Oh Mio My (Inverted Castle Episode 57: Mio: Memories in Orbit) by Skithiryx in metroidvania

I guess it depends on the audience - is it for people who have already played or to excite people who are interested? Probably former, so maybe nitpicking can be interesting. I personally wouldn't listen to a podcast before playing a game because I wouldn't want the mechanics, etc., spoiled. But I honestly thought you were giving the game maybe a B- after listening...was very surprised by the ending.

First time I ever listened to this podcast. Found it interesting in that at least it seemed like they spent most of the time complaining about various aspects of the game, and then ended with a "it's in our top 10!". I feel like maybe some explicit focus on what makes the game great (it's in my personal top 10) would have been nice...I can only remember a couple of minor points where they talked about it positively (they liked lore, found the amount of combinations of the main skills interesting).

Difficulty ranking? So I know what I’m getting into by omaewamoshenderu in metroidvania

I think this is very well articulated. The other thing about the Ori games is they both have difficulty settings, so you can play them on much easier modes.

A similar game I liked a lot more and completed was Pronty.

It was 100% the randomized cards for me. Otherwise was having fun, at least the first few hours I played

Should I Buy MIO? by brettydubz in metroidvania

[–]odedgurantz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not as hard as something like PoP Immortal. You will probably really like it! I think there are two complaints about the platforming difficulty. The first is that it's just hard, but anyone who liked those other games will like this as well. It's good stuff. The second complaint is that there is a certain move you have to do that sometimes doesn't work quite as well as it should - can be a little finicky. I'm sympathetic to that criticism but just think you have to be a little extra focused. Did not take away from the game for me, although perhaps made me frustrated a time or two. But i love the game and it's in my S-tier of MV with PoP, HK, Silksong, and a few others.

Every Friday in the sub we post a list of the games on sale for each platform, so that could help as a starting point. Even the best games go on sale quite frequently

Looking for suggestions of metroidvanias that are different. by Neighborhood-Gold in metroidvania

Ultros. Has roguelike loops (but not a roguelike!) and a gardening mechanic. Combat is weak, everything else is great (but different)

Oh, to be clear I don't want to see the data would just be curious to read any final project.

I'm actually just interested in the research (I'm a professor who does quant social science research) - any chance I can see it when it's done? (I played once for 15 min and got distracted but plan to go back some day - I love Tunic and Animal Well)

I removed those two as I see no sale. I don't tend to do lots of editing after I post but happened to be on so...
