While this was disappointing to see it’s hard to be too critical on the collection for this based on how well the games themselves perform (which is really what we’re playing it for at the end of the day) and it’s really reasonable price point. If you’ve played these games before there isn’t anything new here besides being on a new system for the first time with enabled trophy support. But for those that haven’t, do yourselves a favour and spend the $24.95 and pick this collection up.

Castlevania Requiem combines two of the best games in the Castlevania series. However, it does just that. The bare-bones presentation and weird mistakes keep this from becoming a must own collection.

This is a collection for anybody who has missed two of the best Konami games ever made. Castlevania Requiem Collection comes with the glorious franchise "Symphony of Night" and "Rondo of Blood", this time only on PS4. The overall feeling is the same with a noticeable graphic improvement and amazing gameplay, but the lack of new content hurts this collection a bit. Castlevania Requiem is a collection you should not miss it

A heresy for me to belittle the historical value of these two excellent games. I think that everyone who has not been able to play them at some point in life has here one of the best opportunities today to make them. However, Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night & Rondo of Blood, as a product, is a terrible job by Konami. I dare say that it is a lazy way for the company to earn more money on such a valuable and important franchise. We have no additional content to add value to the package. The game's exclusivity to PS4 is also questionable. Personally, I don't see any reasons to prevent the release of ‘Requiem’ for other platforms such as PC or even the Switch, which would be a great addition to the console library due to its portability.

Even with its Requiem port-specific flaws, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is a gaming classic that stands the test of time.
