So, this is what actual effort and talent looks like without being carried by fomo and hype

Yeah, La Mulana is pretty cool.

I like Nine Sols the same way I like Nioh compared to Dark Souls. They're similar but doing very different things with their vision. Silksong is like Hollow Knight's Sekiro

Too bad it has shit sound design , aren't there any good sound designers in taiwan?

A perfect party sound is sex. Get fucked, idiot.

I got as far as the centaur boss and was bored the whole time. Very ugly areas, shit writing, uninteresting enemies. There was nothing keeping me engaged.

Pls just post some cute Ji, thx

>soulsfags when they see colors

I wish Nine Sols got half the attention Hollow Knight did.

The soundtrack is also fucking fantastic

I wish Yi was real

And he’d give me this look ;(

>but actually iterates on them in interesting ways
Name one. Locking fast travel until later, but also having dogshit inter connectivity makes it such a slog.

But the only mechanic that matters is.. parrying. Very original

Some of the boss fights were beyond cool, i replayed them just for fun because they were so enjoyable and beautiful to play. The setting overall was cool for the whole game, but overall its like mid+; short no replay value and theres only like 6 bosses in the entire game

>Unskippable cutscenes
>Forced walking segments
>Barely any backtracking with new abilities, so barely a metroidvania
>Non-boss enemies more frustrating than fun

This game was a fucking SLOG dude. I got half way through and dropped it. I was promised a metroidvania and this is the weakest implementation of those features that I've ever played hands down, and I've played dozens

When does it get good? I just beat the tall cat man that you poison after the prison.

OP didn't name Silksong though.

>>720375123
What about games literally in the name of metrovania?

>>720372987 (OP)
Is this about the weird ARG thing they posted?

>>720372987 (OP)
Is the Switch Port any good? Hows the input lag?

>>720375665
yeah it felt like exploration didnt matter. then the first real boss just two shots you with janky hitboxes. i beat it and then quit.

"Metroidvania" has become a slur to me. The people who like them seem to be the fucking insufferable faggots around, like what people say stereotypical soulsfags are like except completely unironic. If NS is a bad metroidvania, then I consider it a good thing.
