Mega Man X3
X3 I've played by far the least of the original 3 X games. Playing through it once again It's pretty clear as to why. All the new ideas that are introduced feel pretty underdeveloped. Ride armors, for example, are really underutilized. The bosses really fail to stand out and I don't look forward to fighting any of them. The same could be said about the stages. I never liked the soundfont change from X1 to X2, but this game hits a halfway point between the two that I don't think reaches the highs of either. There's still a banger here and there though.
The golden armor is one of the cooler final upgrades as well as the ability to get the Z saber, but getting these things can be cryptic. The buster upgrade by itself is arguably worse than the normal buster because of the way it functions. It messes with your controls and the benefits of using it are not nearly as good as older buster upgrades.
At the end of the day it's still an X game in the OG engine so I love to play it.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
I don't feel like much needs to be said about this game at this point. Really impressive what they managed to pull off in the transition to 3D. Obviously not without its flaws but all things considered they're pretty minor.
The game feels like an adventure from front to back with the highlights being the temples and bosses. The world design in this game I always found a bit strange because it's ultimately a bunch of more interesting areas connected to a huge empty field. The vastness of Hyrule Field is important to the feel of the game, especially when you first arrive, but there's very little to actually see and do in it. Side areas are interconnected where they need to be but not always in useful ways. This is only really an issue when you're travelling around a lot but not so much when you just follow the main path.
I went for 100% this time around and didn't find it all that rewarding. The skulltulas are the biggest undertaking and there are too many for the reward to be worthwhile. I don't think you're really expected to get much more than 50 though in a normal run.

Common criticisms I strongly disagree with.
X6 is so horribly offensive to me that I would claim it's among my least favorite games ever created. But still, there are people that will defend it like this and make me feel like I didn't even play the same game. It's like the cilantro gene for X games. Just inconceivable for me.

Resident Evil 3
Before playing this I couldn't really understand how it could be badly received when it has the bones of the RE2 remake. They did it well the first time, so why not again? Now I understand.
It really does feel like they didn't want to go above and beyond for this one and the result feels more like a really solid DLC for RE2 remake rather than its own full sequel. It seems to be entirely linear and lacking in interesting puzzles. The story is really predictable and doesn't stand out at all. The game likes to throw large groups of zombies at you at once in lieu of more interesting encounters. I'm actually mostly fine with how it's structured until the end where enemies are at their most annoying. The boss battles are not great which isn't necessarily a surprise, but there are some uniquely bad ones here.
I knew absolutely nothing of 3 other than Nemesis exists before this, so I am totally unable to make comparisons on that front. I get the impressions that Nemesis is all this game has going for it as far as memorability goes.

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
Definite improvement over the first game in my opinion. Biggest improvement for me is the controls, although I really hated climbing on ropes. Last game's soundtrack was good but the soundtrack for this game is peak. Skill issue almost certainly but the game gets really annoying in the last set of levels and the more minor annoyances started to bother me like hitboxes and some movement quirks.
Good game but couldn't be bothered to go for the optional stuff.
