Oh no, two live service cesspools didn’t get released.

Hollow Knight never did it for me for some reason. I’m sure it’s great, but I just can’t get into it. Like, at all.

Same here so it’s not just you. I switched to Disney+ and it worked though.

Gunstar fucking Heroes. You’re a gentleperson and a scholar.

It’s hilarious and incredible how we still haven’t made a Metroidvania game that solidly and undeniably bests the game that added the -vania in the first place.

No, you work 40 hours a week to bail out unsustainable businesses, give tax breaks to billionaires, clean up unpunished pollution, and support the infrastructure that allows corporations to pay starvation wages for 40 hour work weeks instead of living wages.

Get fucked! 🫡

Binding of Isaac is some OG classic stuff if you haven’t played that one, and Neon Abyss is a fun side-scrolling game on a similar vibe. Rogue Legacy 1 (very OG) and 2 and Dead Cells are also side scrolling , with a dash of Metroidvania.

If you like Slay the Spire, Astrea is the same thing but with dice, and Monster Train also scratches the same itch.
