The unfinished storyline really hurt what should have been a satisfying swan song. The gameplay, however, is incredible as always from MGS

On the surface it was a standard for the time side scrolling beat-em-up. However, the branching storylines, multiple characters, RPG elements, and secrets made this game very special to me. One of those games that’s much, much better than it had to be.

Amazing character focused storytelling with beautiful graphics & environments

For me this game is the highlight of the genre. Super satisfying and still holds up

This is the first game I can remember obsessing over and begging my parents for Christmas. My siblings and I played it over & over for a year or more. Great, great memories. Can’t say how good it holds up, but for me it’s one of my favorite experiences with a game in my life

It’s a good adventure game, but I don’t like it as much as the people who obsess over it. Enjoyable but not “great”.

Started the FPS genre for me. Just had a ton of fun with it. Not sure if it holds up at all, but it was great in the moment

Steep learning curve on the battle system, but very fun once you get the hang of it. Very cool story as well. Loved it

Disappointing and even feels like an unnecessary money grab while you’re playing it

Slow paced but very rewarding battle system & character progression. Also, monster hunting!

Come on - it’s Mario 3!

A huge graphical leap forward for RPGs with a strong narrative and characters. Honestly, blitzball knocks my rating down half a point. It’s that disappointing

I was shocked by how much I loved the story - the big reveal is masterfully done and sucked me in. I loved it probably more than most

One of the best RPG’s I’ve ever played- expanded & enhanced

Gets more hate than it deserves because of the main character. Gets a half point bump from me because of how crazy addicting the card game is.
