Are there any standouts on this list besides Killer is Dead?
(For those who aren't aware, Killer is Dead was a AAA-priced console title at release and the studio head behind it has a repertoire that's very similar to Kojima/Metal Gear Solid.)
If you like quirky, genre-defying games, definitely put that one in your cart.
River City Girls was fun. It's a gender-flip sequel to River City Ransom where the boys are kidnapped and their girlfriends fight their way through the city. Great music and good dialogue.
I bought it on Switch a couple of years ago but might pick up it and Killer Is Dead just to have them on Steam Deck.
I second River City Girls! I'd recommend spending equal-ish time using each character—you can create a huge level gap pretty quickly that can bite you when you decide you need the other character's moves for a boss. I've actually not played a game by WayForward that I haven't liked.
If you like the music to RCG, the artist is Megan McDuffee and she's done several other games as well as her own albums: links to all on her website meganmcduffee.com

I cannot agree more here. River City Girls has a fantastic soundtrack, and a couple of tracks with Megan singing are so good that they are on my Spotify lists in spite of being repetitive lyrically. Absolutely love Megan's work.
