[–] chrisbrummel@infosec.pub 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I’ll give a pass to games in a series (i.e. “Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow”), but otherwise, tone it down “F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch”

I know it’s an issue not limited to Metroidvania, but geez - look at them all

The Lost Crown, Just realized that I missed a charm after I beat the game in c/metroidvanias@infosec.pub
[–] chrisbrummel@infosec.pub 1 points 1 month ago

The other type that I hate — a charm that is only available at the endgame that should appear sooner if it's to have any value to you playing. Case in point: a fast-travel charm in Blast Brigade that is only available as one of the very last acts. Great game, otherwise.
