Oops, all indie games! Games in order (top to bottom, left to right): Silksong, Crowsworn, Nine Sols, and Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus
I hesitate to name this the year of the metroidvania because I can’t confirm that Nine Sols will be one. The other 3 are inspired by Hollow Knight (all according to their official site/kickstarter profiles) while Silksong is obviously the sequel. Nine Sols is the only one I got to play the demo of and the combat is interesting and challenging while the artstyle is chefkiss. Crowsworn and Bo has promise with a HK speedrunner saying praise on Crowsworn’s demo (only for kickstarter backers rn apparently) and Bo having hired one or some folks who worked on Ori WotW and given that Bo will have more platforming, I say they hired the right people and I’m excited.
That is if they actually release this year hahah. Even if half of them get released this year, I’d be happy. Nine Sols has a Q1 2024 release and I am begging on my knees Silksong doesnt delay for another year but we clowning for now.
There’s Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown to sink my teeth into to feed my metroidvania hunger right now and it’s pretty great actually.
