===================== [b]My Metroidvania Tier List (PC)[/b] [i] (excluding Metroid & Castlevania titles)[/i] ===================== [i]-Not an objective list, purely how much I enjoyed…I am playing this on Steam Deck, which runs without a problem but many of the menus require mouse input.You can feel the mood in the pixel graphics, which is both magnificent and gruesome.A mix of action and adventure with just enough metroidvania elements to keep you moving forward.Why it fits
Check it if you want action, horror filtered by dark, tense, metroidvania.
