@@mariofortisp I saw quite a lot of negative reviews because, for a time, you had to install a program to run the game or something. Also, difficult games can bring out negative reviews from frustrated players. But I agree. One of the best metroidvanias I've played. It feels great to play and is so rewarding.

There is a really good Metroidvania that came out late in the year I havent heard about anywhere else. Its called Worldless. You are a constellation person and the combat is sort of a live action turn based. Its gorgeous and very unique and it had some twists I didnt see coming just a couple hours in. Definitely a hidden gem

Roguelikes and metroidvania really don't mix, it's like water and oil... one is random in nature, the other is designed by hand, a combination is simply illogical. A shame how Dead Cells created this misconception. Well, by relegating these games, my only grips with this list are related to Lone Fungus, I think this game is at least top 3. And 9 Years of Shadow is just awful, the classic pretty looking game, but with no substance whatsoever

The Last faith was a disappointment. Very few options for weapons, combos and moves. The frame rate is terrible (causing you to freeze in middle jumps and die in holes). The enemies are very unbalanced (some kill you with two well-hit hits), making the game become about gaining levels to move forward.

Blasphemous 2 is just a sequel that didn't add anything new to its mechanics... While Laika gave some new takes on the genre. It's like TotK vs Baldur's Gate 3, where BG3 won the GotY 2023 cause TotK just felt like a DLC of Breath of the wild.
