Thanks! How are you viewing it when you use Lemmy? In a browser? Voyager? Curious as I don’t think playback is consistent across platforms.
The Early Access reviews are “mostly positive”, so here’s to hoping they iron out the kinks. I like the style, but will be cautiously optimistic until I see the final reviews.
Last year felt like the best year for releases, and this year has a ton of bangers already and may end up beating 2024.
There are some great releases on the horizon. I’m about to post about the new Metroid and the dystopian Pac-Man metroidvania.
Good times.
After you play a bit, I’d love to hear what you think
I was surprised by the focus on Ultros, but not Animal Well. That game is already one of the genre’s hallmarks. I liked Ultros, but know it’s not for everyone. Animal Well isn’t as traditional an entry, but a smash hit.
For those interested, !metroidvanias@infosec.pub
I yield my support to whomever can do sick-ass layups
Lemme finish!!!
…next year, and then I’ll wait another 3 years
It was fantastic and I look forward to it next year!
Congrats to her and Raygun’s new found fame. I loved watching the whole thing and look forward to watching the men’s competition tomorrow.
You just described what I’m going through 100%.
FYI: c/metroidvanias
Love both, and very excited for their next game, No Rest for the Wicked - which I don’t know if it’s been said explicitly, but is rumored to also be a Metroidvania.
I know it might be a little cliché, but I would still rank Hollow Knight as my #1 Metroidvania, but these two are my #2A and #2B, even after loving the new Prince of Persia. The level of polish is incredible and Wisps just cranked it up even more.
I enjoyed the video the IGN posted about them yesterday.
Just saw it in the update. Thank you!!
It’s one of my all time favorite movies, but you’re not alone. I’ve talked to a handful of people who say the same. My parents don’t “get it”, but I suspect that has something to do with the fact that a big theme of the movie is about being “of” the internet, being always connected, and unable to escape the weight of the world. It’s a very generational theme that isn’t relatable for them.
Being that you’re posting this on Lenny leads me to bet that’s not something you share with them 🤷🏼♂️
While I definitely wish there was more under ACA, but to call it “jack shit” is too far. I know too many people who’ve hugely benefited from it to act like it’s nothing.
Are you comparing the band teacher to Nazi’s?
Some. Silksong is easily the most anticipated Metroidvania and has been delayed a bunch, but the Unity drama really complicates its release.
It seems like it, but isn’t crystal clear. The Steam listing has “online co-op” listed, but Artplay doesn’t talk about it in their press. I’ve seen other places highlight it, but they could be mistaken.
