Hollow Knight gets great reviews. I adored Steamworld Dig 2, though it’s a little different to a pure METROIDVANIA. Axiom Verge is very good too and a decent challenge. Cave Story fits this bill too from what I know of it.
Shovel Knight is also great. Slightly more of a platformer though.
Yeah I was trying to do all the secret levels but by the 5th world it got too hard and I just thought “fuck it” and finished it up as quick as possible
Yeah same. I was getting all the KONG letters and unlocking everything, but just got a bit tired of it by World 5. I’ve generally enjoyed it, but wish I hadn’t paid £40 for it!
I don’t think they feel very different as world’s - but the levels do! Like they don’t really fit in with the themes most of the time. The Sawmill level stands out, as does the darkness water level. Really awesome levels.
But I agree. I find it is totally awesome, but I’m at the world 5 boss and realising that, bar maybe six or so secret levels and exits I am still to find and the puzzle bits, there is only one more world? That’s a bit disappointing. I have cracked 15 hours on it, but I’ve truly been spoiled by Odyssey and BotW.
It is one of the best platformers I’ve played since Super Meat Boy absolutely, but does seem a little light on content and replayablility for someone who doesn’t care about the time attack stuff.
On the fence. When I’m playing it I’m frustrated and pissed off at how awesome it is and having a ball… But afterwards it feels like it needed more? Who knows.
Yeah I guess odyssey and sonic mania have spoiled me. Reckon apart from the main theme a lot of the music lacks the sort of energetic punch I want from a platformer too. Can’t underestimate how important great music is in this sort of game
Mine isnt issues with the wireless thing that a lot had but the control stick just felt a bit off and the L3 click was a bit mushy. Might just live with it. Only really noticed it on Fortnite where you use the L3 click a lot to run. Plus dont want to be stuck without when Octopath launches. If it gets any worse I’ll get onto them.
Cheers for the info though mate.
