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.
This game is a really good SRPG and a great SMT game in general, The story and atmosphere is also great with really drilling in the fact that you're trapped in the middle of tokyo. The game can be really bullshit at certain parts (Beldr, Belberith) But despite that the game is really fun. Though one of my biggest issues is that the phys skills are really fucking useless in this game hopefully this is something that the sequel fixes.
I really enjoyed every moment of this game, this is the first time i've played it again since 2017 but I never got past Turnabout Samurai initially. But I gave it another go this year and it was such a good time solving all the cases, I've yet to do the extra 5th case but I'll give it ago very soon. This is a must play for anyone who is into visual novels or is trying to play one for the first time.

Battle network 2 is a great entry into the battle network franchise and a massive improvement over 1. Its reccommended that a newcomer start with this over 1 because of that. I really enjoyed playing this game, but if I had to say one issue i had with it it would be the fact that the puzzles and the level design can be a bit boggling, but thats to be expected for a 2001 gameboy rpg.
This game is definitely the best of the classic sonic series and I really enjoyed playing through this game. The level design really encourages you to explore and figure out puzzles through out the level which I enjoy but also kind of takes away from the "going fast" part of Sonic besides that its basically the greatest classic sonic game and I enjoyed it.

One of the "better" games in the series but still barely leaving mediocre. These games are far better than their predecessor "Sword and Shield." but the experience while being fun at times, is lackluster in terms of trainer battles, exploration of the region and boring characters. The game is open world but still feels empty and lifeless majority of the time, something that even Red/Blue on the gameboy had more of a sense of adventure and scale to it. The level design is also atrocious seeing as the game is promoted as an open world non-linear experience yet the Gyms and Star bosses are obviously intended for you to be doing them in a certain order and the levels dont scale with your party, which completely takes away from the main reason people enjoy open world games; to have the freedom to decide how you want to progress through the game at any time you want. The amount of performance issues and bugs this game has is pathetic and makes you wonder how Game Freak thought this was acceptable to release to the public at all. The story atleast this time attempted something unique but it was practically non existent till the very end of the game, which just makes for really only one exciting moment that just comes and goes as quickly as it came. The character designs this time is completely atrocious except for a select few characters which is baffling in a franchise known for its great character designs. The pokemon design this time around also taken a hit, though alot of designs and new evolutions to some old pokemon are fine. In short, this game is a step above the previous entry but completely falls short in every other aspect, you're better off skipping this one.
