Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Devil May Cry, definitely! Something that begun as one of many RE4's demos, ended up as an inspiration for other series, such as Bayonetta!
Dark Souls: it proved that gamers are still craving challenge and created its own genre as well.
Metroid & Castlevania: without them, we wouldn't have one of the greatest genres of all time!
Onimusha: my favourite one. It's a living proof that hope dies last. We'll get another entry after 20 years! (Dawn of Dreams was released on 2006)
