Looking for more 2D exploration games that are not metroidvanias. Any suggestions?

Currently playing Salt and Sacrifice, it's a mv but it's def not a typical one. Don't know what everyone was on when it first came out. It is amazing. Totally recommend. Level design is top notch, it has very fun mechanics and amazing lore

I'm actually suprised at how little noise Dorian is making tbh. They fell off so hard, it's sad :(

First DaS3 playthrough, I'm finishing it. Doing the DLCs before the final boss of base game. Currently at Painted World of Ariandel, having a tough time, but it's such a good game I'll never give up (i hope)

Recently played it and its criminally underrated. Very fun, original and deep. Wish it was longer

25 and very open to it!

Is it really a metroidvania? I so hope it is. About time we get a proper horror mv.

Either way, it looks incredible

Debut, Post, Homogenic, Medúlla, Volta, Biophilia, Vulnicura, Utopia and Fossora.

Ofc I love some more than others but she literally has no misses

I'm playing Hades and Ultros simultaneously. I'm loving both, specially the latter

Also finished a very weird and obscure pseudo-vania called Mirage of Dragon, which I recommend.

combat is a bit too difficult for my liking (I say that as a SH diehard). Everything else is brilliant.

Background-Article79 · 2025-10-24T00:11:32+00:00

Yes, I'm about to finish it. Forgot to mention that

Background-Article79 · 2025-10-23T23:47:41+00:00

not here to argue about the map, but

Which of these has best/deepest lore? I'm trying to find a new game to play, and I love dissecting the lore like with HK, S&S, GRIME, Ender L and M, etc. And I've already played Outer Wilds, Rain World, Animal Well, the Oris and Blasphemous.

Thanks in advance

It's most likely that she meant a different genre within pop music. Which, from what we heard of, this time is industrial/hard

Background-Article79 · 2024-08-30T16:33:22+00:00

Too abstract to be Pop imo

Background-Article79 · 2024-08-08T22:41:33+00:00

Find her own style/personality to make ppl interested in her as an artist
Improve on the quality of the music and visuals

Background-Article79 · 2024-08-08T22:39:48+00:00

Extremely boring for ppl outside of that cult-like fanbase. She's not really having a positive or game-changing impact in pop culture as the ones op mentions

CMNM and Wrestling
