I thought it was just all right. About a 7.5/10. Not at bad but I think modern indie games have spoiled me.

Should I even try Aria of Sorrow?

Is it a better Metroidvania experience?

Can't account for bad taste.

A lot of SotN didn't age well. Menuing was poor and item pool was pretty much DoA. I can barely recall ever having to use healing items. Great gameplay and music though.

If you wanted to give another Castlevania game a try, I suggest Circle of the Moon.

Graphics and sound will be an unavoidable downgrade simply due to it being on the GBA, but AoS is much more tightly designed, and people rightfully praise the mechanic that lets you absorb enemy souls and use their abilities.

Well duh. It's like playing Path of Exile competitively and then playing Diablo 1. The experience will be diminished by a fuck ton.

Regarding Aria, it's very good, but not better than SotN.
