They are works of high art.

It’s a little old and more Metroid- than -vania: A Robot Named Fight

EDIT: since no one else mentioned it, Timespinner is kinda good too, despite being a somewhat short game

New school: Hollow Knight and Silksong

Old school: Super Metroid

@CileTheSane@lemmy.ca avatar

Hollow Knight didn’t really do it for me so I haven’t tried Silksong yet (I hated not having a map for each area until I purchased one).

I may have to try putting an emulator on my Steam Deck and seeing if Super Metroid holds up.

Phelpssan,
@Phelpssan@lemmy.world avatar

If you didn’t like Hollow Knight you probably won’t like Silksong either.

The game is good, and incredibly polished, but feels aimed at the people who 100% the first game and wanted more.

CileTheSane,
@CileTheSane@lemmy.ca avatar

Good to know. I did play Hollow Knight for a while but drifted off of it, it is not something that I personally would want to 100%

fartsparkles,

I’d say the second one was even harder too.

datavoid,

Super Metroid definitely holds up

I may have to try putting an emulator on my Steam Deck

I always tought it was standard for pc players to have at least 1 emulator installed, usually Retroarch or Emulation Station.

But since you are willing to give them a shot, try Metroid Fusion too, I admit it’s heavily on rails, but it feels fun and the movement is improved over Super Metroid.

There is a patch to make Super Metroid behave somewhat like MF, but I think playing it vanilla first is fun on it’s own.

dukemirage,

when oldschool is actually more accessible than newschool

kratoz29,

More accessible? Please explain.

As in easier?

dukemirage,

Yes. At least I didn’t hit any roadblocks like in Hollowknight where a lot of patience and concentration was required to beat certain bosses and not lose your sanity on the ridiculously long ways to the arena.

The only one I’ve played is Dead Cells, and it’s fantastic. I haven’t even bought any of the DLC, the base game is already endlessly replayable. I also listen to the soundtrack at least once a week.

I definitely want to get around to playing Hollow Knight and Animal Well at some point.

anguo,

Not sure I’d categorize Dead Cells as a metroidvania myself. More of a rogue lite.

tuckerm,
@tuckerm@feddit.online avatar

I’ve always thought it was both. I’m definitely no expert on Metroidvanias, since I’ve only played the one (if Dead Cells counts as one). I actually thought the term “Metroidvania” was about the movement and combat – today I just learned that it’s about the exploration and finding things. You do at least have to do that in the bank level, if I remember right. And the castle level.

CileTheSane,
@CileTheSane@lemmy.ca avatar

There are also areas you can’t access until you have beaten a specific boss which gives you exploration abilities for future runs (ground pound, grow vines)

anguo,

It does have metroidvania aspects, for sure. But if its the only “metroidvania game” you’ve played, then you haven’t really played any metroidvania games, in my opinion.

Whoa there, unpopular opinions belong in a different community you absolutely incorrect person.

Grass,

I dunno man, the flip flopping on the weird cortana fixation got old fast

sleep_deprived,

That was 4 and beyond, really. Cortana isn’t even in 3 except little snippets until you grab her from High Charity in the second to last level.

Grass,

It must have been me hoping that cortana would reprise her role in 3… aside from odst and seemingly reach, the only thing I remember is how much of a slog the cortana hallucinations or whatever that was and the didact part being somehow even less enjoyable

Harvey656,
@Harvey656@lemmy.world avatar

Wasn’t that 4 and 5?

sleep_deprived,

Whoa, 3 and ODST absolutely rule, and Reach is great if you aren’t a purist. Especially Reach’s forge mode, that shit was the bee’s knees back in the day

Grass,

I wasn’t inlcuding odst, and was reach the one that opens in a helicopter with the invisible elite on the ground? Those get a pass. None of the numbered releases after 2 did it for me though

Xttweaponttx,

Perfectly said. God Reach’s multiplayer holds up well

BirdObserver,

Man, I haven’t imported many games but that game and its sequel were some of the best gaming purchases I ever made.

Really tried to get into Osu (even looked into some of those digital drawing boards artists use, just to try to make it feel like the original) but to me the game just isn’t anywhere near the same without a stylus and a resistive touch screen - two things which are outdated tech now - so I don’t think I’ll ever get something that really recaptures it. I’m glad that the basic gameplay is still being kept alive though, even though what I really want I can never have.

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

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.

Cybersteel,
@Cybersteel@lemmy.world avatar

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??

zod000, do games w What is your favorite Metroidvania?

A bunch of good ones have already been mentioned (SOTN, Nine Sols, Super Metroid), so I’ll just mention some that were missed.

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (sequel to SOTN, just as good if you can get past the DS touchscreen BS. The new remaster might get rid of it)

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (made by Iga, creator of Castlevania: SOTN, Dawn of Sorrow, and others)

Salt and Sanctuary

The Messenger

Phelpssan,
@Phelpssan@lemmy.world avatar

I love the more “linear” first half of The Messenger, but didn’t enjoy the “metroidvania” second half nearly as much.

Still a great game though.

zod000,

I leaned the other way, but both were good.

jasoman,

Rope dart and story was great

kratoz29,

if you can get past the DS touchscreen BS.

I always cry internally when somebody doesn’t like the DS and 3DS gimmicks :(

Thanks to you guys we all will only have Steam Deck clones as handhelds from now on! /s

To be honest I think most of the people that don’t like the touch gimmicks are emulating… But I have heard people with stock hardware complaining too :/

zod000,

The DS is quite literally the only system that I ever sold going as far back as the Atari 2600. I hate, hate , hate how they forced the touch screen gimmicks for it in games that it didn’t belong. It was the only blemish on an otherwise outstanding game in Dawn of Sorrow. It ruined all of the Zelda games made directly for the system IMO.

criss_cross,

ROTN is one of my favorites. I can’t wait for the sequel.

I also love that it has built in randomizer support.

zod000,

Yeah, the continued support and extra modes made me so happy to be an early supporter. I also like the more original NES style games of the series and I am very excited for the sequel.

tgirlschierke, do games w What is your favorite Metroidvania?

Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth is a fantastic experience.

ICCrawler,

Wut.

Looked this up. Can’t believe Record of Lodoss War got a game in 2021. I remember watching the 1990 anime on Toonami’s online-only list of anime at the time, along with Harlock Saga. Both old school AF.

YiddishMcSquidish,

I remember playing the Dreamcast Diablo style game my college roommate had!

tgirlschierke,

Funnily enough, I had the opposite experience. Was shocking to me to find out that the lore wasn’t originally from Wonder Labyrinth.

Phelpssan,
@Phelpssan@lemmy.world avatar

All three metroidvania games from that developer are great. The other two are Touhou Luna Nights and Blade Chimera.

Zahille7, do gaming w We don't have to make it complicated

I mean yeah, but if any one of those options is going to come out on PC, I’d still be glad.

Though I understand why you’d want the original too.

pasdechance, do games w What is your favorite Metroidvania?
@pasdechance@jlai.lu avatar

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”.
