Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
loved this way more than i thought i would. story is an absolute masterpiece, gameplay is so smooth compared to 1, and i think solid and raiden may be some of my favourite characters of all time now

this is such a messy game, tries to convey too much to the point that i feel like it loses sight of what it originally wanted to be by the end, but by that point it feels so passionate about all of it that i can't help but love it all

also the act 4 boss is easily the best boss in any video game ever and if you say otherwise just know you either haven't played this game or you're wrong

im kinda mad i didn't play this as a kid, definitely would have been a 10/10 then
i got used to the controls but man they hurt the game so much, gameplay is still really satisfying with its dungeon crawling and tough bosses
the entire island is a vibe too, absolutely love how every place is interconnected, even the dungeons, and every npc has something of value to say and do, along with some fun sidequests, it makes the whole world feel wonderfully alive.
also im ngl the cheesy voice acting adds to the charm factor a ton, i fucking love teisel and his over the top villainous ass monologues they're so funny

Metal Gear Solid

story is very impressive for a ps1 game, but holy shit some of the gameplay puzzles are annoying just for the sake of it
yeah they're creative and impressive but shit like backtracking for the sniper rifle and the torturing section really pissed me off
otherwise the story is really great, dont have any complaints about it

Mega Man Legends 2

pretty sad with how this one turned out - although the story is still shit, it's still a blast gameplay wise. i absolutely loved legends 1's dungeon crawling and to see it improved in this one is good to see. gameplay is a lot smoother this time around, i always found it o strange how you couldnt lock on while moving in 1, and it changes a lot. missions and bosses aren't this game's best points though - call me bad but the flying ships NEVER work well with the lock on. makes them drag on and feel way more tedious than they should be
most bosses are boring as well. claymore and that other robot to be specific, they did a whole lot of nothing throughout the game. don't even remember what they were here for, so forgettable
but yeah, they mostly can be beaten by circling around the enemy until it dies with little to no consequence, apart from like 2 late game bosses. legends 1 had a lot less bosses, but at least they had some challenge to them.
it's cool how we get to see a bigger world but the islands are nothing burgers - there's barely anyone on these islands, and when there are, they're just random npcs that don't say anything. a bit sad considering how 1 was perfect with the solidarity you get with the people of kattelox
definitely could have been fixed with legends 3 but capcom hates everyone 😔

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

gameplay is fine, a step up from 2 but i absolutely hate the curing system. its useless since it has no real effect on how snake plays, but when i need health for bosses i have to go through the most annoying and boring system ever to heal.

the cobras were all annoying, codec calls are a lot less frequent (a blessing and a curse, but when they do have conversation it's always about old pop culture, nothing that was interesting to me) but the character arcs of all main characters were easily the highlights.

it's cute. when people said this was a prequel i thought there was gonna be some lore to set the story in motion, but nah it's just banter between mega man and tron. i'm not mad, it was pretty funny, definitely worth the wait for the translation

idk what to say about it, it was only an hour lol
side content was fun though so i'll give it that

12

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
haven't finished yet but i don't see my thoughts on it changing any time soon

feels kinda pointless when mgs4 already tried to wrap everything up - although i really enjoy the continuation of peace walker's mission-based structure along with base building, it really overstays its welcome here.
coupled with the story going absolutely nowhere for way too long, i'd be surprised if i even finished it

SoulCalibur IV
SoulCalibur IV
had this game for at least a decade but i've never touched it until now. idk if only doing two story modes counts as a finish, but apart from darth vader and the character creator, there's not a lot to say about this one

16

Rayman
Rayman
rayman used to be one of my childhood obsessions but funny enough i'd never finished this one. i played every single version and could never get past the cave of skops - thought i was just really bad back then but holy shit it was genuinely painful to complete the game
coupled with the fact that you have to 100% the game in order to finish it...... nah this ain't it at all

Nights: Journey of Dreams

too disappointing. the og was literally perfect and the game feels way too slow and boring now. love the nights redesign but that unfortunately it's not looking good so far.
