A mysteriously-slated game that doesn't deserve the hate it gets, a great sequel to the original game.
This is my fifth playthrough of the game and I still think it's incredibly well paced, has great setpieces, great combat and a great story. I also still don't know why the themes of class consciousness are muddied by making them specifically about race relations, it makes the theme a bit confusing, but it's a minor qualm.

I've finally beat this game, and honestly, I think I've come to realise why I never beat it before, in all honesty it might be a little bloated. Maybe 'bloated' is the wrong word, but it took me, like, 27 hours to finish this game, and I remember maybe 10? It's got a lot of running in a straight line and repeating tasks and stuff you won't remember any time outside of in the moment, but this might just be a personal gripe because I'm used to blasting through games like this in a weekend.
The other issue is one of hindsight, in some ways it's a hard game to play now just because of how influential it's been over the last 20+ years.
Anyway, unsirprisingly the game is good, great even! Each area feels unique, it's got a couple of moments of really stand-out art design and--
Is any of this even worth saying? Like, I made sure to start with the weaknesses because this is maybe the most praised game ever, and for good reason, it's a fantastic game.
I'm excited, and a little nervous, to play Majora again, because now having played this I wonder how I'll feel about that game.
I'm torn between an 8 and a 9, I really want to stick it on 8.5, but I suppose I'll low-ball it and maybe change it after playing Majora again.
Glad I've finally experienced all of this piece of history!!

Fantastic and refined platforming mechanics, a great soundtrack and a solid story.
2017
I'm not sure why this game is quite as loved as it is, after playing Cuphead I tried this and thought that, like with that game the clunk would wear off as I played.
It doesn't.

Flawed but fun. I don't know if I could ever really call this game 'good'.

If you don't think 3 is the best dark souls game, you NEED to stop, you know what I'm talking about.

Ok let's be honest with ourselves, there's a few redundant levels in here, but this game was truly revolutionary in ways people still don't appreciate.
2013
This game didn't deserve the ridiculous amount of love it got at launch but it doesn't deserve the hate it gets now, this is a great game, on the same level as Uncharted 3, but the incongruity of cutscenes and gameplay and the times when the game slows down do pull the game down somewhat.

Metal Gear Solid?
2012
I am a huge simp for this game. The brutal gameplay, the instantly recognisable aesthetic, the pacing of the story, it's so good, and of course the soundtrack is the icing on the cake.
2018
A great adaptation that doesn't feel like it's trying to tie into anything else, the gameplay is great, the story is great, the DLC is a little weak but just don't buy it, a must-play for PS4
2019
What the fuck why is this game so good? How did it manage to make a zombie game, and moreover a Resident Evil game (that isn't 7) scary?
I don't know why this game exists but I'm glad it does.

With Bloodborne, FromSoft found the perfect balance with their signature difficulty, between toughness and actually being fun. For this reason, this is the best DS game, with the best gameplay, best art design and best everything in the series.

The original (good) looter-shooter and the best one too. This game is really only as good as it is when played in coop, the amazing villain somewhat carries it in single player but as the writing has aged it no longer cuts it.
