    The metroidvania genre has been exploding this year.

      Griffnix not really in numbers but in popularity and quality. Last year Hollow knight came out and got 9s and 10s from everyone. This year almost every metroidvania released has gotten outstanding scores. It seems like every game in the genre is a masterpiece.

      no need this is the story : In a small village in Mexico, Juan Aguacate is a humble agave farmer who is on his way to meet his childhood friend and love interest, El Presidente's Daughter when an evil charro skeleton named Carlos Calaca attacks the village and kidnaps El Presidente's Daughter, Juan is killed by Carlos during his attempt to stop him and winds up in the land of the dead. There, a mysterious luchador named Tostada gives Juan a mysterious mask that transforms him into a powerful luchador and brings him back to the world of the living. The game then follows Juan's battle to rescue his beloved to stop Calaca's plan to sacrifice her in a ritual to unite the worlds of living and dead to rule both.
      While he confronts X'tabay, the first of Calaca's lieutenants, he ends up transformed into a rooster and brought back to human form by another rooster with mysterious powers. After defeating X'tabay, she reforms, revealing that Calaca was once a great rodeo man who broke his arm just before an important competition, and sold his soul to the Devil to have it healed time enough for the competition, but just after winning, the Devil enacts his payment and drags him to hell, but with X'tabay's help he deceived the Devil by having him transformed into the same rooster who helped Juan, and wants him to defeat Calaca in order to restore his power.
      After confronting the rest of Calaca's forces, Juan pursues him up to the altar where the ceremony is being held and destroys him, but does not arrive in time to save El Presidente's Daughter. In the normal ending, Juan returns to his village and lives his life in peace until reuniting with El Presidente's Daughter in the afterlife. In the true ending, attained after completing certain feats in the game, El Presidente's Daughter is revived by the power of Juan's mask and the two return to the village where they get married.

    This so reminds me of Shanoa from Castlevania. That game with Shanoa (Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia) was easily one of the best games of all time. It's when Konami was at its best.

    • @radicalstanza3614
      @radicalstanza3614 Před 4 lety

      It arguably sneaks in as a top 5 Castlevania game. Very arguably. So it's definitely not easily one of the best games ever. Another Castlevania game near that level of quality would be very worth buying even today, though.

    I had an absolute blast with this and I think a 9.3 is spot on. If you have any love for the original, trust me, this is even better. It's a superb sequel, and one that understands what made the original so popular in the first place, expanding on it's strengths in new and interesting ways. Highly recommended, get on it!
    Oh, and, erm, I'm gonna just leave my review here because... Well I'm aware that the concept of self promotion is required in order to get myself out there but, hoo boy does it make me feel uncomfortable doing so - czcams.com/video/doKx5sa-5Sk/video.html

      During my first hour, I was surprised by how it felt, and it looked like I was playing a Flash game. After the first hour, I ended up loving the game. I didn't think I'd ever be into a 2D game, but I couldn't stop myself. I should revisit it, since I'm close to getting a platinum.

    I'm gutted that this is currently only on PlayStation :( Hopefully it comes to Xbox soon.

    Indie scene is killing it right now and they play best on switch. Gameplay > all these shitty story 'interactive movie' games we have had for years.

      These games are pure gamplay without all the bullshit. If you want to see games with a lot of bullshit (crappy storys) with lackluster shallow gameplay look at most of the PS4's library. Indie scene has basically saved gaming from the horrid direction it was headed.
