I was mainly only using this for the convenience of cataloguing games because the review part is somehow even worse than MAL but you know, I actually forgot about the site by now

It's kind of strange how this is the highest rated game of all time, yet still manages to often be undercredited. I think a lot of people I come across now don't realize how much of the groundwork this laid for 3D action games as a whole; Devil May Cry is essentially a Z-Targeting game, Souls combat is basically 3D Zelda (except worse, lacking the creative interactions OoT offers through item usage), etc
Every time I replay this and expect that maybe my opinion of it would be weathered by time, I always find that contrarily, the older I get the more I appreciate it. Gameplay, presentation, and story are all great.

Perhaps the best execution of the LMBS. If the goal of Tales is a JRPG with deep fighting game combat Destiny DC may be the closest it got to realizing that

DMC1 isn't without its flaws but you have to consider it was a groundbreaking game, one of if not the first of its kind. And you know, it's not just good on the condition that you specify the context of when it came out. It's a satisfying action game. 21 years on and there's still more depth in this than most recent games in its genre. Not to mention, the atmosphere remains the best in the series.
