Jan. 2025

"Ato" is a great 2D pixelated metroidvania-action-platformer with stellar atmosphere, boss-oriented gameplay and tight combat. You play an eastern feline warrior in his quest to protect his family, slashing and dashing your way through a masked cult of fighters, soaking in the beautiful and somber worldbuilding on the way. Movement is on point (although I did not like the sprint mechanic), the fast paced fights are rewarding. Alas, it is more on the shorter side (which is totally fine) and there is some backtracking; the map progression is classic, if you know the genre. Plus bonus unlockable difficulty for the veterans out there. Definetly give this a try, it really stands out from the usual metroidvanias by its presentation and the finale is spot-on! Definetly deserves a broader audience!

There's underrated, and then there's this gem. Had such a blast I beat it in one sitting. Definitely on the shorter side for MVs but it's so much fun. I honestly did not expect much at all going in, but this jumped up to one of my favorite MVs.

Absolutely gorgeous Metroidvania. It's quite sui generis with essentially it all being bosses and platforming challenges as opposed to any of the more regular rooms you might expect. After the intro portion things open up massively with there being quite a bit of entirely optional content, so much there's more than a few things you might end up doing "out of order". There's a nice narrative going on, though don't expect any deep lore dive: there's no diegetic text and while there is decoration the entire "why" is up for interpretation. After a bit of casual exploration I managed to grab almost everything (there's one pick up that eludes me but I am guessing some very basic canvasing will reveal it to me). Anyways, final minor nipicks: * There's tons of hidden passages which get kind of evened out by your map telling you all of a room's exits, but it doesn't feel as natural as in other games. * One optional "late" game powerup makes some invisible things visible, which make a few jumps seem almost reachable at first until you realise you just didn't have the right equipment. * The damage balancing seems quite uneven, with some bosses or particularly some attacks seemingly eating through your health out of nowhere. And while most attacks are well calculated to be counterable with some particular strategy, a few did end up feeling somewhat random (though this might be on me for hyperfocusing). * Your character speed starts a bit slow for the size of the map. Fortunately you do end up getting a run technique (which has no stamina).

Beutiful hidden gem of a game has a very fun combat system that flows well, amazing art style and world building with satisfying movement and abilities. overall great game that scratches the Hollow knight itch.

Feb. 2024

Hidden gem mertoidvania. Really fun and satisfying combat system. Great variety in boss fights. Highly recommend for the combat and boss quality. Not overly long either
