“Original characters are a must for me, and good writing is a plus. Combined with great gameplay from start to finish, it's an instant buy. Definitely! I only buy awesome games that most gamers around the planet…”
“Good games (except for adv1) but this collection should have rewind, that slow ass save state is not enough, I had to make a macro to save my game quickly because you have to do like 7 inputs to save the game then…”

“This is a collection of some of the best Castlevania games and is essential play for anyone who wants to really understand Castlevania's roots. Expect Classicvania, not Metroidvania. It's hard, it challenges you, it…”
“Yes I used AI to tidy up the structure of this review. After finishing the entire Castlevania Anniversary Collection, I wanted to properly reflect on each game. Playing them in order really highlights how the series…”

“classic castlevania. brutal games with catchy tunes. i'm salty about the fact that even though the japanese versions are available as well, they don't count toward the achievements -_-”
“Vampire killer best song”
“The graphics, the sounds—it all hit me with a deep wave of nostalgia. Overall, the Castlevania Anniversary Collection reminded me of a time when I was still happy. I love and hate it for that reason. 10/10 points”

“Annoying audio bug that will never be fixed makes this collection garbage. Some odd reason it will make everything have a high pitched crackling sound to it. You either turn off surround sound, uninstall/reinstall, or…”
“Review of the collection not the games themselves. (Played all games to completion.) This collection is overall definitely one of the worst retro game collections I have tried. Worst bug was the sound sounding terrible…”

“Just get the collection if you're a Castlevania fan and when it's on sale. Otherwise here is what I think about each games. Castlevania original : Banger game Castlevania II Simon's Quest : Banger game if you have a guide next to you Castlevania III Dracula's Curse : It's so…”
— a player, Steam review · 20 hrs played“Incredible package of games! While I've always preferred the Igavania titles, there's no denying how awesome the classics still are. Worth it for Super Castlevania IV and Castlevania Bloodlines alone. Konami please please PLEASE release Rondo of blood and Symphony of the night…”
— a player, Steam review · 14 hrs played“These are great games, in their original form. And probably in this form, too, but for me the game (including sound) plays at 2x speed (at least), and no video card setting adjustments from comments/online guides have fixed it.”
