Platform: Nintendo Switch Genre: OG Search Action Game It's been a decade since we've seen a proper follow-up for the 2D Metroid action-adventure games. Sure, we got Metroid: Other M, but that just felt like a slap to the face for fans of bounty hunter Samus Aran and her power suit and morph ball legacy. With Metroid Dread, developer Mercury...
Dark fantasy Metroidvania title Blasphemous impressed many with its gruesome art style and combat, so it's great that its developer Game Kitchen is going out with a bang with the title.

Platform: PC Genre: 2D Puzzle Platformer with 3 different protagonists If there's one thing missing in a 2D indie platformer, it's the ability to control three different heroes all at once.

Platform: PC Genre: Metroidvania action-adventure with a tinge of Dark Souls Just when you thought games couldn't get any more creative and weird at the same time, along comes an oddity like Grime.

Earlier this month, it was revealed by 505 Games that its parent company Digital Bros will have a "second version" of Bloodstained "in development" on its quarterly financial report.

Platform: Xbox One/Series, PS4/PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch Genre: 2D Action Game With Tron's Plotline The best kinds of stories do not have to be original written works. Otherwise, nothing will get done. Narita Boy's "stranger in a strange-yet-familiar land" isekai tale is a familiar story if you've seen films like Tron, even right up to the digit...
Narita Boy is now out for most major consoles and for the PC. While its art style and music are great, it has this habit of letting you get lost and not giving you a clear direction, much like last year's other Metroidvania title Carrion. It's all the more frustrating especially if you're just here for the game's engrossing story. Fortunatel...
Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonderland Labyrinth will be scratching that proverbial Metroidvania 2D action game itch later this month.

With Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom and Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap out and remastered for current-gen platforms, it's only a matter of time until the fourth action-adventure instalment Monster World IV gets the same treatment.

Last year's Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a nice ode to Metroidvania titles, though not a game that revolutionizes the genre. Still, we had fun with it. And now we get to replay it again with this new update. The game will be getting a randomizer mode that tweaks a handful of aspects of the main game. Working as a replacement to the cancell...
This guide is still under development... Ori and the Will of the Wisp (or Ori 2) is a marvel to look at in action. And it's a joy to control and play according to our resident 2D Metroidvania guy Mr Toffee. However, the kid's gloves come off after the two-hour mark once you get your Bash skill. Fortunately, we have some tips and tricks to sort yo...
Platform: Xbox One, PC Genre: Whimsical 2D Platformer That Will Make A Man Out Of You And so, we've come to the end of a console generation, and with it a slew of tryhards aiming to be the capstone before the new toys come in. Even at the end of the Xbox One's rather lukewarm cycle, the console still manages to churn out a few gems here and the...
