PH1BE5#Konami announcing a new #Castlevania last night, featuring a Netflix inspired art design, and offspring of Trevor and Sypha as the protagonist was a welcome surprise. Motion Twin (Dead Cells) advising is also another great sign.
With that and Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement coming out, 2026 is shaping up to be a great year for #Metroidvanias.

I just completed this. It’s fun. I like how they handle movement mechanics and circumvent some expectations around them. Spoilers about movement: ::: spoiler spoiler Wall jumping is default, and you get a grapple/whip right away. There is no double jump in the game tho, despite some platforms really look like double jump challenges. ::: The story was ok. Some bits go unanswered, and some of the conflict doesn’t make sense. All around pretty decent game tho.
