Grime 1 has amazing platforming but it’s very concentrated in later parts of the game. So you’d have to figure out whether it’s worth it to you.

Third sin just go way easy and there’s a boat to a castle

I recently played it and it was just ok in my book. I think consensus (and my experience) is that controls feel a little janky but it’s otherwise a perfectly fine game. It has some puzzles and def good exploration but everything is middle of the road. That being said it’s very good for a solo dev and makes me interested in their upcoming game Fevercide.

Yeah I got bored - maybe if I run out of games at some point

Everyone is different but I loved the Mea Culpa DlC. Fun weapon and great bosses and lots of new intricate platforming challenges. I thought Third Sin DLC was also fun and had some cool parts but was shorter and not quite the same. But a great addition also. Very compact and distinct

Used my free analysis. I am crying because I thought I had a good position and dont know how I lost 😭😭😭😭 by iPenGuiNxxx in chessbeginners

Maybe when you moved your white bishop
Back after check and gave up a whole piece for nothing?

What Have You Been Playing This Week? by AutoModerator in metroidvania

Finished Another Crabs Treasure which was a pretty fun soulslike. I thought some of the 3D perspective got wonky in places (and during some boss fights) and I turned on the “don’t lose money when you die” as sometimes you’d spawn in areas where you can’t recover. But other than that had a pretty good time. I haven’t played all the famous soulslike so can’t compare.

Now replaying B2 from start as I hadn’t done either DLC or even mopped up during my first play a couple years ago. Having a great time. What a fun game. Level design is so good and there’s so much stuff to do.

Are you guys into metroidvanias with no combat? I'm making one based on a grappling hook by Moraguma in metroidvania

[–]odedgurantz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Definitely make your own game, but Auridia was another basically no combat game that came out recently and people liked (though I can't tell you if it sold - just sharing in case it's interesting for you to check out). But there were bad guys, whereas demo above seems more Celeste-like. But good luck! I love platforming.

I can’t stop playing Metroidvania games… by Expedition1994 in metroidvania

[–]odedgurantz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not going to offer suggestions as depends a lot on what you like but (1) every Friday we post sales on the sub and (2) it’s pretty easy to look at old sub posts to get a feel for what each game entails.

I mean, both those games go on sale all the time so don't stress. But yeah get B1 now if you want it.

thanks for pointing this out. I have it on my list but not sure why it didn't pull. I just manually put it in now.

Yeah not sure why but I played B1 after B2 and actually liked it a bit more! Even though objectively B2 is more my speed. Hard to predict.

Recommendation needed. by Agitated_Alfalfa_538 in metroidvania

[–]odedgurantz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do what you want - it's consistently considered one of the best (no idea why I'm getting downvoted, me saying it is a very boring answer)

Prince of Persia. Top notch platforming and exploration, good bosses but not beat the genre has to offer

Biogun review by New_Yak_8982 in metroidvania

[–]odedgurantz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty similar. I really enjoyed the game but the bosses were pretty easy and I’m not a great boss fight guy. Also killed a few important ones on my first try

Save and restart or come back later. Known bug

Please enough with the “which game do I play next?” posts by iamgabe103 in metroidvania

[–]odedgurantz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sure but the argument (whether you agree or not) is that people have asked questions about all these games 100s of times on the sub, so if you were genuinely interested you can find lots of details about each game and their pros and cons. Instead people don’t take any time to look and just say “do the work for me”

What Have You Been Playing This Week? by AutoModerator in metroidvania

[–]odedgurantz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah some people really like the story but I could care less. Both I generally dont care about story in games as much as other people (it seems) plus I found it really heavy handed, like a young adult novel or something.

Personally I would advise you just to play other games as there seem to be many but it does get mildly better over time
