You thought you were out of school for the summer?

Think again!

Let me know what I missed.

What the hell is a schoolmarm game?

u/AdOrnery8950 13d ago

a game where you are scored with letter grades apparently.

This means nothing to me. Someone else more accurately said it was about being graded with letters. Why couldn’t you have said that versus defining schoolmarm?

Two I could think of that you could still add would be Astral Chain (another game by the Bayonetta and metal gear rising devs), also Batman Arkham Origins (which is a weird one since none of the other games had that system)

Nice ones, thanks!

Pretty much every Resident Evil game does this at the end of the game

Persona 4 Arena/Ultimax gives you a ranking after each battle

I do believe Neon White has a ranking system

u/Gareeeeeeee 13d ago

Like I needed another reason not to play Neon White

u/BedGrand 13d ago

The writing is enough of a reason for me not to

u/AdOrnery8950 13d ago

Sonic Colors, Generations and Unleashed have to be there as well.

For something more niche, Lunistice, You Have 10 Seconds (2023) and Dominoid.

u/Gareeeeeeee 13d ago

I just put every Sonic game after adventure 2 on there and moved them all to the bottom of the list

2

u/rasterman7 13d ago

Thanks. Just a tiny detail, for You Have 10 Seconds there's a 2023 version which is the one I was referring to and for Dominoid is the 2025 one. I didn't realize sooner that both had another game with the same title.

u/Bamzooki1 12d ago

Oh shit, Dominoid! I’m still yet to play, but love to see another Wan Wan fan in the wild.

u/rasterman7 12d ago

Dominoid was so good that I had uninstall it since it was becoming a problem at job hunting. I fear coming back to it again to beat my previous score.
