After the incredible "metroidvania" style Mansion opening, the linearity of the following areas leaves a bit to be desired, but overall this was a fantastic experience. Great atmosphere and mood. The camera took a bit to get used to at first, but like many of the "outdated" things in this game, it ends up adding to the overall experience. Would have liked a less abrupt ending but what can you do. To those looking to play this for the first time, do yourself a favor and try to look up as little as possible online!
Yay! My first play through! What a solid game. Very glad I finally played it. I liked how it felt old but aged really well. A lot of frustrating moments for sure (I only found out I was playing on easy once I finished when I thought I was playing on Normal) but overall I really liked the experience. Rough around the edges, but a classic that anyone who enjoys the series. Might say I even liked it more than the Remake of 3 but who’s keeping track? 😅
