They still haven't made a better game in the genre
>>739042030Ok unc, nobody playing ts fr fr ong
Blasphemous 2
Hollow. Knight. Silk. Song. Boom.
Nearly every Metroidmania since has been an improvement because enemies and bosses aren't complete jokes like in SotN.
>>739042030Dawn of Sorrow on DS is betterThis shit is overrated, people got impressed by the fact you can just grind things and make it an easy game. It's alright, it's not addictive once youve played a lot of them.
I like Metroid better
I like OoE
>>739042030bro? hollow knight?
>>739042030The last innovation in vidya was souls and that is like 20 years ago. People can't innovate for their life depends on it. Pretty lame ngl.
I really like Portrait of Ruin, but only because of Charlotte's gameplay being a lot of fun since I like gameplay with cast times.
>>739042030Mogged by the handheld Castlevanias, especially by Aria of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin
>>739042030Og Hollow Knight is a bit betterThe Inverted Castle is massively overrated
>>7390420306/10.
>>739044267>Inverted Castle is massively overratedGood idea to prolong the adventure for cheap. Personally I dislike it. AFAIK it was rushed.
>>739042030all ds castlevanias are better
>>739042030The GBA games are better however the GBA is toaster hardware while the SOTN was a game with high production values being developed for home console.SOTN mogs them in terms of visuals and sound
>>739042030Just beat it last week. There's a lot of content, especially a crazy wealth of secrets, but as a game it's not that great.For one, the level design fucking sucks even before you have to redo the whole game (but on the empty ceiling this time). The gate / key system for its abilities might as well not exist for all the use you get out of it, encounter design is D tier (absurd given how great Rondo's was right before), and the over-reliance on obtuse motion inputs slows down combat and makes magic tedious.Perhaps worst of all the balance is absolutely all over the fucking map. For two thirds of the game you will be one-shoting every enemy and taking 1 damage. You will be wombo-comboed and repeatedly knocked back to emerge having taken 16 damage. Likewise, you will end up killing bosses before you get to see their entire moveset. Then, you'll enter a room and get half your life blasted by a single attack by a new enemy. Who designed this piece of shit?I will say it looks and sounds very nice, and has a lot of interesting moments in the story at least. Every single DS Castlevania and Aria on GBA is better though, in almost every regard. It was an inventive and risk-taking prototype for better things to come.
