/vr/ - Retro Games

My ranking of the not-retro classics and Xs...
Classics:
4 - peak, game is very well balanced and perhaps vest implementation of Charge Shot on first go
6 - experimental and easy, but screw it, it's just a fun romp and a worthy closure to the hexology
3 - this game tries so hard it's hard not to like it, kinda slogs with the Doc crap but hey MEGA DOG
2 - definitely a step up from the first game but it still had a ways to go to perfect the formula
1 - the baseline, very cool
5 - the only one I might consider mediocre if not bad, enemies and weapons not thought out well, very uninspired, you can tell they were burnt out
Xs:
X1 - if the classics can hit a peak, this one's in the clouds
X2 - more of the same, which isn't necessarily bad, still a solid
X4 - good boss design, cool story bro
X8 - very well designed, but held back by gimmick stages
X6 - hear me out, this isn't the worst game in the world if you can take a challenge, even a crappy one
X3 - generally an unfocused experience, feels like a bootleg compared to the previous ones
X5 - utterly boring, wasted potential, no wonder they continued the series past its "conclusion"
Overall:
X1 > 4 > 6 > X2 > 3 > 2 > 1 > X4 > X8 > 5 > X6 > X3 > X5
X7 either doesn't exist and everyone is playing the biggest joke on me, or I have repressed that memory.
