This game changed my brain chemistry when I was a kid and is actually just discount Devil May Cry as far as the combat system goes BUT THAT'S WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT and I'll DIE on this hill

along with curse of darkness and symphony of the night are not only the best games in the series but also the only missing on computer. This would be a great addition
This is, firstly, the most impactful game of my childhood with some other ps2 titles (I'm still 21 but I played it first when I was 8 or so), shaping my taste in storytelling, gameplay, music and aesthetics (Rinaldo's cabin and saving rooms gotta be the chillest places on earth). And, secondly, the game still stands today as an amazing, perfectly enjoyable 10-15 hours game. As a 3D castlevania, the concepts and methods of the 2D ones are well adapted, the graphics have aged correctly, replayability is quite fun, THE MUSIC makes you travel through dimensions... It also came with a manual that I sadly lost track of during my many movings, but it was a big one, full-color (I thinks) and with really interesting info about the game. Sadly, this game has never been ported to pc, nor to any next-gen console, probably because its popularity wasn't that big. But look for it, everyone that knows about the game and every Castlevania review in youtube that talks about it gives a good rating to the game. Seriously, this game is worth your time if you are minimally interested in Castlevania or in an RPG-like experience (with much more simplified mechanics, beginner friendly). It would be an inmediate buy from my part if GOG decided to give it a chance.

In the late 90s, Castlevania was doing well in 2D and stumbling in 3D with the boring Nintendo 64 games, but with the extra firepower of the PS2, the game could turn around (pardon the pun) and for that it was bold... It decided to give us the first chapter of the fight between the Belmonts and Dracula, which worked out very well! Lament of Innocence is a fan favorite of the series! The story, the character design by Ayami Kojima, the character design by Koji Igarashi's team and the unforgettable music by maestra Michiru Yamane make this game an unforgettable experience and, along with Curse of Darkness, it is still waiting to come to PC! Come on Konami, bring us another collection too!!!

Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.
