@UltimateOtaku91 Yeah, that's where I stand. I have about 10 Metroidvania games on my to-play list that cost $20 or less at full price, so why I should I pay $60 for this one?
@Maxz Hey, just be proud that you managed to beat it. It's a hard game and a lot of people didn't finish it. You got there in the end and you had fun while doing it. That's the important part.
@BloodNinja Darkwing Duck for sure. I adored that game as a kid and it's super fun to speedrun. I have a 12:54 which places me at 17th out of 72 runners, but I want to come back to bring that time down a bit. I have a profile on speedrun.com if you want to see what else I've run.
Although I should probably add that outside of platformers my skills vary quite a bit. Playing Devil May Cry 5 made me feel like I was an 80 year old grandma who didn't even know how to hold a controller upside right.
I'm in my mid 30's and my skills have only gotten better since I was a kid. I play plenty of hard games and I even hold a few speedrunning world records. I enjoy the challenge.
