Metroidvania

Love the resurgence of Metroidvanias, can't wait to hear more info on Hollow Knight Silksong's release date.
Samus would be proud of the good shit coming out

It's more of 2D dark souls if anything

>Hidden gems?

It's Metroid + a bit of Majora's Mask + a bit of Zero Escape. There's a time limit leading to the planet blowing up, but you have time traveling and rewind powers to explore the map, solve puzzles and fight bosses.
Very unique and interesting game but it's really short.

I think so. You have to find upgrades in order to reach new areas within an interconnected map.

I love bunnyvanias.

>Ori 2
Meh.
>Bloodstained
Yes.
>ESA 2
Fuck yes but it's going to be a long time.
>Silksong
Hell yes.
>Rabi-Ribi 2
Very much yes.

La-Mulana is my favourite, followed closely by Hollow Knight and Super Metroid and La-Mulana 2.

Whoops, pressed post too early. Wanted to say I should probably play ESA sometime because I recently loved Baba is You and I discovered it's the same dev.

I've been pirating and playing a lot lately.
>Guacamelee 2
Maybe around halfway map completion. There's a LOT going on and I could easily busy myself for some time running around gathering even more collectibles. Combat is fun.
>Yoku's Island Express
I will likely never launch the client again but the game is cheery and bright, and the pinball element is nice. Maybe not necessarily a metroidvania.
>Sundered
I like it so far although I'm not very far. I'm getting strong Metroid Fusion vibes and I'm not excited for spooky shit to start cropping up.
>Supraland
I like the meta aspect of upgrades, and the graphics are nice/different. Not sure how I feel about first-person.

Salt and Sanctuary was such a good fucking game. Yes, it has metroidvania elements out the ass.

>Rabi-Ribi 2
when?

Why is Cave Story not on there you shit

When in the fuck are those aussie cunts going to give us more info on Silksong? Don't tell me E3.

Because it's not Metroidvania, for one thing.

>Order of Ecclesia in not a Metroidvania tier
Did you not rescue all the villagers?

I like this list. I don't like La Mulana and dont get why people do. Also what's wrong with Order of Ecclesia?

La Mulana

Even if that were the case (its not) Order of Ecclesia is literally included in its own "Not a Metroidvania" category

>Ori

I'll give it a chance because they apparently got the AM2R dude on it. But I don't really trust devs who say they want to "perfect the metroidvania genre" when the first game was barely even a metroidvania.

Is the mummy video game a good metroidvania or have people just been japing me?

>its not
It's linear as all shit, so yeah, it is. A bit of backtracking and the odd diverging path is not Metroidvania, if it was fucking RE and a whole slew of other games would qualify.
>Order of Ecclesia is literally included in its own "Not a Metroidvania" category
Which is also fucking stupid but a different issue since OoE is generally included with the rest of the GBA/DS Castlevanias. The category shouldn't be there regardless.

>But I don't really trust devs who say they want to "perfect the metroidvania genre" when the first game was barely even a metroidvania.
That's some serious fucking hubris right there.

Symphony of the Night does not hold up at all, its pretty boring.

Half a metroidvania is not a metroidvania.

Well at least they put an actually fun combat system in Ori 2 so I'm optimistic for the world design and the progression.

t. played the demo

It's good. Nothing amazing, but the soundtrack will stick with you.

It is good, you just have to skip all the dialogue and text and don't think about the plot too hard.

Yeah no doubt it'll be better and more fun than the first game I just don't think it's going to be the "best thing ever". That being said, I actually wished they just completely threw away all pretenses of combat and it being a metroidvania and instead solely focused on pure platforming. That would have been way more amazing.

pic related is basically Super Metroid+Binding of Isaac. It's not a pure metroidvania in the classic sense but still is heavily influenced by the genre

>still posting that shit list

I was actually disappointed that there were no bosses in the game and the areas ended only in escape sequence.

I don't like La Mulana either. The riddles are too obtuse and bring the gameplay to a halt. Platforming itself didn't feel too fluid either.

I played all of Bloodstained. It's great. I'll answer three questions.

Rei or Asuka

how big's the castle compared to other igavanias

Is the animation work as bad as it seems or is it worse?

how is the level design in the inverted castle?

Asuka

Pretty big. A few hidden areas. Certain areas directly correlate to SotN levels.

It's honestly not terrible. I had no issues with it, but I can see why people are turned off.

There is no inverted castle.

What's Yea Forums opinion on Chasm?

Did you see the new free content update they put out a few days ago? Looks pretty cool, and I want to actually return to it and give it another playthrough.

>Holy trinity
>3 games

>No mention of Steamworld Dig even though there's shit like Ori in that list

Yoku is great.
Supraland is surprisingly good, despite everything

I actually played a entire new run a few time ago but the new biome didn't spawned for me that time, at least I could collect a cool new weapon (the artificer beam)

I like them but find them difficult to discuss. It feels like what people like from the genre varies wildly.

La-Mulana 2 is definitely in Great tier and you're missing the best Shantae game.

>vision soft reset
Oh hell yes
That time mechanic was really neat

Dude I love LaMulana but Its not a metrovania and is not that good either.

It's not good even when you ignore the characters and the dialogues.
The world / level design is bland, it's easy as fuck, and the time traveling and time stop mechanics are uninteresting.

Same as everyone else's, it sucks.

>rabi ribi not the best metroidvania ever made
lmfao fucking PLEB TIER CHART.

Shit I didn't expect to find someone else who has played the game.
It's super obscure, even the dev itself doesn't give a shit about his own game now that he got a full-time job.

Can 2d roguelikes be considered metroidvanias?

>original Metroid
>meh
awful post

No.

Dead Cells could be considered a Metroidvania with Roguelite elements. Just like Chasm

Unepic and Ghost 1.0 are good Metroidvanias.

Mummy Demastered or something is also a decent Metroidvania.

All of this i played on Switch, heck i think i've played most metroidvanias in the Nintendo Switch.

Well that sucks.
I was kind of hoping for a sequel.
Hopefully he'll get fired or something.

Based.
We must spread the bunnypill further.
