This definitely deserves its spot as one of the best castlevania games. I'd even argue the one of the best in the metroidvania genre considering it was one of the games that inspired a shitton of games in said genre. The music is phenomenal, the story while simple, is really enjoyable even if its not a story focused game and holy fuck the gameplay is pure kino to the highest order. Some of the bosses can kick your ass a shit ton early on but once you push through that the game is a massive wild ride from beginning to end. Truly one of the best games on the Playstation 1.
This game is a bit of a step down from the first game, the music is worse and most of the cases are weaker than the ones from the first game. But, the final case of the game has to be one of the best ones in the series so far, it had me on the edge of my seat the entire time, I'd say just for the final case its worth going through this game not just because its a sequel but just for that case alone. In short this game is pretty much inferior to the first but its final case makes up for it.

My personal favourite persona game and also the first one I played (Well the ps2 version atleast.) The story and turn takes a massive change in tone from its predecessor with a more upbeat and lighthearted story and theme. That isnt to say Persona 4 doesnt have its dark parts. The cast is my absolute favourite cast of characters in the persona franchise and its really entertaining to see them interact with each other. While I feel like the social links outside of the party members, Dojima, Nanako and Adachi's are easily the weakest in the series theres still alot of soulful and funny moments in them. As for the gameplay the battles can be a bit hard early on but it gets laughably easy the further you get into the game and the dungeons are easily the most boring ones in the entire franchise and one of the things I hate about this game, seriously Atlus? randomly generated hallways? Tartarus sucked but it was atleast interesting to go through. The music is also an absolute godsend, songs like Your affection, Heartbeat Heartbreak, Heaven and I'll face myself are a pure joy to listen to. All in all Persona 4 is a great game even if the dungeon design leaves much to be improved on, It has a fun and engaging cast of characters a comfy small town setting, an enjoyable mystery story and tons of memories to be made, I absolutely adore this game despite some of its faults.
