Its not a structure that inherently appeals to me, and its a malleable enough term, that I never quite knew which were the ones for me. I dont really consider myself a metroidvania person, or at least not to the extent a lot of people are. I also really like that there are a finite number of monsters, which makes it satisfying to clear an area. Its a relatively short game (took me 6 hrs to do everything) with a small scope, but its packed nonetheless with secrets, and weapons variety. A lot of monsters hide in the shadows and cant be attacked until youve shine a flashlight on them, so youll run through a room catching a glimpse of something or hearing some scuttling in an unknown direction. Its not a scary game, but it has a cute-spooky aesthetic that especially carries through in one of its major mechanics, which is your flashlight. One of the first mobility upgrades you could get is a backflip that lets you jump higher and it involves dashing in one direction then jumping while pulling in the opposite direction, which feels weight-y, and a bit frantic during combat. Theres a dash that you really have to commit to, and carries a lot of momentum. The controls are responsive and have quite a distinctive feel. Everything just looks, sounds, and feels really good in this game from the chunky pixels, to the banging soundtrack, to the crunch in all the sound effects. Tres-Bashers is a metroidvania in which you play a little mouse kid beating up cryptids who have taken over the school. where azuarc eats gurus PumpkinCoach posted in pumpkin's. There will be write-ups, but its been too long and ive forgotten how to write so they wont be as insightful as they could be. some of which i would have bought anyway and some of which i might have dismissed otherwise, but either way idk, im a bit ambivalent about a single service dictating such a large portion of my playing habits or taste. It was also a year in which i had game pass, and a little over half this list is stuff I played through game pass. there wasnt a whole lot separating some of the list from what missed the cut and as such, there will be a bunch of honourable mentions. a lot of great games, just not a lot that jumped out as a favourite. but that game is very long, and its february.ΔΆ021 was a pretty good year for games, but there wasnt much that resonated with super strongly - i ranked it from 1 to 10 as you do but it still didnt look quite right. I was going to make this list after I finished the great ace attorney chronicles.
