Picking only exclusives might be an interesting wrinkle since Killer7 is a Gamecube game.

you actually play as BIG PUSSY’s son and his ghost appears to you in like bodies of water, mirrors, etc. to advise you. it’s not a bad game, it’s a goofy brawler where you beat up jamaican drug dealers with pineapples for giving AJ Soprano a head injury and for whatever reason everyone was forced to provide their voices and you can play cards with christopher and tony and paulie for no reason in the menu whenever you want. fuckin dumb guy yakuza over here. you get to walk around a meticulously recreated bada bing between levels, one of the stages is just a law office where you try to take a piss and get assaulted by packs of lawyers because your dad was named big pussy. when you die james gandolfini tells you you’re a piece of shit and makes you restart the level. you can play through the entire thing in like a few hours. it owns

ok i’m begging everyone to please play dark alliance 2… why is the first one better?

It’s been a long time; I remember that it was just a bit more polished, like there was a lot of late-game stuff in 2 that felt rushed/very thinly fleshed out, whereas the original felt a bit more cohesive.

I played the shit out of both of them and the Champions of Norrath games as well.

I think a key part of the dark alliance experience is having the final dungeon randomly be connected to the hub area you’ve been visiting the entire game and the final level just being a big empty room with a boss in it so maybe that’s why I like 2

My favorite thing about those games, aside from being fun little consolified Diablo clones, was the water effects and the constant use of particle effects for magic items. Looked great!
