I wanted Rive to be a good game.
Stardust Galaxy Warriors: Stellar Climax goes above and beyond when it comes to crazy shoot 'em up action.
Oceanhorn is an interesting game for sure.
Livelock is a solid online twin-stick shooter with some well done features yet it also suffers from some serious problems.

King Oddball is a silly game that's fun for the short amount of time that it lasts.
Dogos is a big step up from Project Root.

MeiQ: Labyrinth of Death does a lot of things right but it also sets the genre back in many ways that take away from the overall experience.
Touhou Genso Rondo: Bullet Ballet features a fantastically implemented mixture of two genres.
Solar Shifter EX is quite possibly the worst shoot 'em up that I've ever played.
Absolute Drift is a difficult game to recommend.
As an existing fan of Doug TenNapel's previous work, I'm very happy that Armikrog is finally available for console.
Strike Vector EX is such a solid game that it makes me wonder why more developers aren't exploring the genre.
Even though The King of Fighters XIV has less than stellar graphics and an empty promise of being more accessible, it's still chock full of fantastic fighting that fans will love every second of.
Mario Sports Mix is just what the title suggests: a mix.
Bears Can't Drift is a cute game that would have been very enjoyable if it had more straightforward tracks and far less bugs.
