One of my top 5 games of all time probably. The combat is fun and fluid, and the environments are beautiful, but the MUSIC is what takes this to the next level. Absolutely one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard.
This may be my favorite castlevania game. It's still got that retro feel, while not being as deathly punishing as the NES trilogy. Movement and attacking feels slick and responsive and the levels are all spooky and atmospheric. Plus 10/10 boss fights as well.
