PC Metroidvanias for your brainias

See ya’!

I’m very obviously failing in my duty to cover The Best Genre of Games. I’m stepping aside from my tumblr/site work. I will continue to maintain https://twitter.com/metroidvanias.

My domain, metroidvanias.com, has purposely been re-directed to https://metroidvaniareview.com/. They’re doing great research and review work and definitely deserve your eyes.

I’d also recommend subscribing to the Metroidvanias channel (not mine) on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Metroidvanias. They’re constantly adding to a list of MV trailers. EZPZ method to get the latest MV trailers in your feed.

I hope to return to the scene some day, but I’ve got to go back to square one on my web design stuff before I can put together a site that works for me. In the meantime, thanks for your views and support over the past years.

BLASPHEMOUS

Sounds like it’s going to be hitting really soon. Amazing trailer.

Metroid Prime 4 Update

Starting over from scratch. :( Now being worked on by Retro Studios :D

“In the distant rings of the planet Alphios, rookie mechanic Samantha Krain takes her first careful steps into the field as an official member of a crew of misfit space salvagers. When a huge salvage mission turns up on the surface of the planet, however, the race is on as opportunity calls to be the first one to reach a trove of technology. Is it fortune smiling upon the intrepid explorers, or is treachery leering from the shadows…?”

We are pleased to announce the first entry in our new series, Lysium: Stardiver

All updates, news, frequently asked questions, etc. will be posted here. Feel free to get in touch!

CrossCode - Released!

Forgot to post about this one because I was too busy enjoying the heck out of this game!

It has the trappings of MMO gameplay, as the game takes place within an MMO, but after a few hours it adds so many tweaks and different implementations of basic systems and moves that it makes your head spin. 

A bit Zelda, a bit MMO-y, a bit Phantasy Star (Critical Damage name drop), a bit Terranigma (O V E R L O A D - D A M A G E name drop). Big thumbs up!
