NBIceman 07/11/21 12:49:15 AM #345:	Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (PS4) Metroidvanias were a genre that just completely passed me by as a kid for whatever reason. Certainly never avoided them intentionally - just so happened that I was always playing something else. And to this day, I still have never actually played an official Metroid or Castlevania game. But I've completely fallen in love with the genre over the last year or two, and this is another great example to add to the list. The lovely music, the interesting areas that never overstay their welcome (well, except for the Forbidden Underground Waterway), the formula that's pretty much been perfected at this point of frequent, incremental improvements to the protagonist... Just a dang good time. The problem with Metroidvanias is that they really, really tempt my completionist tendencies, but I was able to mostly resist the urge this time. I was very close to 100% map completion when I beat the final boss, so I went ahead and finished that up afterward along with the secret bosses, but that'll be where I stop with this one for now. I know it's still getting content updates so that could certainly renew my interest in maybe going after that Platinum one day, though. Video game Kickstarter successes are pretty few and far between but I'd say this definitely qualifies. And we even got two Curse of the Moon games out of it as a bonus (the second of which I just now grabbed in the Steam sale and will likely be the next title I run through). All of us on B8 enjoy ragging (mostly affectionately) on our fellow posters when it comes to their tastes in pretty much every form in media, but at the end of the day, they've never really steered me wrong when it comes to video games. So for everyone who posted in that topic I made a month or two ago asking if this game was worth the buy, thanks for helping me get down off the fence! --- https://imgur.com/UYamul2 Spurs - Yankees - Eagles - Golden Knights - Longhorns <cite>NBIceman posted [p:955961721] in Post Each ...
