Been a couple years now. Worth $20?

Awesome game. The best indie Metroidvania other than the Ori series, IMO.

If you're looking for something to scratch the SotN itch reeeally well (it's an extremely similar successor that offers little in the way of originality), then yeah it's worth $20. Not worth $40.

I didn't enjoy it as much as A/D of Sorrow.

It's pretty good. Nothing mindblowing but it's well-made and worth playing if you're in a Metroidvania mood. I wouldn't call it a must-play unless you are specifically into Castlevania.

Great game.
Some people complain that it's unoriginal, but most games are unoriginal and I don't see why it's gotta be marred like that.

On Switch the startup sequence is like 30 seconds of a blank white screen. I'm actually waiting for that to be patched before deciding to give the game another chance. From what I played though it was not great, but had the potential to get better. The protagonist's design is kind of silly.

Super cool game if you're looking for something very Castlevania-y. Its equivalent to the soul system is extremely fun to mess around with. Just don't get it on Switch.

I found it pretty average from the 3-4 hours that I played it.

I played it last year and thought it was great. I play pretty much every Metroidvania I can find and this one was in the top 5 for me. My only critique is that the ending feels a little rushed like they ran out of money or something but otherwise it was a good experience.

I thought it was pretty mediocre as Metroidvanias go. There are definitely much better ones.

Sounds mostly positive, guess I'll pull the trigger. Thanks for the help, y'all.

And yeah, I'm getting it on PS4; I remember all the Switch horror stories.

I hadn't enjoyed a new Metroidvania game in a long time, I thought I might be "over" the genre...

...but I actually super enjoyed Bloodstained! I love it.

The key to what made it so good, was how it kept adding fun light-hearted systems, as you progress through the game. As soon as you think "ok cool, this is all the systems, nice", they suddenly add yet another one.

It's also not very serious about its balance, which I really respect. I think part of the fun of single player video games is slightly breaking them.

Good as hell, except I hit a progress bug and stopped about 3/4s through (they fixed it, but I havent gone back yet).

Also Im super disappointed they canceled the roguelike random mode and still havent done co-op.

the roguelike aspect of that mode never really made sense for the type of game that it is, but the Randomizer mode they replaced it with makes way more sense

Great game. I'm of the opinion that Igavanias generally got better as they went along and this game definitely continued that trajectory. Some of the boss fights are just amazing.
