Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, announced a Dec 4 release date for Switch 2 and Switch. (www.youtube.com)

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 1 week 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.

Needs no introduction in this sub. I'm getting this out just before hitting play.

Discover a vast, haunted kingdom in Hollow Knight: Silksong! Explore, fight and survive as you ascend to the peak of a land ruled by silk and song.

No reviews are out yet, but I really doubt you need one for this.

😏 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.

Bloomberg: Why ‘Silksong’ Took Seven Years to Make (www.bloomberg.com)
 

After six years of near-total silence from the developers and enough feverish anticipation to make it the most wish-listed game on Steam, the sequel to the indie hit Hollow Knight is releasing in two weeks. Team Cherry, the small team behind both games, announced the news Thursday in a trailer.

Why did it take so long?

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 3 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.

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 4 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 5 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.

New York Times Interactive Feature — Why We Love to Get Lost in Games: The Enduring Appeal of Metroidvanias in c/metroidvanias
[–] chrisbrummel 5 points 6 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?
