Topic	Epyo's Top 100 Games of All Time (with write-ups)
Epyo 08/30/22 6:01:29 PM #213:	Well, TBH you didn't miss much with Heretic, I kinda hate Heretic. It's really just Doom but uglier, and with consumables, that make you feel bad if you hoard them and never use them, OR also make you feel bad if you use them and waste them. ---------------------------------- last castlevania of the list! #10 Castlevania: Symphony of the Night https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/3/3/AABIPnAADnuN.jpg What's up with that telescope at the bottom of the Outer Wall? And the bird nest there, too? What's up with the chapel confessional? What the HECK is up with the Diplocephalus creatures in Marble Gallery? What in the world is a granfalloon? Every room you enter, you have no idea what you're going to get. My hunch is that Konami gathered a handful of immensely passionate and creative artists+programmers, and pretty much said "I dunno, do whatever you want, have fun!" And with glee, they delivered a MESS of creativity, with seemingly no central leadership! Just look at Alucard's walk animation. Somebody really, really, really, poured their heart and soul into that. That wasn't somebody just getting paid. The soundtrack as well, it's all over the place--nobody was telling Michiru Yamane what to do, she just did wtf she wanted. AND IT OWNS. Another top 5 game soundtrack. There are downsides too though. The game's balance is whack, and where to go next is never clear. The pause menus are a prototype, presumably because nobody cared to work on it. But the creative beauty of the game overpowers all of this! BEST LEVEL: Impossible question...I will go with the Royal Chapel. Fighting up that 10-screen long staircase and up all those crow-infested towers, are interesting challenges. --- People who don't finish their sentences I'm a Castlevania superfan!
