This is the one part I'll actually agree with, the catacombs stage is fucking terrible. Too many instant deaths, not enough checkpoints and you have to slog through it all just to face a random number generator with the disappearing bridge. I'm always tempted to skip it but pride demands I actually progress through the game naturally and eventually I always make it.

This stage and the bits with the collapsing stairs are the only bullshit parts, though, The rest of the game is fun as fuck. Think I'll break out my SNES and play it again, thanks for reminding me what an awesome game this is OP

>Super Castlevania IV is another example of a game that people uncritically praise because a commercial in the 90s told them it's the bee's knees

I grew up in the 90's and I remember a lot of commercials for Sonic but don't think I ever saw one for Castlevania VI.

People praise it because it's a great looking game with maybe the best soundtrack in the series and not everybody thinks enhanced controls and responsiveness are a downgrade. Yes, IV is easier than III. That's an improvement. III's difficulty was set to "assrape"

4. For me it got the aesthetic just right and has the best music, I don't care if it's "easy" compared to something like 3, 3 bordered on masochism.
