and then today the author writes an article about how much he dislikes the word Metroidvania. I think you were spot on 

I have sooooo much PS1 RPG music on my phone. Suikoden, Wild Arms, Xenogears, a bunch of Final Fantasies, just great music.

It is so gorgeous in Ouray

I’ve read Jalopnik for nearly 10 years (?) and have never seen this post. Good God this is the greatest thing ever

Bethesda be like, “how could they do such a thing?!”

i’m just waiting for everything to be free and handed to me. It’s going to be awesome!

More importantly, where’s the Suikoden bundle?!

+1000000

Another great review! I probably will not play Exodus (played a little of the first two) but thoroughly enjoyed this extremely well-written piece. Nicely done!

Great game!

Gotta be Suikoden 1 for me. I’ll never forget playing through those opening hours and getting so sucked in by the characters and the hauntingly beautiful (as someone here on Kotaku once perfectly described it as) music.

That opening is one of the best ever. The entire soundtrack is beautiful and I listen to it while working all the time. 

This is the first thing I thought of when I saw that little mirror. 

Came here to say this. It was a great game

that car is a hell of time with just its 382 hp.

I absolutely devoured every ounce of this game. Needs a properly done sequel so bad because the premise (action-stealth-RPG) has SO MUCH POTENTIAL.

The entire room is getting sucked in

I’m not crying, you’re crying!

Good article as usual Heather but why the need for asking all these “deep” questions about video games now? They are games. The more realistic games attempt to become the more we question how “realistic” they really are. This article criticizes the masculinity of the Wild West but that’s how it was back then and then…
