It is amazing how well it holds up still,

But it is still overrated for what it is, wtf.

I just made it to the reverse castle, and lol wtf, I got some things to say.

The difficulty balance is so poorly done that rikter was doing 1 damage to me, and all I did was pick up the shit along the way with zero grinding. I also managed to kill him in like 7 hits to.

The game isn't long. Long for Castlevania, but short compared to something like hollow knight

It seems like all weapons are meh with niche exceptions, compared to the stabby weapons. The baselard can carry you up to the jewel fist, then the holy rod, then the combat knife. They just hit faster than everything else and obliterate mobs and bosses with nothing to compare. You don't even need the invincible free teleport and high damage spells. I don't even see the point of the mp meter as barely anything complete it.

Bosses are jokes overall.

I can see why this game was great, and still is. However, I don't see how people go on and on about how this game outclasses everything. It has to many flaws.
