Mystik Belle
3 out of 5. A charming and fun entry point into the Metroidvania and 90s Adventure game hybrid that will provide a few hours of Halloween Festive entertainment while not being too frustrating.
Dreaming Sarah
3 out of 5. More of an Art Museum than a Metroidvania, every individual is going to take something different from it. You may get nothing more than a pleasant experience, or it could be much deeper.
External Visions
2.5 out of 5. Some parts feel unfair, but the lesser design is counteracted by some interesting puzzle design, satisfying accomplishments, and interesting story concepts. Plus it’s free.
Wuppo
4 out of 5. Primarily an adventure game, Wuppo’s greatest strength is in its immersive world and its hilariously presented characters. Exploration is about escapism rather an imposed goal.
Visual Out
3 out of 5. A weird exploration focused Metroidvania where you use abstract mechanics to progress. If you’re looking for something unusual, its moody atmosphere and narrative mystery can be intriguing
La-Mulana 2
4.5 out of 5. I suggest playing the first one first, but for those who have already done that and want more La-Mulana, this is really the only way to get it, and NIGORO delivers well.
Ghostly Matter
2.5 out of 5. A love letter to 90s Adventure Games and PC Platformers that captures the entire experience of that era, including design features that have since been forgotten. A fun mystery to solve.
La-Mulana
5 out of 5. Not a game for everyone, but perhaps the best puzzle-based Metroidvania in the genre. Cryptic clues and dangerous tombs captures the feel of an Indiana Jones-style archeology adventure.
