So good. I don't even need to mention how good the graphics and music are. That's all. Just a really, really solid game.
Possibly the greatest fan game of all time. There's a reason some people say it's a better Metroid game than Nintendo has ever made. The gold standard for remakes as well.
One of my most played games I always come back to, with a ton of nostalgia attached.

JJ calls Peter just to tell him to call the police, instead of calling the police himself.
2011
For some reason I feel weird putting a rating on this game, but it holds too much nostalgic value to me. I always come back to it and rediscover how much it actually rocks when you look past the cringe parts of the fanbase. The soundtrack is one of my favorites in anything ever.
2008
Such a weird, but extremely interesting game. Even though it requires a lot of personal speculation and interpretation, the story is absolutely fascinating and more than worth checking out, and is more than a masterpiece of atmosphere alone. Oh and the OST is banging.

Gameplay sucks both dick AND balls at all times and actively detracts from the experience imo (even on Safe Mode), but other than that, I can totally see why this game is as highly regarded as it is in its small but devoted fanbase. Very introspective story with some of the best moral choices I've ever come across and an absolutely chilling ending. Didn't personally vibe with it entirely but I will immediately acknowledge that it is definitely great.

Beautiful story and my favorite atmosphere in gaming history. Please play it I beg of you.
Dragon Quest 1: Adorable little game. Gameplay and story are nothing special (though its literal open world style is definitely impressive for the time), but you have to remember that this is the game that inspired pretty much every RPG after it. It definitely gets by on its cuteness and charm alone. The music is also delightful. I was smiling for the whole game. 4/5 stars.
Dragon Quest 2: Significantly less charming and more boring than 1 was, but I still thought it was okay. I can see why people don't like it at least. Still very grindy, and the dungeons are awful, but the battles are better than 1's, and the music is still really nice. Fine game, probably won't think about it ever again though. 2.5/5 stars.

Solid game. Even the worst stages, like 5', have fucking baller music so you can never not have fun. Maria is absolutely unplaytested levels of broken but in a fun way.
Favorite Castlevania thus far besides the original. Absolutely addicting the whole way through and never stops being fun. Ain't perfect but I greatly enjoyed my time.
1998
For my first (real) RE game, I am very pleasantly surprised. This game is nothing but fun the whole way through. Not perfect, but a very good exercise in routing, planning ahead, and risk vs reward. I enjoyed it so much I did all four campaigns in a row.
I cannot express with words how much pain this game has caused me and I would not wish even a single run of it upon my worst enemy. It killed all of my friends and family and everyone I have ever loved. And the best part is that Legends is actually worse.
The final boss sucks dick, balls, and ass all at once, but aside from that, this game is... surprisingly very good. The level gimmicks are honestly quite well implemented and the soundtrack is baller.
2002
My favorite gameplay of all time. It's masterful from beginning to end (with both characters) combined with some of the best atmosphere and most beautiful backgrounds ever make for one of the easiest 10/10's I have ever given. One of my new favorite games.
