Re: BOTTOM 16 — Poll 8
It should additionally be noted that there are three excellent Metcastlevanias in this current batch/round: Super Metroid, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, and Hollow Knight... and the best game among them is the only one whose title isn't awkwardly represented in the terrible genre portmantfaux.

Re: BOTTOM 16 — Poll 7
I love Super Metroid, but it does suffer a little bit from its own success—basically being the base template for every Metroid game, many of which (by necessity) iterate on it in interesting ways. It's still a very solid building block and always fun for a familiar replay. It's harder to vote for it...

Re: BOTTOM 16 — Poll 8
This is a really fun match-up for me because these games both did the same thing for me. They're both big, consistently fun and impressive games that are generous with things to do and keep surprising you with how much more there is. Every new area you find is interesting, and every boss encounter i...

Re: BOTTOM 16 — Poll 3
Breath of the Wild is just more Zelda. :shock: Breath of the Wild is the most different Zelda since Ocarina of Time took the series into 3D. I would even argue that it's the first truly successful execution of the Zelda series "mission" in 3D, which is why I'm voting for it here. The worl...

Re: BOTTOM 16 — Poll 1
I knew I had a feeling of déja vu ... this is a rematch between these two games, which first went toe-to-toe in the first week of the Top 256 back in May 2023. Super Mario Galaxy won the match way back then in a 5-5 tie thanks to its higher seeding. And now here they are again, both in the lower bra...

Re: BOTTOM 32 — Poll 16
Well, I wasn't voting for it in previous rounds because it was up against clearly and decisively better games, but now that Rondo is up against something more on its own level of impact and quality this becomes a tougher decision.

Re: BOTTOM 64 — Poll 31
I mean, one of them is going through, even if you don't love them. Might as well be the better game, no?

Re: BOTTOM 64 — Poll 23
I think I'm going to throw my weight behind the superior Baldur's Gate 2 elsewhere in these polls, and vote for God of War here. God of War is not just an excellent game in its own right, but also a masterclass on how to rescue a stale and toxic mascot and turn him into a compelling characte. Toxic...
