Is this an ad for Backloggd?
On a serious note, there’s a happy middle ground between my favorite genres and the highest rated games, and this is typically where I have the best experience.
Examples: Bayonetta, Guilty Gear Plus R, or more recently: Hi-Fi Rush.

lol, I sure didnt want to make an ad without getting paid for it. +R mentioned, nice, but I dont think I get what you mean by those games being a happy middle ground

In a hypothetical three-layer scenario:
1. Highest rated games, regardless of genres. (RDR2, The Last of Us, Portal… etc.)
2. Highest rated games, that happen to belong to my favorite genres. (Bayonetta, GGPR, Hi-Fi Rush… etc.)
3. Games that belong to my favorite genres, but aren’t necessarily highly rated. (Hellsinker., Soulstice, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax etc.)
Highest rating doesn’t guarantee I’ll like anything in layer 1, and not every game in layer 3 ends up being good enough. Layer 2 is the happy middle ground and the highest chance of finding games I’ll enjoy.
Ayyy, let’s go. Who do you main?

I have my eye on three: Order Sol, A.B.A., and Venom but Im still a total begginner, and trying to not put the game back in the shelf again like a few months back.
Still I do look at it highly because high-level gameplay looks awesome

It’s one of those games where the power level is so high that almost the entire roster is viable. You really can’t go wrong with any of the 3 characters you named. All powerhouses in different ways.
