I'm sure you already know, but it's out — Hollow Knight: Silksong, a metroidvania about gross bugs, is out on all major platforms (I guess Playstation is coming…) in c/metroidvanias
[–] chrisbrummel 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I really liked that Nine Sols had an difficulty slider. It was much harder for me than Hollow Knight, but I could adjust the slider instead of banging my head against the wall. I sometimes can enjoy the satisfaction of completing something tough, but I have limited time to play games and it’s getting trickier with a young child.

Hollow Knight: Silksong, a metroidvania that some people might be excited about, is announced for a September 4th 2025 release date on all major platforms. in c/metroidvanias

😏 just a little…

I have a 15-month-old, so I’m going to hire a full time au-pair so I can play this game.

Bolt & Whalington, a unique metroidvania with a "meta" mechanic that rewrites the game, is announced for PC with an unknown release window in c/metroidvanias
[–] chrisbrummel 2 points 4 months ago

That’s my description. The mechanic is something I haven’t heard of before. It may be gimmicky, but we’ll see…

Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement, the sequel to the Castlevania-inspired metroidvania hit, is announced for PS5 with co-op in 2026 in c/metroidvanias
[–] chrisbrummel 2 points 5 months ago

It seems like it, but isn’t crystal clear. The Steam listing has “online co-op” listed, but Artplay doesn’t talk about it in their press. I’ve seen other places highlight it, but they could be mistaken.

Supraworld, a First-Person-Puzzle-Metroidvania sequel to Supraland, is announced for PC in c/metroidvanias

Thanks! How are you viewing it when you use Lemmy? In a browser? Voyager? Curious as I don’t think playback is consistent across platforms.

The Last Vanguard, a toon-styled metroidvania, announces it's coming out of Steam Early Access and will release on PC on May 15 in c/metroidvanias
[–] chrisbrummel 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The Early Access reviews are “mostly positive”, so here’s to hoping they iron out the kinks. I like the style, but will be cautiously optimistic until I see the final reviews.

Twilight Monk, an RPG metroidvania is out today on PC and Switch with pretty good reviews in c/metroidvanias
[–] chrisbrummel 4 points 7 months ago

Last year felt like the best year for releases, and this year has a ton of bangers already and may end up beating 2024.

There are some great releases on the horizon. I’m about to post about the new Metroid and the dystopian Pac-Man metroidvania.

Good times.

After you play a bit, I’d love to hear what you think

New York Times Interactive Feature — Why We Love to Get Lost in Games: The Enduring Appeal of Metroidvanias in c/metroidvanias
[–] chrisbrummel 5 points 8 months ago

I was surprised by the focus on Ultros, but not Animal Well. That game is already one of the genre’s hallmarks. I liked Ultros, but know it’s not for everyone. Animal Well isn’t as traditional an entry, but a smash hit.

Momodora: Moonlit Farewell, the popular 5th entry in the metroidvania series, is releasing on consoles on Feb. 6th in c/metroidvanias

Yeeeaaahhh…🧐 I think that snake isn't alone. Some of the other screenshots feature some mamajamas.

Out of curiosity, if someone posts a YouTube link and you auto play the video, what gets shared with YouTube?
