Considering that my favorite game ever is a Nintendo rail-shooter with both melee and ranged combat with gun, where you play as a flying boy that travels around the world fighting into a giant war, I decided to try this Nintendo rail-shooter with both melee and ranged combat with gun where you play as a flying boy that travels around the world fighting into a giant war.

Sin and Punishment was a beloved titles from the N64, and for various reasons: for the time the graphics were a spectacle the action is packed and the ability to istantaneously depending on the distance between you and the enemy is a great things that adds a lot.... even if it can feel a bit clunky compared to other games like Star Fox 64.

The story tries to take hitself so seriously, presenting a grim world where governments, terrorists and evangelion-like monsters go around killing the world population. But the confusing plot twists, lame ending, and horribly hilarious voice acting distracts you more than it should.
Not to mention that it kinda feels like some parts of the game feels just unfinished, either for an epilogue that kinda feels rushed or the overall lenght of the experience.

It is a solid title for the N64, though I feel it's is not the best the genre has to offer. I still recommend it, it's a good time if you got the Nintendo Switch Online.
