    I'll admit I'm biased, I've loved this game since I was a kid and I still defend it in every single duel it shows up in.

    FrameRex2

    But if you defend it every single duel, doesn't that kind of prove my point about the bias?

    lfarrell

    I get the love, I really do, but every time I see it lose to Doom in these duels I remember why, the pacing just isn't built for a quick session and that matters when people vote

    A mí también me costó aceptar el puesto, pero contra Skyrim entiendo por qué pierde tanto

    Hebert49

    Contre Skyrim ou Arkham, enfin surtout Skyrim, il perd presque toujours, non, tu trouves ça mérité toi ?

    I keep coming back to this one over the years. The atmosphere alone justifies its spot in the top fifty for me.

  3. bayer_jennings

    Three days, one moon, and somehow every single side quest feels essential. That's rare enough to deserve this spot.

    GhostWolf1989

    Same here. Makes me wonder how it stacks up against Doom in these duels.

  4. edwardo_schulist

    Anyone else remember the exact moment the transformation masks clicked for them? (mine took embarrassingly long) I still think about that feeling constantly.

  5. NovaMaster2

    the sidequests are great tbh but the time limit ruins casual play, cant just relax with this one

  6. Geraldine_2001

    tbh compared to most action adventure games from that era, this one aged way better because of how tight everything feels.

    Coop_Hagenes

    Yeah the pacing holds up better than I expected when I replayed it a couple years back with my brother

    What made you replay it with him specifically, curiosity or nostalgia?

  7. NovaSniper3

    I might be in the minority here but the three day cycle still feels like the most stressful, memorable structure Nintendo ever built, even now.

    Antonette_77

    The clock never lies, respect.

    Berge70

    What got you through that first cycle without losing your mind, honestly? Because for me the anxiety almost outweighed the wonder of it all.

    ArcadeLegend3

    Same energy here honestly (still get anxious just hearing that clock sound in my head).

    EmileWarden

    The moon face still gets me, weirdly enough

  8. AnastasieByte

    Comment un jeu pareil peut ne pas être encore mieux classé selon vous ?

    QuestDragon93

    Really? What exactly earns it a higher spot than it already has right now?

    LootRex2

    la luna no me quita el sueño, lo que recuerdo es lo lento que arrancaba todo

    ratke_matilda

    Higher than what, honestly? I remember arguing with my roommate about this exact ranking for an hour.

  9. Aaron_85

    Me marcó bastante en su momento, sigo pensando que merece estar bien arriba.

    LootNinja25

    MY cousin had every mask memorized before I even understood the map, that says more about the fandom than the ELO score does

  10. BossPilot2

    Y aun asi recuerdo cada mascara como si fuera ayer, jugando en casa de mi primo sin entender nada al principio.

    IronKnight2004

    Funny how a stressful game became such a shared memory, my brother and I traded off just to survive that first cycle.

  11. lacombe_pierre

    Un 49e rang pour ce jeu, ça vous semble juste ou complètement à côté de la plaque ?

    NeonDragon

    Skyrim comparisons aside, this clock mechanic alone deserves its own category honestly.

    Bayer15

    I only played it in short bursts over a year and honestly the 49th spot feels low for how much it stuck with me.

    IronOwl

    Replying to NeonDragon

    I've said the same about the clock in other threads, it deserves recognition but it also punishes exploration hard

  12. LuckyMaster

    Comparado con Ocarina of Time, este se siente mas oscuro y raro, y esa rareza es justo lo que lo hace mejor a mis ojos con los años.

  13. NeonKnight12

    Ce que je retiens surtout c'est l'ambiance générale, assez sombre pour un jeu de cette époque. Ça justifie largement sa place actuelle.

  14. ComboLegend

    Disons que j'ai plus stressé devant ce jeu que devant un partiel, et pourtant j'ai adoré ça.

  15. hamon_dominique

    Ce jeu m'a marqué durablement, l'ambiance générale est unique en son genre et je pense que ça compte pour beaucoup dans son score actuel.
