For God to be good, evil is an absolute necessity in this world.
My experience with Castlevania: Aria of Sorrows was an overall positive one, one in which I was surprised to have found enjoyment out of due to my usual negative feelings towards platformer-esque games. As my first ever installment into the Castlevania franchise, besides playing Richter in SSBU once, I went into this absolutely blind to any of what previous story has happened with only basic knowledge of Dracula being a main focus point within this franchise. The story itself within this game isn't the most out-of-this-world and in fact I'd say it's fairly lacking earlier on within its run, however, the last couple hours are well worth that intended build-up finally giving time for Soma to shine.
My critiques upon this title are simply that enemies can get repetitive and more 'quantity > difficulty or scaling of the enemies' and that the story, although shining at the end, isn't anything profound or something I believe will stick with me.
Overall this was definitely a positive experience, but not one I believe will truly stick with me or anything.
Gosh darn that cover art is so cool though.
