It's not the best shooter out there, i know!
But the style is immaculate. I wanna breathe this game in like a gas and trip out, dude. And the soundtrack? Maybe the most insanely good and goodly insane experimental music (if it can be called that, im not sure) i've heard in games right next to Drakengard's score. What a maniacal piece of art. This whole game is, actually, a piece of art, that should be displayed in a museum with thousand screens capturing each 10 meters of it's levels.
Put this thing in my veins, duuuude.

A golden standard of being stuffed and tasty all the way through. Like having a burger that has not a minced meat but a whole steak in it. Doesn't sound optimised for consumption? Well, if you chew it long enough, you're not gonna regret it, let me tell ya.
2nd time completing Part I, 4th time completing the story of this game.
This time I found the opening 3-4 hours incredibly strong, in a way i've never seen them as before. At one point I even started to ponder if maybe Part I is actually better than Part II. Having completed it, though, Part II is, in plain terms, just a far more ambitious, far more complex and, ultimately, far more impressive achievement.
Still, the original has a ridiculously confident vision behind it and equally gobsmacking execution of that vision. A heartwrenching journey that is 100% the 2nd best game ever, behind it's own continuation. God, what a miracle it is to have these 2 incredible games all for myself until I'm dead and gone.

It wasn't until 4 to 5 days after, when i realised, that 4 to 5 days earlier i have completed my walkthrough of one of the best video games ever conceived and expertly executed by a human imagination.

I don't care, this game slaps hard. Thinking about it and seeing what this series came to, completely abandoning the tone and ideas behind the original, makes me sad as hell, dude.
2004
This is the closest this series ever got to having a consistently defined style and vibe. Hitman in his emo arc.
1998
This could be a perfect PS1 game if not for the fact that the structure kinda breaks near mid-point. The rest of the game feels like a gimmicky boss rush. The bosses are very cool tho.
This game made me read trillions of text lines and love it.

More like bloated ring... what?
I get that duality of spiritual and physical is like a major theme in this one, but do we REALLY need multiple versions of the same bosses? Cut it out and don't waste my time, Elden Ring!
Still, Elden Ring brings to the table some great new twists on the open world formula and after 20 years of oversaturation this fact can't be underappreciated. And don't even get me started on how impressive of a first attempt at open world game design this game is! What the hell, Miyazaki?

Crazy big potential that, evidently and sadly, will never be harnessed. A serious gothic-punk werewolf epidemic story that managed to stay grounded and real, and have some luxuriously fantastical yet somehow visually credible weaponry fun times... i wish it was longer, and i wish it was better, so we could have a sequel that could be a Playstation household title for years to come.

Still manages to amaze and impress you with it's amount of "unnecessary" details. I can't stress enough how good the trio interactions are written, GTA V is the game that successfully captured that phenomena of a group dynamic, when people slightly change their attitude depending on who else is in the room. The characters of the main trio are well realised and full, but it's their morphing and changing quality in interactions with each other that makes them shine. When Trevor finally gets to have a conversation with Lamar - that moment is nothing short of a revelation to me.
2016
Still a bit shook about how good this played. Near Max Payne 3 levels of aggressive tonal shift coupled with a gargantuan shooting/violence upgrade.
The story is big and meaty and all over the place, in a good way. I dunno, i really fucking enjoyed this monstrous freak of a third installment.

I suffered my way through to appreciate how good the art is. The game was a bit sadistic.
2004
When everyone was dunking on it, i was just a scared little boy who for some reason would not quit this nightmare till the last demon was killed.
2017
I'm not saying this is the most disappointing sequel of anything ever. But it's definitely up there!
