A really ridiculous mess with one of the most absurdly Epic final bosses of all time, especially if you';ve been following the series.
It goes a bit too far in trying to explain absolutely every tiny bit of information regarding metal gear and opens up problems with it, the meta commentary of this game feels like it's constantly insulting the series and the player at times and the Beasts are... cool initially with some truly horrid backstories, but pretty underdeveloped. Still, not as bad as people would say imo.

A pretty standard zelda game all things considered with a bit too much of "pick up dungeon item then never use it ever again" but I think it has a pretty decent overworld and some fun dungeons. It's not bad.

I can't dislike this game too hard, since it is what got me noticing monster hunter, but... oof. Bone dry on monster count without any of the fun gimmicks of the later games minus... water combat. Which, to the shock of nobody, is not great. It's still a monster hunter game, so if you're playing with friends it isn't bad, but it's not great now.

This game barely even functions on the ps2 and it needed a lot more work done to it than just the remaster we got. It's got a pretty cool 'show don't tell' narrative styles and the colossi are neat but yeah, it's way past its prime and the 2018 version didn't help it enough.

I think the first game is a little overrated as a horror title; The payoff to tense moments is often just loud monsters jump scaring you, and the enemy diversity and combat is way worse than it would be in the 2nd game. Still, the combat is fun, the story is okay, and there are some scary moments.

Unanimously better than the first one in almost every area, in my opinion. It does have some more action setpieces (that the first game wanted to do but didn't have the budget for) but I think the first game already was 'loud' enough to break the anxiety it tried to have. This game leans into it, with stuff like the raptor enemies being tense fights and contrasting the high stress action with quiet moments. Probably the best action horror game there is.

It's pretty good! I feel like every NPC in this game is a little too willing to give you their full opinion on every political issue, and not all of the voice acting is good, but the way options work, and how problem solving branches out, and the system behind your inner narration, is all genius and stuff I hope that every CRPG from here on takes advantage of.
