andylt 08/11/21 4:04:56 PM #9:	I really liked Axiom Verge but it had clear parts where it could be improved. I hope they go more into the glitchy stuff, that's where I found the game at its most unique. I also think the game was overall a little too married to the old NES style aesthetic and way of showing plot, glad the new one looks like it's progressed from that. And a couple of the puzzles were just too esoteric for me. Basically I'm hoping AV2 is like Super Metroid to AV1's original Metroid.

Mac Arrowny 08/11/21 4:14:27 PM #10:	Axiom Verge 2 looks good, but focusing on melee combat instead of guns is sad IMO.

Mac Arrowny 08/11/21 4:53:27 PM #13:	Hmm, there are some that have both (like Rabi Ribi) and others with close-ranged projectiles (like Ori 1), but focusing on projectiles Metroid-style feels rare to me. Touhou Luna Nights and Shadow Complex are the only big one I can think of. Melee games: Ori 2 Hollow Knight Ender Lilies Dust Guacamelee Bloodstained Momodora Reverie etc. I think Melee is quite a bit more common, though I could be wrong. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. <cite>Mac Arrowny posted [p:956993033] in Best part ...

andylt 08/11/21 6:42:19 PM #15:	I haven't thought about it before but I think I like the idea of long-range combat in Metroidvanias more in general.

StartTheMachine 08/11/21 7:05:21 PM #17:	Also, I'm legitimately tempted to buy Tetris Effect Connected on Switch despite having it on Game Pass. I never beat the final boss in the co-op mode, and that mode is so damn cool. But it could be pretty hard to find people on the Xbox in that mode :( That is another perfect video game. E: From what I'm seeing, Tetris Effect apparently does have crossplay, but it's only in Friend matches for now and not with randos? Huh. Sounds like they're still working on it though, so there's hope. --- - Blur - Welcome to your Divinity. <cite>StartTheMachine posted [p:956996633] in Best part ...
