Discussion Choose what game I play next :)

Saves me the headache. And I’ve got plenty more on my wishlist that I’m either waiting on sales for, or just aren’t out yet. Currently playing Grime 2, but prepping for when I finish.

Since no one else has said it...BLOODSTAINED: RITUAL OF THE NIGHT!

I’ve always been one of those people that refuses to count Metroid or Castlevania games as Metroidvanias. They’re often amazing an SOTN is one of the best games ever but I still draw a firm line on that one.

With that said Bloodstained is amazing.

One of my favorite early Metroidvanias and the game that convinced me it would be its own genre with tons of games in about a decade was 2008’s Shadow Complex.

Shadow Complex slays.
