I should probably play CotM2, I liked CotM1 a surprising amount and a lot more than RotN (I really like Metroidvanias and don't like Classicvanias, but RotN was just. Soulless. and that isn't an AoS/DoS pun.)

The characters in this game have sluggish movements, and I like it that way; every jump is a commitment, and every attack comes at a potential cost. Of course, I've said that I don't like Dark Souls, and I'm basically describing Dark Souls, which is sort of hard to square; I guess it's because I'm not very good at 3D action games and 2D platformers are kinda my native tongue, so to speak, so I'm just more used to this kind of thing.

For me the camera's a big part of it, I'm much more willing to give good faith effort to these sorts of deliberate mechanics if I can actually see what the fuck is going on.
