Exit 8 is really cool. Love how this genre is evolving
I thought all star brawl was a flop, look how much it sold damn.
Sakurai really missed a trick after that.
How did he?
It was on sale for ¥100. That’s why I picked it up.
No Balatro?!?!?
I don’t think Japan is interested in that game not that it means it’s a bad game. If this were the west that game would definitely be in the top 10.
Minecraft game is my all time favorite. Happy to see its name on the list.
Happy to see the name of the Suika Game, I am also a user of this fantastic game.
