I enjoyed this more than I expected to. As a child of the N64 (I was playing the recent Nightdive remaster) the aesthetic of that console holds a lot of nostalgia for me. Even though this isn't a Nintendo game in a strict sense, it feels much more Nintendo-y than other games of its era, between collecting coins, having limited lives, hidden bonus stages and the amount of platforming that has to be done.
Some minor complaints: some of the weapons are completely superfluous once you get the improved versions, like the auto shotgun replacing the regular shotgun. The enemies, and especially the bosses, are more tanky than they are difficult.
I really like the outdoor areas in this game, but the indoor areas kind of wear out their welcome. On the whole though, I found this game to be a short and sweet little treat.

This is my second playthrough of this game, to gather footage for a future Youtube video where I'll give more detailed thoughts on this game. In the meantime, I'll say that it's a very neat little FPS Metroidvania!

This game whips ass. It has an incredible thick layer of atmosphere and I love its color palette. The conceit of an anti-Metroidvania is super compelling to me. Love it!

What can I say that hasn't already been said? It's a horror masterpiece.

I love this game. It's quicker-paced than RE2 Remake and has a tone that I appreciate. It's my favorite kind of horror.
I blasted through this as a quick palette cleanser after RE2 and 3 and quite enjoyed it! I will probably come back later to 100% it.
In what other game can you suplex a guy so hard his head explodes?

I see why this game was popular in its day and why it got sequels, but this game is just frustrating as hell. It controls abysmally, and the directional control scheme does not mesh at all with fixed camera angles. Fixed camera angles are very cool for some genres, but a hack & slash is not one of them. I got most of the way through the game before I had to give up because I was getting too frustrated.

This game is a vibe and a half.

Short and a bit frustrating but with great vibes. Beautiful boss spritework.
Very cute and fun NES style game. Intuitive and enjoyable and also the werewolf lady is hot
A lot of fun and gorgeous to look at. I found myself more drawn to the story than I expected to be.
next time I play a Dragon Quest game I think I should go slower. I had a lot of fun with this one (it's the second DQ I've finished after I), but I think it would be even more fun to play one for half an hour before bed each night. But that's for next time. Thank you for the impetus to finally finish this game!

Relaxing and yet tense, like a good novel. It gets a lot of points in my book for being a cyberpunk story that doesn't fall back on 1980s retrofuturism. A very bittersweet story. My one critique is that the voice direction for some characters could use some work.

Perfect game and also my gender
This game is really good aside from a few vexing boss fights.
