I can't tell you how many hours I put into THPS2 on the PC using just a qwerty keyboard. So to play it again, with updated graphics, and the mechanics of later games has been an absolute joy. I also missed out on THPS so in a way half of it felt like a new game to me which is just a bonus. For the longest time this was my 'dip in' game, racking up close to 100 hours.
Might be hyperbolic to say a game changed your life, but I played this at just the right time, and it sent me down the rabbit hole of JRPGs which has defined my last year or more of gaming.
The story struck a chord, the music is glorious, and I just had a blast exploring, completing quests, and being in that world.

It's gets a bit of a bad wrap for being the 'the long one'. But honestly I loved the short episodic nature of this adventure. Collecting the mcguffins, seeing these towns in the past, and going back to explore in the new present was always something I found really interesting. I have a lot of time for this game, not least because it was the game that got me back into hand held gaming.
