Bio
Just keeping track of and writing thoughts on games I play. I have no specific criteria for rating.

I don't shy away from high ratings. I belive that too harsh a rating can scare people off from a lot of unique yet flawed experiences.

Aight, I'll just say it:
This game > Metroid Dread.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is THE shinning example of AAA metroidvania.

It's never challenging, but it's pretty cathartic once you start upgrading your copy abilities. Wreaking levels is fun and looking for Waddledees is pretty relaxing. Even the bosses, while easy, are still pretty cool because they have varied movesets and super dynamic camera angles.

It's a quality title, but it barely manages to stand out from any game that emulates the Classicvania style. The bosses and level design are good, and the graphics are appealing, but there's a distinct lack of any kind of twist or surprise that could have given it an identity of its own.
Lords of Exile is also extremely short, with only 8 short stages. I was honestly expecting a 'Wily Castle'-esque sequence of stages after the 8th stage, but the game just sorta ends anticlimactically.
