Being the best by default doesnt make it good
That's a very selective response.
It doesn't matter what your standards of "good" are or whether you dislike a specific game. People often dislike good games and like bad games, it's called an opinion. I accept opinions.
However to call a game 'shit' to everyone else when it's been reviewed by reputable reviewers and given an average score of around 70%+ is incredibly biased. It's not that you don't appreciate or like the game that I personally dislike, it's that lazy and inarticulate opinion of "Nah... It's shit" or reputable reviews "doesn't make it good". Saying you don't like the game is one thing, telling everyone else it's shit is a different story.
The games broke many a convention of their time and for 3d games in general, they were engaging and had more of a horror factor that the original CV games had than any other 2d/ 3d CV game of that Era, they nailed the music and atmosphere, presented a decent challenge factor and actually had good characters and character development (better than a lot of CV games) and despite the camera being funny the games for their time were still playable with, the gameplay which was most true to 2d lineage of classic Castlevania. You would be hard pressed to find another Castlevania game that achieved all of the above, albeit in 3d.
Being selective about responses is not assisting your opinion to look any more valuable to anyone reading this forum.
OP, if you can complete the whole game by Halloween, hats off to you.
