This is my favorite metroidvania Castlevania game. Expectations from Aria of Sorrow for me were quite high. I finally gotten to play this through Castlevania Dominus Collection. In nearly every possible way better than Aria of Sorrow. Sure the money trick technically better in Aria of Sorrow. You also need to correctly perform the seals or a boss regains some health during boss fights. Despite those problems it's a truly fantastic Castlevania game. Once again you play as Soma Cruz with amazing presentation for the story. A great lineup for the bosses as well. You get one massive map with a smaller map later on. You get a few merchants this time around. Your usual merchant being Hammer. One of the supporting characters, Yoko Belnades whose an descendant of Sypha Belnades deals with souls. Either free em or use souls to improve weapons. Plus you can find the right combination of souls for truly amazing effects. Dawn of Sorrow is currently the end of the classic Castlevania timeline. I felt it was a worthy conclusion. The audio as a whole truly fantastic work. This felt like an improved Aria of Sorrow that's differs enough to be it's own Castlevania game. In other words it's not quickly release the same game but change some stuff that's it. There's an insane level of depth. Julius Mode is even improved to a degree. You can recruit both Alucard whose not in disguise and Yoko. This recreates three of the four Castlevania 3 characters together. Boss Rush mode is a lot of fun as well. I really can not criticize it much because the game just that damn great!!!
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of TimeThe Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the fifth main installment of The Legend of Zelda series and the first to be released for the Nintendo 64. It was one of the most highly anticipated games of its age, and is listed among the greatest video games ever created by numerous websites and magazines. The gameplay of Ocarina of Time was revolutionary for its time, it has arguably made more of an impact on later games in the series than any of its predecessors even though they had the same cores of exploration, dungeons, puzzles and item usage. Among the gameplay mechanics, one of the most noteworthy is the time-traveling system. The game begins with the player controlling the child Link, but later on an adult Link becomes a playable character as well and each of them has certain unique abilities. Ocarina of Time also introduces the use of music to solve puzzles: as new songs are learned, they can be used to solve puzzles, gain access to new areas and warp to different locations. Dungeon exploration is somewhat more puzzle-oriented than in earlier games but they are not too complex.Open world Action Fantasy Sandbox
