I've been looking for a cool Pirate RPG. The closest thing was Black Flag. I've read that most of the attempts at a good pirate RPG have been terrible.
yeah, so what? This is still general discussion no? It doesn't have to be about what politician we hate or what KMC poster we are feuding with all the time does it?
Looks good from Lets Plays, maybe on the next sale.
If you like that you'll probably like Sundered.

So I'm hearing Dead Cells is the best Metroidvania from some circles.
And Guacamele is from others.
I don't know them any more then I know Hollow Knight, just from Lets Plays. What one to get, if I only want to get one?

Or I think Dead Cells is technically a "Rogue Lite", but is supposed to have Metoidvania like similarities.
A lot of Metroidvania's released in the last five years actually. Axiom Verge is a pretty good one, but I kind of don't like how the main character looks like a computer programmer. Essentially its taking the "Mary Sue" trope literally by inserting himself in the game.

They probably want to make sure they nail the landing since the wait has been so long. Don't wanna wind up like Duke Nukem Forever. lol
Bloodstained is fairly high-profile due to its lineage, but the price feels justified. It's definitely longer than Transformers, and they are releasing free dlc with a new playable character, Zangetsu in a few days. Another character to come later with more game modes too. I'm just happy at anything that gives a big "phuck you" to Konami tbh. They want to kill Castlevania? Cool. Igarashi gave us this other kickass thing.
A neat Kickstarter success story, unlike Mighty No. 9 lol.
That said, I understand if you still want something cheaper. Outside of a proper Metroid or Castlevania, Bloodstained is higher cost than most of this ilk. Any of the other suggestions are great too, if you can't catch it on sale.

I sound like a broken record, but I still think it's nearly impossible to go wrong here. Just pick which one look most appealing to you in the videos.
I'd say get them all. They're all great. Even the phone ones have solid titles, like Dandara. The more these games sell, the more these games get made. It's a win-win for fans. Weeeeeeeeeee!
I feel like only fighting games have had the same resurgence. Maybe CCG's?
Part of a niche genre called Metroidvania's, named after the formula Metroid and post-Classic Castlevania popularized.
They're not for everyone necessarily.

Did you have a 360? Play Shadow Complex? Because I just found out there's a remaster on Steam.
Also, no one's mentioned Ori and the Blind Forrest, that's said to be a real masterpiece of a Metroidvania. I only heard about it when hunting up reviews on Dust an Elysian Tail, which is more of a hybrid hack and slash with metroidvania elements. Might be too casual for some, but I love it.
But Ori looks like the real deal.

No "metroidvania" game has given me the satisfaction and enjoyment that Super Metroid did. It's still the gold standard. But some games have come close as of late.

Those 2 are on my to-play list.
