Post games you enjoyed that you know aren't groundbreaking masterpieces but you also don't consider to be utter shit.

A good shooter, but nothing exceptional.
Very high difficulty packed in a particularly short game.
Most of the planes are completely useless, but the good ones are fun to use.
I could only clear the first loop.

An alright shmup, but not phenomenal.
Deceptively challenging given its length.
The majority of jets are worthless, but the good ones are enjoyable.
I never got through the second loop.

Pretty much the entire Ty series. Perfectly fine little mascot platformers. Didn't do anything particularly special, but they were enjoyable enough.

Whiplash would be such a better game if it didn't have so much time wasting filler. Like half of that game is just running through copypaste hallways and vents (which I'm not 100% convinced are actually hidden loading screens) and doing that door opening minigame before you can get to the good stuff, and then right before the final area you get forced to backtrack to every other area again for no good reason. That game is such an example of an eh 10 hour game that could have just as easily been a fun 5 hour game.

I thought this game was great, had a lot of personality. One of the better "mid" platformers of the generation

I enjoyed the GBA version quite a fair bit at the time, though kid me was never able to get past the rhythm boss fight.
Whenever I think of the phrase "pins and needles", my mind goes to the corresponding characters from Tak.

The only thing this game was missing was a good Licensed soundtrack full of early 2000s rock.

A reasonably competent Onimusha-ing of an ancient IP. Not memorable. No real reason to play it now.

Most people just score this as above average but personally it's one of my favorites SNES games. I like how deliberate and strategic it feels, it rewards careful play which is a cool change of pace from other games in the genre who tend to be more about swarming you with a lot of enemies.

Pic related is a game I loved as a kid and never beat. It's an ok beat 'em up + platformer, the soundtrack is the best part.

I loved this at the local arcade as a kid but I never replay it nowadays because the Strikers series is the same thing but better

Good ideas here and there and it's fun enough, but could've really used a sequel to sand off the edges

There's definitely a lot more love put into the Sonic Wings series compared to Strikers.
Sonic Wings celebrates and merges all of Video System's works and feels like an actual universe with its own reoccurring themes and characters. Strikers is harder and faster but it lacks the passion of Video System years.

They are still fine.
Like I said, they aren't going to win any awards, but if you were to go back and play them they'd be a good enough time. 2 probably does the most to differentiate itself from your average mascot collectathon platformer and adds some alright mecha stuff. I do still need to play 3 though. Maybe I'll start that after I'm done withSonic Boom Rise of Lyric... which I'm surprisingly not hating.

It's got some issues, including some incredibly amateurish glitches in later stages, but I still think it's a ton of fun and one of my favorite GBA games.

C-12 is a very competently done game and that's basically all you can say about it. It doesn't overstay it's welcome though and its just a fun 4-5 third person shooter with good voice acting.

This game is really painfully flawed but it was a good spin on the standard SH/RE style of game. Game would have been infinitely better as an RPG.

I wish the story wasn't so dead simple because they really had the bleakness of the Terminator post-apocalypse down and it could have made for a good world to set something deeper in.

Dunno if middle of the road is the right word to describe this game, or maybe divisive would be a better description, but man I have a real soft spot for this game.

I so desperately wanted to like this game because the visuals and music are fantastic, but any game that makes you play through 45 minutes of tutorials followed by an intro stage with an insanely tough boss fight has problems. There is such a thing as a difficulty curve and clearly these developers weren't aware of it.
