While I haven't finished this game, it's a really captivating, surreal, and an unbelievably cool video game. For a reasonable price, it packs a lot of material that might not have huge implications or life changing but is nonetheless so imaginative that you can't help but replay, battle, strategize and exist within the parameters of the world Lindroth creates. I regularly revisit the soundtrack. I love its design. It's use of color. It is a personal favorite that should be on everyone's radar. For fans, developers and everyone in between. Gamers and enthusiasts of art cannot go without recognizing a game which cements itself as an important part of gaming history. It could be a lot more difficult, but the game is really relaxed. Not uncaring, but melancholic, somber and overwhealmingly cool. Suave, Calculated, and Thoughtful. This game blends a lot of what being an older sibling or someone you look up to is like. Or that's what I imagine it to be, at the very least. In any case, this game holds a special place in my heart and if you should stumble upon the opportunity to play it, you will not be let down. It is the ultimate display of creativity in recent memory. Absolutely, hands down.

Parasite Eve II
Parasite Eve IIParasite Eve II is an action role-playing survival horror video game released exclusively for the PlayStation. The game was developed by Square and published in Japan in 1999 and in both North America and, unlike the previous game, in PAL regions in 2000. It is the sequel to Parasite Eve and the second game in the series of the same name. Parasite Eve II is set several years after the events in the original game. The protagonist from the first game, Aya Brea, also features in this game as the playable character. She becomes involved with another outbreak of Mitochondrial creatures. Gameplay diverges from the previous game: battles take place in real time and the area of action is less restrictive. The approach is more typical of traditional survival horror games, although some role-playing elements are retained.
