9 Years of Shadows (Colorful Music and Flying Bear Ghost Metroidvania)
There are a few necessary features for any title claiming the “metroidvania” tag to succeed. Let me lay them all out, alphabetically: difficulty, mechanics, plot, and themes. They need to be challenging, yet not infuriating, feature multiple avenues of development, item unlocks, and non-linear play. a sick good plot, and overreaching themes that give […]

Pronty (The Worst Part of Zelda as a Setup for One of the Best New Metroidvanias)
I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a water level. I personally believe that every mediocre game has to check off the “water level” box to make it feel true. Yet Pronty, a seemingly cutesy indie metroidvania, took that and made it the sole focus. But, in the end, they blew me out […]

Ender Lilies (Tender Spirit Summoning Metroidvania Game)
Beautiful, just beautiful. I’ve been picking at Ender Lilies for some time now, as I like to get the full feel of this type of game. You never know, they can start out strong, and finish as absolute trash due to weak mechanics and repetitive themes. But I doubted that from the beginning, and […]

Blasphemous (Foul Metroidvania Inquisition Murder Game)
Yeah wow. Let’s just make that the review; save you some time. Not me though because it took me like 15 minutes to write that. And it will take you about a million times that to fully conquer everything in this masterfully foul Spanish entry into the metroidvania genre, Blasphemous. It’s rare I find […]

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (Castle Game)
Oh damn it’s some Metroid Castlevania shoite, which hardcore gamers like to refer to as “Metroidvania” because we need new words for everything instead of just calling it by its damn title Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. It does give you some indication of what to expect, but probably not as good as just […]

Usurper (Metroidvania Darkness Ahoy)
I love user complaints, but especially concerning video games because anything negative is usually coming from a complete idiot running bad hardware. A fault with the self is hard to admit, it’s easier to blame someone else for your crappy Win-1o set up or connection speed, which has nothing to do with the game itself. It’s […]
