    Metal Wolf Chaos is an old game with a wild reputation, and though it lives up to it in some ways, it's not good in general. At best, it's a curio that helps inform the story of From Software's trajectory over the years. At worst, it's a frustratingly shallow experience that fails to capitalize on it's best qualities.

    Metal Wolf Chaos XD is one of those re-releases where even though I can’t recommend everyone immediately rush out and buy it, I’m really happy it exists. It might not be the greatest game in the world, but it’s a unique cultural artifact that didn’t deserve to be locked away on Japan-exclusive Xbox discs forever.

    Completely botched remaster in its current state. Unacceptable for them to release it like this. A remaster should not look this much worseCompletely botched remaster in its current state. Unacceptable for them to release it like this. A remaster should not look this much worse than the original game 15 years later.
