  • Little Nemo and the Guardians of Slumberland, a metroidvania based on the comics of Winsor McCay, is out now on PC (Switch release soon)

    Jump

  • A Communal History of Metroidvania Video Games — Lost In Cult

    Jump

  • Absolutely. Thanks for the feedback. No idea if I’m posting into a void

  • Tombwater, a horror-western metroidvania, is out now on PC

    Jump

  • The devs label it as a metroidvania, and a lot of reviews mention it as a Zelda-like, but people who’ve played it say it straddles an already thin line between the genres.

  • GRIME II, the followup to the popular Lovecraftian metroidvania, is out now on PC, Playstation, and Xbox to positive reviews

    Jump

  • Same with me on Grime 1.

    In my opinion, avoid “MÍO: Memories in Orbit” if you’re not a fan of platforming. I had to avoid some pretty big areas of that game for how seriously hard some of the platforming challenges were.

  • The first Grime was 2021, so 3 years prior to PoP. But playing both, they play very differently and didn’t feel visually similar. I can see what you’re saying in the lighting and shaders.

    There are demos for both Grime games, so it could be a good way to get a feel for them

    Barbarian Saga: The Beastmaster, a medieval fantasy metroidvania where you summon the powers of animals, is announced for a fall '26 release on all major platforms

  • 25th Ave near U Village, 2011 vs. 2025

    Jump

  • And most of it was within a year or two. All happened at the same time around 2020. Real fast

  • Kloa - Child of the Forest, an action adventure metroidvania inspired by Studio Ghibli, is announced to be released on all major platforms

    Jump

  • Because it’s not a side-scroller?

    LOP: Whitefall, a 2D destruction-based action metroidvania, is announced for future release on PC

  • [Highlight] Naz Reid shows off the handles on back-to-back possessions to get two tough buckets for the Timberwolves.

    Jump

  • Thanks for posting an MP4! I’d love to see more NBA highlights as MP4s and WEBM files as they auto play on Lenny

  • GRIME II, the followup to the popular Lovecraftian metroidvania, has announced a March 31 release date for PC.

    Jump

  • Same. I respected it, but didn’t get past something like the 4th boss and never came back. But people love that game

    SELINI, a metroidvania inspired by LIMBO and Inside made over the last 10 years by a solo dev, is out on "Early Access" on Steam

  • Mamdani's Official Swearing In Will Be At Abandoned Original City Hall Subway Station

    Jump

  • They 100% should play Jackie Wilson’s “Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher” at the event as a nod.

  • I'm sure you already know, but it's out — Hollow Knight: Silksong, a metroidvania about gross bugs, is out on all major platforms (I guess Playstation is coming…)

    Jump

  • I really liked that Nine Sols had an difficulty slider. It was much harder for me than Hollow Knight, but I could adjust the slider instead of banging my head against the wall. I sometimes can enjoy the satisfaction of completing something tough, but I have limited time to play games and it’s getting trickier with a young child.

  • Hollow Knight: Silksong, a metroidvania that some people might be excited about, is announced for a September 4th 2025 release date on all major platforms.

    Jump

  • 😏 just a little…

    I have a 15-month-old, so I’m going to hire a full time au-pair so I can play this game.

  • Bolt & Whalington, a unique metroidvania with a "meta" mechanic that rewrites the game, is announced for PC with an unknown release window

    Jump

  • That’s my description. The mechanic is something I haven’t heard of before. It may be gimmicky, but we’ll see…

  • Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement, the sequel to the Castlevania-inspired metroidvania hit, is announced for PS5 with co-op in 2026

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Supraworld, a First-Person-Puzzle-Metroidvania sequel to Supraland, is announced for PC

    Jump

  • 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

    Jump

  • 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

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Metal band Voivod announced a Kickstarter for their upcoming run-n-gun metroidvania, Voivod: The Nuclear Warrior

    Jump

  • Fixed. Thanks!
