So many solid suggestions here already. I have a soft spot for the more retro styled games, and despite being short Gato Roboto is one of my favourites. It just feels so good to play.

Oh man, that’s big news. Lazer’s standard mode been essentially playable since like 2020. Recent updates have been chasing corner cases and adding features with no end in sight.

Ghost Song is one of my favorites that doesn’t look like its been mentioned yet.

Super Metroid will always be my favourite. I also enjoyed Axiom Verge and Bloodstained ROTN.

I generally like shorter Metroidvania like Iconoclasts and some of the Shantae series or even Yoku’s Island Express which has some backtracking.

The Metroidvania tag is a bit like Dubstep in music, a lot of those Dubstep tracks aren’t Dubstep but they can still be fun for some people.

mika_mika,

Metroidvania tag and roguelike tags have become so diluted as descriptors I have no idea what I’m getting anymore when I see them on an “indie title”.

r/place made me hate Osu! players.

fushuan,

Because they wanted to have their circle? It was small compared to other ugly things c’mon.

Linktank,

Because they were clearly using bots to do it.

It’s not as if someone made an LLM out of an Osu bot or anything.

colderr,

Well, there was a big fight between BTMC and xQc. It was a massive event (relatively speaking), so that’s why everything happened so quickly and immediately always. But I wouldn’t be surprised if some people used bots to help out, but I know that most were real people who just sat there and waited for another pixel.

fushuan,

They were a pretty active community, and the first to develop the browser extension that helped you colour each pixel correctly. Then everyone used it. Idk, they were heavily attacked from all fronts because weeb. I don’t think they were botting. There were plenty way more complex projects that finished way too fast for them not to be botted for you to hate the OSU! community that much.

LaLuzDelSol,

Was it though??

Sirence, do games w What is your favorite Metroidvania?

People calling search action games metroidvania is a big pet peeve of mine. No idea why it bothers me. Anyways hollow knight is my favorite, followed closely by silksong.

afaix, do games w What is your favorite Metroidvania?

Guacomelee should get more love, it’s a really stylish game and there is even coop if you want to play together with someone.

Ashtear, do gaming w Are there any good communities, Lemmy or otherwise, for gamers 30+?

It’s not explicitly 30+, but I think !retrogaming is one of the best active gaming communities on the Fediverse with a good mix of links and discussion, and the nature of the content certainly attracts older gamers.

The community is dead, most recent post more than a year ago, or is this a bug on my end? Or we defederated and I’m no aware?

Ashtear,

Could be? I know Beehaw is defederated from a lot but I haven’t kept up. The community is definitely active.

Lfrith,

There’s posts this month, so might be the case if on beehaw.

Sas,

Yee i think we’re defederated from world and from what i hear of that place it’s probably for the better

Bubblebath, do games w What is your favorite Metroidvania?

La mulana 1 and 2, animal well for puzzles.

Metroid dread, highly recommend for combat.

Dead cells and rouge legacy two for rouge lite bits

terraria for minecraft + metroidvania

time spinner, bloodsworn for more typical metroidvania

the old castlevania games are on steam, so there is that

almost metroidvania suggestion is Outer wilds. Progression based learning. just not in a 2d plane and no fighting.

Kiernian,

terraria for minecraft + metroidvania

This…shines a totally new light on a bunch of decisions that originally made me fairly upset and caused me to quit playing the game.

I played the game with nearly every free moment I had between the time I bought it in 2012 and the 1.2 release in October of 2013. Multiple worlds. Multiplayer sessions with players in several countries possibly requiring port forwarding and VPN tunnels if I remember correctly, and all of it stopped dead for me when I had to quit focusing on creating and exploring and was instead spending most of my time struggling to survive.

There were enemies before, and you could find one of the three bosses and just… Not go there, but 1.2 really made combat the forefront of the game and killed it for me entirely.

In the intervening 12 years. I’d be surprised if had more than a couple of hours into the game.

Viewing it through the lens of a metroidvania where you craft your own progression is not something I’d considered before.

I might actually go back to the game on the rare occasion I’m in the mood for something like that.

Thank you for the insight, while it probably sounds silly, it gives me some perspective into something that was so jarring it still causes me to panic when a game announces combat where combat was not previously the focus (I’m looking at you, Dyson Sphere Program 😄) and I really appreciate that.

@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

I’ve been a member of a 30+ gaming community for over 6 years now. There’s a lot of great people and you’ll find groups playing various games each night. We even have an active sim racing group that’s finishing up another race season on iRacing. It’s a discord community and if you’re interested, there’s a website you can apply. Over 30 Clan

SendMePhotos,

I think it’s a neat thing but I actually hate how you need to integrate with discord to be considered. Joining a discord is one thing but I am so anti mixing services and avoid it if possible.

Is there an alternative to be involved without linking my discord account?

Anissem,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

Unfortunately the community is entirely based around discord. They do a bit of screening to avoid people with lots of Steam bans, people under 30, or anyone who looks like they’d be toxic to the community. All applications are voted on by the community. It’s also a 501c non profit organization. I honestly haven’t had one negative experience with the community. I left all traditional forms of social media other than Lemmy and this discord community. Both have been fairly positive outlets in my life that I hope continue to grow and thrive.

cerebralhawks,

Just skimming their website, they sound awesome. But then I saw they focus on online gaming. That explains the rigid recruitment. I play single-player games. They don’t have anything for me. But it looks neat for those who play those games.

(I’m not the guy you’ve been talking to, I just happened in here, in case you see me in the message centre, wouldn’t want it to be confusing.)

moody,

I posted because I’m looking for adults to play games with. Most of the games I play are single player, but there are a few that are multiplayer that I’d like to play with other people, and most randoms you find in lobbies or in related Discords are children or just too young for me to personally relate to, so I don’t really want to play with them.

I started playing ARC Raiders recently , and I only have one friend to play with, so I’ve been mostly playing solo.

Anissem,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m just starting to get into Arc Raiders as well, lots of fun so far

moody,

I’m getting to the point where I’m not afraid of most robots, but I haven’t been part of any PVP yet that wasn’t just me dying before I knew who killed me. I want to explore the new map, but it’s heavily PVP-oriented, so going in with a full squad is going to be more interesting.

Anissem,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s a lot of fun with an entire group in Voice Chat. I normally shy away from PVP but so far this has felt great. It’s a nice mix of mainly PVE with occasional bursts of PVP

Anissem,
@Anissem@lemmy.ml avatar

There’s lot of people that play SP games and just chat about them on channels and even voice. Lots of MP though for sure

moody,

Looks promising

Just so it’s not forgotten to time I want to recommend AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake). It’s basically what if Metroid 2 was made in the Super Metroid engine.

I’d recommend any of the 2D Metroids, but if you’re going to play Metroid 2, that’s the version to play.

Aria of Sorrow

Katana314, do games w What is your favorite Metroidvania?

I don’t know if it’s “favorite”, but an old classic was Aquaria. It had a surprising amount of content, even to the point of several secret bosses, and an absolutely excellent soundtrack. Sadly, the main guy behind it is dead now. Ori was also fantastic.

sugar_in_your_tea, do games w What is your favorite Metroidvania?

Headlander was surprisingly fun. Probably not my favorite, but certainly up there.
