Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement, the sequel to the Castlevania-inspired metroidvania hit, is announced for PS5 with co-op in 2026 in c/metroidvanias@infosec.pub
[–] chrisbrummel@infosec.pub 2 points 1 month ago

It seems like it, but isn’t crystal clear. The Steam listing has “online co-op” listed, but Artplay doesn’t talk about it in their press. I’ve seen other places highlight it, but they could be mistaken.

Thanks! How are you viewing it when you use Lemmy? In a browser? Voyager? Curious as I don’t think playback is consistent across platforms.

The Last Vanguard, a toon-styled metroidvania, announces it's coming out of Steam Early Access and will release on PC on May 15 in c/metroidvanias@infosec.pub
[–] chrisbrummel@infosec.pub 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The Early Access reviews are “mostly positive”, so here’s to hoping they iron out the kinks. I like the style, but will be cautiously optimistic until I see the final reviews.

Twilight Monk, an RPG metroidvania is out today on PC and Switch with pretty good reviews in c/metroidvanias@infosec.pub
[–] chrisbrummel@infosec.pub 4 points 3 months ago

Last year felt like the best year for releases, and this year has a ton of bangers already and may end up beating 2024.

There are some great releases on the horizon. I’m about to post about the new Metroid and the dystopian Pac-Man metroidvania.

Good times.

After you play a bit, I’d love to hear what you think

New York Times Interactive Feature — Why We Love to Get Lost in Games: The Enduring Appeal of Metroidvanias in c/metroidvanias@infosec.pub
[–] chrisbrummel@infosec.pub 5 points 4 months ago

I was surprised by the focus on Ultros, but not Animal Well. That game is already one of the genre’s hallmarks. I liked Ultros, but know it’s not for everyone. Animal Well isn’t as traditional an entry, but a smash hit.

Momodora: Moonlit Farewell, the popular 5th entry in the metroidvania series, is releasing on consoles on Feb. 6th in c/metroidvanias@infosec.pub

Out of curiosity, if someone posts a YouTube link and you auto play the video, what gets shared with YouTube?

I’d love Apollo-level inline video playing.

Keep up the great work!

Oirbo, an action-platformer metroidvania, is coming out of Steam Early Access and releasing on PC on Feb. 10. in c/metroidvanias@infosec.pub
[–] chrisbrummel@infosec.pub 1 points 5 months ago

Yeah, I’ll definitely wait to see the reviews, but the early access feedback is positive, but not glowing. I did see some reviews mention that it didn’t really add much to the genre, but was still fun.
