Replayed: Castlevania Symphony of the Night

A must play PS1 classic 

Game no: 558
Genre: Action (Metroidvania)
Platform: PS1
Release Date: 1997

This is one of the best games I played. This can be considered at one of my top 10 games I play of all time. The key indicator of an amazing game is that even with cheats this game is still fun to play. That is what I did. I installed some cheats. The most notable cheats is the ability to walk through lock doors and walls, also high attack damage. Playing this game in such way makes me appriacte how complex is a Metroidvania game.But the cheat does cause certain things to trigger unexpectedly which is okay by me. Overall the combat is great, the enemies are fast and responsive and you'll get hit a lot of times. 

I got the talisman which prevents me from taking damage. After that this game is really about exploring the castle and all its secret. What makes this game stands out from the others. Discovering a hidden passage or a new secret makes me want to continue exploring the castle. The game has a lot of powerups that you get through the game. You'll end up to be a bit floaty once you get the jump higher and float power. It just makes the game a bit slower but not a big deal. In the end I beat the game with the inverted castle (which really makes the game go on to hard mode since its very difficult). Overall this is one of the best PS1 every. A must play. I'll give this game an S-Rank.
