A fantastic remake of the two original Langrisser games, with bland new artwork but the option to restore the original glorious Urushihara designs.
The difficulty was slightly adjusted to allow even newcomers to the genre to enjoy themselves, and the amount of alternative storylines is simply stunning, ranging from small details to complete overhauls.
A wonderful entry point into the legendary series.

Three episodes full of nightmarish levels. One man against legions of demons. Welcome to Doom, id Software's most well-known franchise. I've always felt the second episode is subpar compared to the other two, which is why this only gets 4 stars, but it's still a good lot of fun especially with the Brutal mod.

Capcom vs. SNK 2 is a fantastic game, but this GameCube port, while not inherently awful, is borderline unplayable due to the GameCube controller itself which was great for a lot of genres, but not for 2D fighters. The EO means Capcom introduced mechanics to make special moves easy to pull off to compensate, which frankly ruin the fun.

Sometimes considered a remake of the first game in the series (I strongly disagree) this is still to this day my absolute favorite Castlevania game. It was also a fantastic display of the Super Famicom's capabilities, using its graphical and audio features wisely. The one little critic would be that since the whip is overpowered, the secondary weapons are not that useful. But that's very much it.

It might be hard to fathom how revolutionary this game was when it came out, but never before had solo FPS campaigns been this immersive, this intense, and this narratively rich. The closest that comes to mind is the original Unreal, and it is not even that close. A true masterpiece despite a rushed final chapter.
