Secrets of Grindea with my gf, and the original Metal Gear Solid on my own.
JRPGs and 2D platformers
As I mentioned before, the original Metal Gear Solid. I found that the gameplay and game design haven't aged well but I can see why it was revolutionary for the era. I am mainly referring to most of the combat setpieces, the stealth sections and the adventure game-like riddles were good. The aesthetics, sound design and atmosphere in general were excellent, with the voice acting being insanely good for that time. I also thought the story was good even if the character writing is a bit amateurish at times, with a plot twist that I thought was amazing and very well executed. The themes are also pretty good and interesting even if they aren't as deep as some fans would have you believe (although all of us are guilty of this with the things we like I guess)
Don't you mean "Grandia" instead of "Grindea" or am I wrong here?
Also, Metal Gear Solid 1?
Oh yeah, and I can tell that JRPGs are definitely your favorite if you're playing Grandia.
Good luck on playing Metal Gear; maybe it'll be in time for a new Metal Gear Solid game that Konami will inevitably do by asking Kojima back.
It is this game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/269770/Secrets_of_Grindea/
It was in early access since 2012 and just released, it's pretty fun in co-op and you can play with up to 4 people
2012? And just released?
Wow...
