I have got 5 out of the 10 endings in Afterimage, so I'm going to have a break as I have put in over 70+ hours into it and got to level 80. Obviously I love the game, one of my favourite Metroidvania's.
Moved onto Ender Lillies, absolutely loving this as well, another great MV.
Still plodding along with Totk with the family which is always good.
Just finished my first playthrough of Detroit Become Human, awesome game, can't wait to go through it again to open up different outcomes.
Please Nintendo, what a load of rubbish. While you're there ignoring F Zero, Waverace and 1080 I'm going to sit here and ignore your excuse. I would buy a remake of F Zero X, Waverace or 1080 in a heartbeat.
You're talking about releasing a game on one of the most popular consoles ever yet you can't see it making money?
Finished Haak, great Metroidvania.
Over halfway through the massive and excellent Aeterna Noctis, this game is unforgiving but so addictive.
Started the beautiful Afterimage, such a great game, loving the backlog I've got at the moment.
I'd prefer games specifically made with the Switch in mind from the start instead of a mainline game reduced to fit. CoD Big Red One or something along those lines would be better imo. That's just me.
Just about finished playing Haak, an excellent Metroidvania game that I recommend.
Still plugging away at the massive and awesome Aeterna Noctis. Totk is still moving along nicely.
If I finish Haak I might start either Ender Lillies, Phoenotopia Awakening or Salt and Sanctuary.
@Dm9982 Yeah, I grabbed the LRG CE. It's in my backlog. I also recently bought After Image and finished Astronite which is a great little MV. My backlog is primarily MV games, love them
@Dm9982 Yeah definitely. Like I said, it is a shame that they happen but thankfully the games is so good that it makes them bearable. We shouldn't have to and it's a real shame that they exist at all but persevere amd push through because it really is one of the better ones out there.
@Dm9982 Yeah, I still had a few crashes but no where near as bad as it originally did thankfully. Still annoying as the game is so good, shame but I got to the end and overall, even with the crashes I encountered it was still worth it. One of the best ones I've played.
I have the double pack pre-ordered as even though this site gave it a bad score I never really take reviews into account until I play the game myself
2 games for the price of one on the one cart isn't exactly terrible either.
I love MV games and recently finished Souldiers (excellent game), and I am over halfway through Aeterna Noctis (excellent game even though NL didn't rate it very highly btw) and also halfway through the excellent Haak.
Still looking forward to playing this for myself.
About 60% of the way through Aeterna Noctis, loving it.
Also started Haak, another great Metroidvania, excellent so far.
Still playing Totk in between as well.
Good time to be a gamer and a Metroidvania fan, I have so many to play that my backlog is a Metroidvania.
So much backtracking and choices that I get lost 😁
I'm currently playing Aeterna Noctis and just finished Souldiers now those games are hard. I play Totk for a more relaxing pace, it isn't a hard game compared to others I'm currently playing.
I'll bite once it is on sale. I love Metroidvania games and I've recently just finished the excellent Astronite and started the equally brilliant Aeterna Noctis. Keep them coming.
I really enjoyed both.
Still playing this in between Totk and Souldiers.
Glad I got the Gold Edition for all the extra goodies.
Can't wait for the new stuff.
Totk or Torture of the Koroks 😁
In between making stupid stuff and exploring new ways of destroying things I'm also playing Souldiers, which is an awesome Metroidvania.
Have a great weekend everyone.
I recently picked up a box of 48 brand new still sealed Topps Nintendo Game Packs scratch off cards and stickers that were released in 1989!
My younger self just high fived my now older current self.
I give Totk a solid 473 angry ducks stuck in an elevator or 83 happy giraffes joyriding in a convertible which, as anyone will tell you, is high praise indeed.
Just finished Super Daryl Deluxe on Switch, a great Metroidvania, highly recommended.
Just started Out Buddies DX also on Switch and bout to start Detroit Become Human on my PS4.
Got this on my wishlist. I thought getting lost and finding your way was the whole point of a Metroidvania, you know, exploring, backtracking, leveling up etc is the norm isn't it? I see that's positive not a negative.
@theModestMouse No, definitely not. They release more rubbish than this in physical form so why can't I hope they release a game I'm actually interested in.
@Dm9982
Yeah, it must be something like that.
It was on sale too as I had it on my wishlist and was going to buy it but then realised it was gone.
Tried doing a search for it because I thought I was losing it but sadly it came back with no results.
Strange.

