The SEGAbits Swingin' Report Show LIVE – Our Favorite and Most Disappointing SEGA Games of 2021

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE-pjvCz7AQ

As for me, my 2021 favorite is Persona 5 Strikers, the game is fast, stylish, and fun to play.
Better than the turn based prequel, Persona 5 OG/Royal, since it's faster.
The most disappointing is Hatsune Miku Colorful Stage since it's announced to be released globally but turned out it's not released on SEA territory.
I don't care anymore whether the game is good or not, the hype is gone. I'll stick to Idola Phantasy Star Saga for mobile gaming.
