sotn has remained one of my absolute favorite games since i was 13 and discovering it was akin to the second fucking coming... and it STILL is! some of the coolest art direction and compositions on the psx combined with an air-tight and brilliantly designed first half. obviously yeah, okay, the second major area is a bit lopsided and difficult to traverse but fucking hell if it's not fun to feel totally busted near the end of the game and just rampage through the back half. the corny voice acting and compressed audio makes the experience. still my favorite game in this genre for sure. DARK METAMORPHOSIS!