@Friendly
Have you tried Afterimage?
I've put in over 70 hours into it and love it.
The art is amazing.
Recommended if you haven't.
Re: 'Ginsha' Combines Lovely Pixel Art Visuals With Slick Action-RPG Gameplay
OMG Guys, I have been waiting for a Metroidvania with pixel art because that is my jam 😁
I enjoy them more than most anything else.
Physical copy to go alongside all the others in my collection please.

Playing Afterimage, this game is art in motion.
Great game so far.
Also playing Totk, moving along at a snails pace, the way it should be.
Finished Battle Princess Madelyn, enjoyed it.
Hope you all have a great weekend.

Re: Review: Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope: The Last Spark Hunter - Fun But Safe DLC Lacks Spark
I got the Gold Edition for cheap so more content for free is fine by me.
Especially when the base game is so good anyway.

Re: Soapbox: Modern Zelda Bosses Are Getting Harder, But They're Nothing Compared To The Oldies

Re: Blasphemous II's Blesses Us With August Release Date

Love this game.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Update Now Live (Version 1.1.2), Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I've used the duplication glitch for diamonds and zonaite but that's it.
I'll duplicate a lot more then update, it's been a handy little glitch I gotta admit.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Roguelikes, Roguelites And Run-Based Games
Skul The Hero Slayer
This should definitely be on the list but NL doesn't even acknowledge it exists.
Great game in the same mould as Dead Cells, it even has The Prisoner as a playable character!
Re: Haiku The Robot's Final Content Update Adds New Area, Bosses And More Later This Month
Awesome.
I've held off for the physical copy which the developer has just announced.
Looking forward to playing another Metroidvania, I can't get enough of them.
My Switch is my go to Metroidvania Machine, so many great titles.
Re: Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope 'The Last Spark Hunter' DLC Teased

Re: Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope Wins Award For Best Original Video Game Score At The Ivors
Great game, still playing it in between Totk.
The music is excellent so I am glad it got recognised.
I hope this franchise keeps going, one of the best collaborations they've done in a long while.
Re: Zelda Switch OLED Launch Boosts Nintendo Hardware Sales In April (US)
I helped, I bought the new Zelda OLED model.
On a side note, after watching countless videos of Koroks being endlessly abused I'm going to rename Totk to

Tik Totk obviously, loving it so far, along with Greak on Switch and some Detroit Become Human on PS4.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Is Now The "Highest Rated Game Of All Time" On OpenCritic

I see that's positive not a negative.
Grabbing this regardless.
Re: Community: Have You Played A Great Switch Game We Missed? Let Us Know About It
I've already sent you guys a few last time so I'm not going to send it again as you still haven't reviewed it.
Skul: The Hero Slayer
A great Dead Cells game that even has the Beheaded from Dead Cells in it as a playable character!
Seriously good game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 15th)
Super Daryl Deluxe on Switch, thoroughly enjoying it.
Just about finished my second playthrough of Last of Us after enjoying the show.
Also downloaded My Friend Pedro and Outbuddies DX on Switch to start next.
Re: 'Mangavania' Looks To Blend Metroidvania Mechanics With Downwell Aesthetics

They release more rubbish than this in physical form so why can't I hope they release a game I'm actually interested in.
Re: 'Mangavania' Looks To Blend Metroidvania Mechanics With Downwell Aesthetics
More Metroidvania games?
Yes please!
This reminds me of Astronite, hope it gets a physical as well.
Switch is my favourite Metroidvania machine, I mainly play these and not a lot else, I love how many excellent ones there are on Switch.
Keep them coming.
