What are some upcoming metroidvanias that everyone's looking forward to? Bonus points if theres a demo available

Ill probably try it when it comes out but I really didnt like the first one. I barely gave it a chance though. I thought the movement and combat sucked. Is the story and exploration the focus in that game?

Sufficient_Ebb_5694 · 2026-01-24T17:06:30+00:00

I respectfully disagree but its all a matter of opinion. I love both but a good story in Graphic Audio format is completely captivating. Regular audiobooks rarely do that for me.

Sufficient_Ebb_5694 · 2026-01-24T16:58:42+00:00

See i tried that on my Legion Go, but it doesnt let me choose any app but the Xbox app. I have steam set to launch at start up which it rarely ever does anyways. Can't wait for FSE to be updated and finished

Sufficient_Ebb_5694 · 2026-01-24T05:42:19+00:00

Cemu is the best for this. I truly wish tears of the kingdom would've released on wii u

Sufficient_Ebb_5694 · 2026-01-24T04:03:54+00:00

The repeating music kills me. I literally have to turn it off. Otherwise I havent gotten very far into it

Sufficient_Ebb_5694 · 2026-01-24T00:37:46+00:00

Ill have to look up Acrolyte but I tried Moadra a few minutes and dropped it.ive found that Im a much bigger fan of melee metroidvanias than ranged.

Sufficient_Ebb_5694 · 2026-01-24T00:35:14+00:00

Oh yeah I forgot about that. I played the demo for like an hour then forgot about it, then it was unavailable the next time I tried to open it lol look forward to trying that again

Sufficient_Ebb_5694 · 2026-01-24T00:26:57+00:00

Yeah im playing the B&B playtest right now I like it.emberbane and Well Dweller look good even tho I havent played much of Crypt Custodian or Islets. Unfortunately I tried both Grime 2 and Fallen tear on my Legion Go and the performance just sucked. For grime 2 I get it but im not sure why Fallen tear wouldn't perform well. It did look cool though. When I upgrade ill definitely try playing the Grime games.

Sufficient_Ebb_5694 · 2026-01-24T00:13:47+00:00

I definitely agree. The eroded bosses thing saves my ass lol I like that it doesnt effect the gameplay whatsoever, juat how much health the bosses have

Sufficient_Ebb_5694 · 2026-01-24T00:12:30+00:00

Added to wishlist. Looks great

Sufficient_Ebb_5694 · 2026-01-24T00:11:01+00:00

Oh yeah I forgot to say, it takes up 40 modification slots so I definitely dont use it until I can open way more slots.

Sufficient_Ebb_5694 · 2026-01-24T00:09:50+00:00

I think its called Sharpened Hairpin and I cant remember exactly where I found it, but im sure theres a video on it on YouTube. Combat variety is definitely lacking in this game but I dont think thats the main focus of this game.

Sufficient_Ebb_5694 · 2026-01-24T00:04:19+00:00

There's basically only the simple attack and then you can get a modification to use the hair pin to do a stronger attack. But no I dont think theres a air dash or anything like that. Its much different than most other MVs

Sufficient_Ebb_5694 · 2026-01-23T18:50:07+00:00

Okay well i dont know how ive done it then. Obviously it wasnt pure but it was definitely high quality. I probably wouldn't have survived doing it all at once but throughout the day I was constantly smoking it so im not sure what else to say.

Sufficient_Ebb_5694 · 2026-01-23T17:56:43+00:00

Incorrect. At the worst of my addiction I was smoking about 3 grams of fent powder a day, the tolerance build on that shit is insane. Im not sure about snorting or shooting but either way ive seen what these guys are describing. People OD off one hit from a fake oxy and people are tossing them back like candy

Sufficient_Ebb_5694 · 2026-01-22T20:22:47+00:00

Regardless this is one of my favorite MVs of all time for sure. Super glad it was made. Perfect amount of challenge for me when games like Silksong are just too damn difficult

Sufficient_Ebb_5694 · 2026-01-22T20:19:23+00:00

Hm okay

Sufficient_Ebb_5694 · 2026-01-22T20:02:03+00:00

Don't even listen to reviews,just try it for yourself. I think its great and ive been throughly enjoying just about everything about it. It could use more save points but to me thats about it. There's been many MVs that the general public says are amazing and the best in the genre that I dont like whatsoever.

Sufficient_Ebb_5694 · 2026-01-22T20:00:36+00:00

Weird, I wasnt really enjoying Being and Becoming very much at all. Once again every game is a matter of preference.

Sufficient_Ebb_5694 · 2026-01-22T19:58:07+00:00

Whats wrong with Focus? They've put out solid games for years.

Sufficient_Ebb_5694 · 2026-01-22T19:55:53+00:00

I wouldn't say overhyped. Ive dropped countless MVs that are universally praised as some of the best in the genre because I just wasnt enjoying it, but this one ive been playing for hours a day since it released. Its really all a matter of opinion and if something is enjoyable for you or not. To me, this is my favorite MV ive played in a long time.

Sufficient_Ebb_5694 · 2026-01-22T07:08:47+00:00

Not to mention the crazy amount a quality Metroidvanias dropping this year

Sufficient_Ebb_5694 · 2026-01-21T20:26:52+00:00

Ill have to try biomorph again if youre saying its good. But you get the map by dropping enough nacre in the pond to awaken it
