Simon’s Quest doesn’t deserve to be called a bad game. The music and graphics are quite good for the NES and the open structure of the game was quite novel and many elements like the leveling system became staples of the series from SotN onward. The thing that really holds it back is the terrible english translation which makes the puzzles way harder than they need to be.

Nier Automata is one of my top 3 favorite games of all time but I agree with you. The beginning sequence sucks.

I can’t believe no one has mentioned Wildfrost! Just look at the artstyle. It’s incredibly cute but it also has a lot of strategic depth. Right now winning a run in the game is quite hard but in the beta branch they’ve just made it easier to win a normal run while also adding more challenge modifiers for those who want the challenge.

Would you like them to test on you instead?
