I love that Niddhogg 2, the most disgusting looking game of all time (feel free to @ me grosser games) uses Roman numerals to elucidate the fact that it is a sequel.

There is almost nothing you can do in this game. There is one mode that you can play against a computer, against a stranger, or against a friend. You seemingly don't earn anything and no new mechanics are introduced as you play.
And yet this game is a 4/5 because the one thing you do is so immensely fun. It essentially comes down to trying to get past your opponent or kill them trying. It is so pure and simple that most people I've shown the game were laughing or screaming within a minute.
The game reaches its peak when you kill your opponent on accident because they ran into your sword. Your grotesque Homer Simpson-esque avatar stands still as your opponent flails impaled with purple goo shooting out of their body.
It is such weird, freakish, goofy fun that I honestly don't get the video game player that doesn't immediately love this game.
4/5. Just wish there were more stages and costumes.
