I think that he’s just being sarcastic here. BTW, just finished POP The Last Crown on 16th Feb, I was just blown away by it, it was definitely a good metroidvania as well as a game. Animation following a parry were my favourite thing to do, especially that one with Kind Darius’ move, and 2nd to that, Azdaha’s. Elements of Parkour(the heart of the franchise), were also there, Simurgh’s powers added variations in parkour n combos, it was fun to revisit the places with new abilities. I think it was a good revival of the franchise, plot was predictable at some points but the execution was great. I even got chills at some moments,(spoiler) *especially Sargon’s encounter with the Simurgh n him realising that he can save Vahram.* The ending (Alkara’s reveal) made me have mixed feelings, made me respect the old man more. Absolutely loved the game. It’s a nice revival to the franchise n I hope Ubisoft uses its AAA budget effectively to deliver even better PoP games in the future .
Nice list. Just an FYI regarding Moonscars, the whole moon hunger thing was scaled way back in a patch, it's nowhere near as punishing or difficult as it was.
love the list I played hollow knight, blasphemous 1&2, prince of Persia lost crown, carrion, The last faith and dead cells from this list and I love all of them.
Record Of Lodoss War: Deedlit In Wonder Labyrinth, Wonder Boy: Dragons Trap, Strider, The Last Faith, Monster Boy And The Cursed Kingdom should all be among in the Top 10! Prince Of Persia should be 5th Dead Cells should be 4th, Ender Lilies 3rd, Blood Stained: Ritual Of The Night 2nd & Aeterna Noctis should be NUMBER ONE. You forgot to include Touhou Luna Nights!
Good list I will definitely check titles I haven't tried but I have one question, why do people considered Dead Cells a Metroid-vania genre coz it's not prove me worng. For those who love this kind of game try Steam world dig and Guacamele if you haven't already.
17:11 castlevania sotn falls under the sub genre known as metroidvania? bruh, this game is THE origin of vania in metroidvania, anyways keep the videos coming!
This is your own opinion but your 2nd and 1st in the list is not because of your opinion you just followed what the webs and magazines thinks what is the number 1 metroidvania not a bad list but MEH you are just a ship who follows others!
This list is subjective, putting castlevania first on 2024 is a joke, it is the game that started these genre back in 1997 but today is outdated both visually and mechanically. Plus not including ori games at all. Not a good list in my opinion 👎
