Melee is the greatest competitive video game ever made, and it was by mistake. This game is so good, if casuals did not know the competitive scene existed, they would never complain about it. Melee gets hate for being popular and liked, which I've never understood.
If you break it down at a game level, it x2's everything smash 64 had to offer. Larger Cast, Stage list, Item list, Single Player and Multiplayer offerings... trophies even. The list just goes on and on for improvements made between 64 and Melee.
Melee is so fascinating to me because its hard for me to find individual flaws in a game so deep. Sure you can complain about balance... which maybe affects 1% of people who've actually touched melee since release.
People point to Brawl being the best casual Smash game and I do have to agree, but Brawl only got there because it was able to build off melee, same way Melee built off of 64. Brawls subspace, does not exist without the success of Melee's adventure mode.
Melee now has some of the best online play any fighting game currently has. The rollback netcode from Slippi truly elevates melee even further into the GOAT status.
In my opinion, Melee is the GOAT of fighting games, and perhaps even games in general.

4.5/5
Gameplay in L4D is fantastic, it takes a few rounds to learn all the Special Infected quirks, and the layout of the maps, but everything feels intuitive and natural. The only flaw I can truly find with the Gameplay is VS mode being kinda boring and an untapped gold mine of gameplay. I just feel like not enough was put into that side of things, and its disappointing that also didnt improve much in L4D2. Theres a variety of gamemodes provided to shake up the experience and keep everything fresh. You can easily loose 100-200 hours playing L4D over the years with friends for short bursts.
L4D never leaves the mind, always sits in the back of your brain as a unique and fun experience that you would not mind revisiting with a couple of friends. Every few years I revisit L4D and remind myself of the Magic of the time period it so lovingly encapsulates. In many ways, L4D will make you feel like a kid again when your playing with a group of 4, as you remind yourself of the friends you originally tackled the campaigns with.
For that alone, this game stands on a very special pedestal for me. One I know I can always revisit, and one I know I will always enjoy.

For what its worth, Sm4sh on 3DS is probably surprisingly one of the most solid entries in the whole series, and I believe it overall outshines the Wii U entry besides Controls.
The single player in Smash 3DS has the best mode in the entire series, Smash Run. Why this was never brought back is beyond me, I've spent many Car Rides playing Smash Run for hours and hours.
1 Thing I thought was cool was that Nintendo didnt abandon the 3DS version at all, all DLC characters were included and released same day as the Wii U versions.
The 3DS has specific quirks with this game, the controls are obviously... subpar. This game This specific title also has a large battery drain on the system, which is fair considering its a 60FPS massive title condensed into the 3DS.
TLDR:
Gameplay: 4/5 : its Smash 4 Gameplay on a 3DS. Everyone knows how smash plays and feels, its satisfying.
Story: N/A: Not important for a Smash Game
Controls : 3/5 : Not much Nintendo could've done to make this more comfortable with a 3ds
Replay : 5/5 : Always fun to pick Smash Run back up or get better with your main. The content truly doesnt end as long as you have a friend to play with.
