Super Daryl Deluxe
3.5 out of 5. It’s so incredibly stupid that it circles around to being purely entertaining. You have to be the type that enjoys its brand of humor, but if you are then you’re in for a good time.
Outbuddies
3 out of 5. Local Co-op. An Exploration focused Metroid-like with some fascinating co-op features. Sequence breaking is a strong feature and it is especially fun to break the game with a friend.
8 Eyes
2 out of 5. Not a Metroidvania. This forgotten classic-vania hits Steam, sharing its unique two-player gameplay and riddle antics with the modern generation. Recommended for game design students.
Sundered
4 out of 5. Local Co-op. Has some absolutely amazing moments that are padded out with grindier features, but the excellent multiplayer let’s you fill in those slower parts with social conversation.
A Robot Named FIGHT!
4 out of 5. Local Co-op. The Most “Metroidvania” of the Rogue-vanias. Has a slower pace and slightly awkward controls taken from Super Metroid. An excellent infinite loop of Mini-Metroidvania goodness
Timespinner
3 out of 5. Local Co-op. Gorgeous visuals and music, and tight controls. Level design doesn’t live up to the standard set by its Castlevania Inspirations. Its unique ideas could be fleshed out more.
Guacamelee! 2
5 out of 5 – Local Co-op. Surpasses the original in every way, and the original was great. Enjoy challenging combat, exciting brawling, and a remarkably heartbreaking story – and do it with a friend.
Guacamelee! Gold Edition
4 out of 5. Local Co-op. Very fun brawler style combat – especially with friends – and some difficult wall-jumping, dimension shifting, and skill manipulating platforming to enjoy. Deserves its praise
