obstacles and how sync and satisfying it all is. Thumper is such a great hidden gem I recommend everyone to try out!

Ever wanted to be an Egyptian scarab fighting drug-trip-induced shaman masks whilst going down a roller-coaster track at +500 km/h? Well you're in luck pal, 'cuz this game provides you with just that experience. Would recommend playing it with friends too, can easily become a good drinking game. 1 death = 1 sip. 9/10.

It's a great game to play when upset. Because there is no RNG, just the same patterns you have to hit with precision, you can enter a zen like state. As you repeat a level to get S rank your muscle memory and reflexes improve and since you are focusing so much on the game it takes your mind off what was annoying you, as well as providing a sense of fulfillment after you complete a few S ranks.

The best game about being an angry beetle that I know of. Note that it's not really a traditional rhythm game, though a good sense of rhythm will help. Also, this game is surprisingly emotionally intense for something this abstract. Specifically, the emotion is anger. I don't mean the usual 'this is unfair/broken' anger. I mean the game is about being an angry beetle in an angry world and it conveys that vibe exceptionally well.
