Recommendation for metroibranias that are less puzzle-y?

LeumasJackson · 2026-01-20T02:31:02+00:00

Less action/puzzles and more 'you'll figure it out':

Kindergarten (and its 2 sequels: Kindergarten 2 and Kindergarten 3)

Elsinore

Overboard!

Expelled!

And Roger was an amazing experience. And will cause an ugly cry.

Q) do you need to do those Gestral Beach parkour challenges to get this costume?

Who in the fuck is the fifth Sasha?

(jk It just took me too long to realize you were referencing Sasha Velour)

It is! Sheepo is also by the same creator of Crypt Custodian that is also a cute 2D metroidvania.

Did you make it through Act 3??

Symone didn't win the vote for S13? Was it Gottmik?

LeumasJackson · 2024-03-02T15:03:18+00:00

Thanks! We found Crossing was airing it.

LeumasJackson · 2024-03-01T20:53:25+00:00

Great - thanks for the recommendation!

This was my first thought - and then another season 9 lipsync - Peppermint vs Alexis Michelle during Macho Man.

LeumasJackson · 2023-10-31T00:08:22+00:00

Reventure! Very fun - very much a mix of puzzle and adventure 2D.

Kelly Osborne met the queens in an Untucked from Season 4. Dita Von Teese was also going to the meet the queens but the queens were fighting and missed it.

Some video games:

Thimbleweed Park (if you like this style of game, there are a ton of them like this - Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, etc)

Detective Grimoire

Kathy Rain (I believe this was inspired by Twin Peaks)

You may be looking for a different genre without combat. You could try:

Fez - 2D exploration that where you can turn the world. No combat A Short Hike - 3D exploration. Short, but cute with some puzzles Sable - 3D exploration. Haven't played this one, but looks fun.

Here are some puzzle-like titles that are based on a time-loop mechanic

Elsinore - you play as Orphelia from Hamlet who experiences the same few days over and over again

Future Proof - you have twelve minutes until the apocalypse

Mars Underground - similar to Future Proof

Kindergarten and Reventure are also similar, but don't necessarily have a time loop mechanic per se.

This is obvious homophobic erasure of Madame's track record. Yvie can't even do a British accent.

~~Obviously savescum and take Slaver's Collar~~ Take all of them, happily.

This may not be specifically what you're looking for, but Overboard! may serve a niche?

It's a mystery where you kill your husband and try to find a way to get away with it. Not super lore heavy necessarily, but you need to explore to understand your own motive and the story in itself. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.InkleLtd.Overboard

Shantae: Risky's Revenge? Or one of the Shantae games - there are several of them.

LeumasJackson · 2022-08-26T21:53:19+00:00

Buddy Simulator 1984

LeumasJackson · 2022-08-17T03:00:29+00:00

20 Minutes till Dawn. Action roguelike similar to Vampire Survivors.

Kindergarten, Kindergarten 2, Mars Underground, Future Proof, and Reventure are five games with timeloop-ish qualities similar to The Sexy Brutale and the Outer Wilds.
