I dug this out with the intention of traveling to another country to play the co-op mode with someone I've barely had any communication with, but then I got covid and had to stay home and play it myself.

I never had a PS1, got no nostalgia, but even so this still holds up as a solid little adventure with bags of weird charm. And it's so well suited to the DS, visually, structurally, atmospherically, it feels right at home. Shame we never got 2 and 3 on here as well, this would be my ideal way to replay them.

Also it's nice that I'm actually way more familiar with the remake, as this still holds a fair bit of mystery for me. I've probably got a few months before my next chance for co-op, so I'll be slowly battering through the various modes and going for all the endings and unlocking all the cool guys until then.
