While always being second fiddle to Combat Evolved in my mind, this game succeeds at refining the gameplay loop to a fine polish resulting in one of the finest FPS experiences around.
A major point of contention has always been the poor difficulty balance, but I've always considered it more of a benefit than a drawback, it feels somewhat like a FPS Hotline Miami at times, and you've usually got enough wiggle room to make mistakes.

While this game did guide the modern FPS genre down the path of decisions I've hated, I always will love this game for just being a beautiful experience, it doesn't perfect what it brings to the table but it's a wonderful experience and adventure with tight responsive gameplay, clever AI design and good weapon balancing to the very end.

While this game fails in the department of environmental variety or interesting open-world design, it succeeds in making one of the most fun FPS experience I had in a decent while, making it feel like you're always coming up with your own solutions to combat encounters whilst not making it feel overbearing.
This has been an instant classic in a series I've grown up with since I was just a kid.

What is there to say about this game that hasn't already been said? It's a master-class in third person action and juggles that with a tone only matched by Devil May Cry, great voice acting, and satisfying sound design.
This game not only defines its own series, or its own genre, but an entire point of time around its release.
If you haven't played this yet, you're missing out.

The perfect way to remake a game, it succeeds at nailing the claustrophobic horror thought only possible with fixed cameras and has plenty of bonus content to keep you entertained far after the first clear.
Gameplay is tight, combining the puzzle solving, atmosphere and pace of the original whilst having the satisfying gameplay and silky movement more recent titles like 4 are known for.

An overhated hidden gem in the franchise, this game is a must play if you and a friend love the series, building off of the back of Resident Evil 4's gameplay this game struggles in comparison due to removing elements such as inventory management, and making enemy and level designs more in the style of the final act of 4, still offers an incredibly fun experience and is absolutely carried by the boss fights and over-the top action.
What I expected to make me roll my eyes with honeymoon identity discovering slop that a lot of queer media seems to have a problem with, ended up just delighting me with a fun, humorous love letter to old-school RPGs that can manage to have the LGBT side as a major theme, without making it just about the only thing that matters.

The true successor to World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy XIV lives up to its hype by massively reducing the tediousness that is considered the standard gameplay for MMOs, A well crafted story, a plethora of content and a whole lot of love make this the perfect entry or forever home for anyone looking to get into the genre.
However, praise is held back due to poor basegame content quality, sloppy netcode and outdated systems.
