PaseoBaggage➤Metroidvania time! I've heard this is a fairly short game, but a good one
➤Controls feel good and you have a good amount of reach on your attacks. Solid backdash to boot.
➤There's some elevators for getting around, but even with skipping the cutscene they are long
➤The health feels very low. There's a mechanic for regaining your health when you run out, so it seems to be more about finding a window to recover your health if you take too much damage. You heal by hugging a floating sentient teddy bear, so that's neat.
➤You do heal by striking enemies normally.
➤You can shoot the bear out to strike things, but it costs health. There was a few times my health ran out and I couldn't shoot.
➤Bosses have been on the easier side so far. I've noticed very rigid attack patterns. They still took me a few tries.
➤I've got the Zeus and Poseidon armor and the mermaid transformation.
➤Things are moving at a good pace. Upgraded my health a couple of times and I might have enough to upgrade an armor.
Rakuno 🐀It took me way more tries than I'd like to admit and almost made me think about quitting the game but I was able to beat the boss in the Shadow of Hope.
That third phase was just a bit too hard for my terrible reaction times. 
Now I am back to exploring the map and having a good time! 🎵
I decided to start playing 9 Years of Shadows.
It is a pretty good metroidvania with some excellent soundtrack and art style.
But I am so bad at it!
Oh, well. I am making progress even if I am having to die a lot in certain places before I figure out how to beat a boss or where I should go.

⚡🍉OverlordTomala🍉⚡I sat down and beat 9 Years of Shadows last night! The final boss battle is all kinds of brutal, but after grinding my teeth and the boss for what felt like an eternity I can say that I did it!

Steam Community :: ⚡🍉OverlordTomala🍉⚡ :: Review for 9 Years of Shadows
9 Years of Shadows is a metroidvania style game where you play as a young woman named Europa who braves a castle to attempt to restore the color of the world after a 9 year curse that brought endless darkness. Find different magical armors and abillities along the way and befriend a Teddy Bear that you can hug to heal yourself... and throw projectiles to murder the hell out of your enemies! This is best played with a controller.
Starting to see the end of my journey. It's been a fun one.
