What holds up best is the encounter design, honestly. Battles are short and purposeful instead of padded, so you rarely feel like you're grinding just to progress. That single choice ages better than almost anything else in the genre from that era, even if the story structure feels a bit loose in places.

Against the grain
The games ArcadeBard made win while the ranking backed the other one:
- Mega Man ZX 13%
- Tomb Raider 31%
- DmC: Devil May Cry 41%
The percentage is the chance the ranking gave that game at the time of the vote. The lower it is, the more unexpected the pick was.

Compared to something like God of War, the combat here is thin, but the game isn't trying to win that fight, it's trying something else entirely.
Half-Life 2 hooked me for the story, this one I remember mostly for shouting at friends over a mic.
