One of the first game I ever played and one of my favourite from my childhood, and it still holds up to this day. Great art, sound design and atmosphere, the game speak system is (almost) as fun to play around with at age 31 as it was at age 9, great and varied puzzle platforming. While this is only my second full replay as an adult I actually enjoyed it more this time. Last playthrough I wanted to 100% it, something I never did as I kid (mostly because the game always froze up at a specific part on disk 1), and used a guide to do so. While I glad I did that, playing without a guide is so much more enjoyable, and I was only missing 9 at the end (I believe I remember one specific secret area I missed on disk 1). Overall one of my favourites as a kid remains one of my favourites as an adult. I want to give it 5 stars for nostalgia but a 4.5 better summarises my feelings of this specific playthrough.
