I loooove Bloodstained, really hard to choose between that and SotN, as my favorite metroidvania. There's such a long list of super fun aspects of Bloodstained. The combat's fundamentally really good, and all the abilities you find are really fun and fairly well balanced, you can really figure out your own playstyle. And then they added so many ridiculous systems that work well, I loved the hairstyle and color customizations, and how gear shows up on your character, and picking out books to activate in the library, and building up particular stats by cooking, and even the quests were a nice addition, unlike the DS Castlevanias, where they kinda just get in your way. It's just crazy how much they packed into that game.

...But you have to admit, it's pretty ugly, and the music doesn't quite reach SotN tier. And I tried pretty hard to like the story but ehhhh it was pretty nonsense.

Separately: that Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, the retro-style action game, oooooooh baby that is a masterpiece, might be even better than Rondo.
