Honestly? Probably Atari deciding that it was a great idea to piss off their all their talent, directly leading to the creation of Activision and indirectly introducing shovelware & bundling to video games, including

Holy poo poo post thoughts after you complete it.

One of my favourite games of all time.
Some of the best boss fights in the series.

On chapter 7 so far, and really enjoying the story and gameplay. Like you said, the boss fights are really good, and all of the different scenarios do a great job at breaking up the flow. Nothing feels like padding or wasting your time.

Sony gave out free games in 2011 when PSN was down for nearly a month after hackers broke in and stole a ton of data. Not sure if any of these are 5 years old, indie, or terrible
