Circle of the Moon
One of my all time favorites and also the hardest metroidvania, especially if you don't abuse the well known DSS glitch. It even has an optional challenge area that disables using magic. The game is very re-playable, with four additional modes to unlock which are different character builds for Nathan:
Magician mode starts with every DSS card, but makes the whip weak.
Fighter mode makes the whip very strong, but using magic is not allowed.
Shooter mode has an exclusive homing dagger and makes sub weapons strong, but the whip and magic are weak.
Thief mode boosts the luck stat extremely high (even at level 1 your luck is higher than level 99 of other modes) and items that normally have low drop rates are easily found, however all other stats are very low.

Harmony of Dissonance
One of the easiest games in the series, not far behind Symphony of the Night. It does have a hard mode, but the game has to be finished once to unlock it. I've beaten this game many times and I still sometimes forget where to go. Using the Konami code to play as Simon Belmont in Boss Rush mode was my favorite part of the entire game.

Aria of Sorrow
A very solid game, I don't really have any real issues with it. Even if you are going for 100% souls to get the Chaos Ring, it's really not that bad of a grind. This game has a NewGame+ feature and cool hard mode exclusive items to find for your second play through. Boss Rush mode also lets you earn unique items for your save file based on how good your time is.

Dracula XX
It resembles Rondo of Blood in a few ways, but it's really a completely different game. It's much harder too. If you are the kind of person that loves to do whip only runs, this game is out for your blood. The Dracula fight is brutal without using the axe. Be sure to play the uncensored Japanese version or you will explode into jizz when you die.

This soundtrack is currently broken! Steam will not download any music if you install it!

I originally fell in love with this game on the Nintendo Switch, so I'm very happy to have this on Steam. This is a solid port, and it works flawlessly on Steam Deck!

Daikatana, a game with decal textures truly ahead of its time.

Ever wondered what Half-Life was like BEFORE it was good? This should've just been a level for Sven Co-op.

This game is really good, ESPECIALLY THE CONTROLS!! It is pretty much the perfect game!

If you were a fan of F-Zero GX you'll love this as well.

If this is the 'complete pack' then why aren't Keen 6 & Keen Dreams included?

GAME OF THE YEAR ALL YEARS
