badfinger is the only one that has all the elements to be clone, just having local harmonies like some of the other ones isn't enough I'm pretty sure the Knickerbockers was the inspiration for "That Thing You Do"

Kid Chameleon getting whooped, these kids and their rogue-likes I’ll tell ya

To be fair, they did dump the real money auction house by the time it hit consoles. It was pretty easy to get into for some quick drop in/drop out multiplayer. But yeah there are a host of other issues and a whack story, that make it not really worth replaying.

Let's go!

Pretty meaty 7 hour demo. Progress carry on to full game. Anyone check it out?

some bits are good, some bits are head scratchers, a real mixed bag

Another Kart Klone It’s cool that you can race land, sea, and air. But everything else about it feels really uninteresting from characters to weapons to tracks. Adventure mode is a nice addition, but it is ruined with busy work filler like the silver coins challenge, which rehashes the same content just to pad things out.

I don’t think hockey games really have original bangers if you don’t count the “jock jams” to get you hyped. I could be missing something, but there isn’t a moon theme or dr wily stage 1 for shredding ice. Most of the ost is generic fanfare and ambient sounds

Sonic in Christmas Nights almost made up for not getting a proper Sonic game on

Underated banger

Palworld

It was good, but Castle Crashers was a blast

I played thru it just over a year ago. It is a good title, but the level design takes a hit. Instead of an interconnected world, it is broken down in about 20 or so bite size areas, most of which are very basic with little room for exploration. Heck a couple of them are just a straight hallway. The last third of the game is a rather meaty castle, which makes up for a lot of the early filler areas.

Aria and Dawn are fantastic. Almost as good as SotN. The ability to use enemy skills is a lot of fun to experiment with, makes you want to find them all.
