Gas Snake

The atmosphere and world are excellent. The gameplay feels very standard and not super interesting.

Surprisingly good for being an N64 game. The weapons and enemy animations in particular are great, but it's still clearly of its time. Some of the best weapons come a little too late in the game.

A solid metroidvania. Doesn't have any stand out in innovative or stand out gameplay feature, but doesn't do anything poorly either. Very easy, even on hard mode. I enjoyed it.

A really fantastic soulslike. Combat is a lot of fun and the exploration/map design is top notch. Most bosses provide the good kind of challenge. Stumbles a little bit in the last chapter but it does not take away from an otherwise great game. Second only to Lies of P in non-FROM soulslikes.

An extremely fun game that makes me see why the series is so beloved. The remake makes the gameplay modern and smooth while really retaining the feel of RE1. The first time through the game I loved, and the tension that Mr. X adds is great. Having to go through the game a second time for the "full story" (even though little is different) is less great.
