Happy to participate in a post. I’m also wanting to do a “Best of '24” in a few months.

1. Hollow Knight
2. Ori 1
3. Ori 2
4. Prince of Persia: Lost Crown
5. Super Metroid
6. Nine Sols
7. Animal Well
8. BioGun
9. HAAK
10. Guacamele 2

4 & 6-8 are from just this year, so it’s been a good year for me.

Agreed. I’m working on the Prince of Persia DLC, and then switching to the new Zelda…

I have not. I see it getting decent reviews (80-85%-ish). Between this and other high profile releases, I think it’ll be in my backlog

For those interested, !metroidvanias@infosec.pub

If you have a PC or Steam Deck, they have a demo you can try out

Congrats!!🎉

Then you should definitely avoid the Deviator, which was caught even reusing assets from HK

I yield my support to whomever can do sick-ass layups

Lemme finish!!!

…next year, and then I’ll wait another 3 years

It was fantastic and I look forward to it next year!

Congrats to her and Raygun’s new found fame. I loved watching the whole thing and look forward to watching the men’s competition tomorrow.

I’ll give a pass to games in a series (i.e. “Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow”), but otherwise, tone it down “F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch”

I know it’s an issue not limited to Metroidvania, but geez - look at them all

I never played Outer Wilds, but Tunic, Fez, Animal Well, the Witness, etc. are some of my absolute favorites. I’m with you…

The other type that I hate — a charm that is only available at the endgame that should appear sooner if it’s to have any value to you playing. Case in point: a fast-travel charm in Blast Brigade that is only available as one of the very last acts. Great game, otherwise.
