This game is beautiful and very well done. I'm not sure how today's gamers will take it as its fairly unforgiving which I know you can expect in games like Dark Souls but it doesn't look like a game that will challenge you. I was kind of on autopilot and made it to the first boss and it smacked me. There are some mechanics that are also a little challenging. It reminds me of Super Metroid in how everything is laid out and the overall progression is designed. It not unnecessarily hard but there are moments you have to pay attention. I've enjoyed a lot of nods to previous games as well.

If you're fan of the series, I think its a must play. If you like games from the SNES era, it's a must play. I wouldn't put it up there with Symphony of the Night but I think its a very good entry to the series.

It has been awhile since I've felt both rage inducing frustration at jumping puzzles and joy with the combat in a single game. I'm about 10 hours into it, I will finish it and probably get the plat, but Jesus Christ. Probably a one and done.

Getting mixed reviews...

Click to expand...
Deadcells CV skin 2.0 from what I saw + when I played demo. Ended up just getting an emu and redownloading SOTN and played it instead.

I wouldn't even say its dead cells. It plays somehow worse. Its a ok castlevania game and I'm having a good enough time for 30 bucks that it was, but its missing something in the combat; it feels sluggish to play. WAY WAY WAY too many fucking jumping puzzles as well.

Yeah…that is what I felt from the demo, but a few here and one person IRL said it was good and worth a shot… I also skipped Metroid dread and prime 4 and ravenous looks like a skip.

I guess I am just… old… I am enjoying the grind of MnM and playing “only wrong answers” in /ooc chat.

People wanting sotn should look forward to the new bloodstained. That's looking to be a masterpiece metroidvania from the previews so far.

I tried the demo, it was fine until I died at the boss and didnt feel like running back. Dont think it was far but I felt it was far and just stopped playing. Wasnt good enough to keep trying.

There is a setting to respawn at the boss arena.

You can also tweak damage taken and damage dealt settings if you feel it is too brutal.
