I just played Tails of Iron though, and the penultimate boss was making me rip my hair out so maybe no Souls-Likes would be my only caveat. --- Balenciaga hoodies and Gucci shoes #FreeMelly ...

Well to go over the non-Soulsy recommendations from earlier in the topic I'll second: Guacamelee(and its sequel), both Ori's, Bloodstained RotN, The Messenger, and Axiom Verge. The Guacamelee games I actually played co-op with someone who isn't great with platformers, and he nearly ragequit at one point near the end. It very much feels like a beat em up in a Metroidvania when you play it like that, and they throw mandatory non-boss fights at you pretty often. I thought the second game was way better, especially in its gameplay as a chicken(Morph Ball-equivalent). The humor may be a hit or miss for some, and the second game has a bunch of random references to stuff like Limbo, JRPGs, Metroid, etc. Both of the Ori games are very platform-heavy and have probably the best plot out of anything itt if you care about that. The soundtracks were also great, and although I would never call either of them bad games I felt they were overrated. The second game has way better combat imo, and I thought three of the bosses were pretty fun in that entry even though I'm still kinda eh on the whole game. Still worth playing at some point imo. Bloodstained RotN probably feels closest to Castlevania SotN for obvious reasons. I'm not much a fan of RPG mechanics in my Metroidvania's and this one isn't as good as SotN for me, but I thought it was still pretty good. It has a lot of replayability with its different characters and the built-in randomizer if you're into that. It can also be pretty grindy if you wanna bother getting every achievement, but it won't take like a crazy amount of time or anything. --- https://abload.de/img/aonp7v.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!

electricbugs2 posted... I've had this one told to me before but I've always been put off by the art style. Not sure why. Is it really that good?One of my personal favorite games of all time. It's admittedly a kinda weird one to rec purely for Metroidvania reasons though; pretty linear game as far as Metroidvanias go, with a lot of beat-em-up elements to it, but also a lot of fun platforming. Not too hard or long a game, although the second changes that. Usually can be found on pretty hefty sales too; if you go for it, get Super Turbo Championship Edition. --- Arizona Diamondbacks: 30-23 UNICLR: Phonon | GBVS: Zeta ... Copied to Clipboard!

Without spoiling too much The Messenger is a linear platformer that turns into a Metroidvania. Some people only liked/wanted the first half of the game but I thought the changes in the middle were brilliant. It has harder platforming than most of the titles itt but I didn't think it was too bad. The Metroidvania section is pretty easy for navigating through if you want to buy the hints from the shopkeeper, or don't if you wanna figure everything out for yourself. There's a bunch of platforming as you move through the map though which is tiring to some. Axiom Verge is one of the most not-Metroid Metroids I've ever played. Exploration wise I think this is one of my favorite Metroidvania's. The weapons get pretty busted which makes combat later kind of a joke(on my first attempt I literally stood still during the last boss and kept mashing to victory). The grappling hook feels like jank for a modern game which bothers the shit out of some people. Super Metroid is my favorite of the genre namesakes so Axiom Verge feels pretty great for me. I also liked its sequel but it's really not like the first game which made it a disappointment to some. As for my own recommendation I feel the need to recommend Aeterna Noctis a bunch. I played it day 1 and 100%'d it blind that same month and loved it. It immediately shot up to my 2nd favorite game in the genre and I loved how huge the map felt, the bosses, the platforming, and one area in particular that's my favorite area in a Metroidvania. It has Souls mechanics though and I thought it was harder than every game itt. They did patch in an easy mode that removes a lot of platforming challenges, but I never tried it. For the Souls recommendations itt I'll second Blasphemous and Salt & Sanctuary. Ender Lilies doesn't have Souls mechanics but I think the boss difficulty seems to get to some people so I'll just mention it here. Grime and Death's Gambit: Afterlife are also Soulslike Metroidvania's that I enjoy, but I recommend Grime more. --- https://abload.de/img/aonp7v.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!

electricbugs2 posted... Anyone know anything about Afterimage? It's on sale right now so it's somewhat tempting.Apparently the map is huge for a Metroidvania(bigger than Aeterna Noctis), and probably one of the longer titles in the genre. I already bought it but I haven't gotten a chance to try it since I'm currently in JRPG hell. I tried the Afterimage demo on one of those Steam Next Fests or whatever and I didn't think much of it at the time, but I did enjoy it enough to stick it on my wishlist. Kircheis posted...

Pretty neat concept imo.Oh this completely slipped my mind and I even got every achievement in it too. It's got nice replayability with its roster, randomizer, Brave mode, and now its new Relics of Chaos mode which I haven't tried. --- https://abload.de/img/aonp7v.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's extremely relaxing just swimming around the open waters and shit. Most of the hazards are only in the "dungeon" areas. It's also got fantastic music. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!
