Good metroidvania: Lots of secrets to uncover, the game is very open (you can explore most of the map very early by (ab)using weapon skills) and rewards exploration, and a moody atmosphere. I played through it twice, and can recommend it to any fan of the genre. Personally I like it much better than other games in the same niche, e.g. Blasphemous, or Salt and Sacrifice.

This game is not talked about enough, it is Bloodborne meets Castlevania. The combat is fun, the platforming can be iffy but I attribute that to me pc being sub potato. I relish the day I get to play this with max settings and I have yet to encounter a soundtrack or area I didn't like.

So, this was an immensely enjoyable game and I actually don't know what one could possibly criticise. Maybe, just for the sake of it, let's say it would have been nice to have some kind of annotation system for the map, because it's easy to forget where the POIs are that are inaccessible until later. Also one could argue some spells are utterly broken, but well, who cares... Beside that the game has: - an engaging mysterious and dark story - C&C (including missable quests/items, which is a positive imho) - great visuals and music - lots of collectable items - lots of secret areas to hide those in - worthwhile exploration - fluid and responsive combat supporting various playstyles Overall, while 'side-scroller souls-like' might seem weird at first, this has been a great experience and shows a good game with great gameplay and story does really not require AAA+ Open World GPU-fest overkill at all.

What a fantastic metroidvania. The story is quite interesting if you are paying attention to the item descriptions. Combat is quite fun with a fair bit of build variety. (Sword parry and dagger dodge attacks are busted though) I had an absolute blast playing it.

Aug. 2024

I liked Vigil as a metroidvania with some Souls-like combat mechanics. But I loved it because of the art style, the atmosphere of the world and the exploration. I felt transported back in time to the dark fir-studded skyline of the original Castlevania games. There are a good number of large interconnected areas, including towns, forests, catacombs, mountains, mines, swamp, etc. The NPCs you meet along the way have only a few lines of dialogue, but they contribute to making the map feel like a real cohesive country. It's certainly not the Witcher 3 but it made me feel a tiny bit like that. The combat relies on dodging, blocking and parrying, with stamina management. However, the stamina is so generous and replenishes so fast that I rarely paid attention to it. There are 4 different weapon types with their own skill tree, plus magic spells, though I only used swords in combat and never found it necessary to switch to a different fighting style. Combat felt satisfying but not challenging most of the time. I beat the majority of the bosses on the first or second try, except a couple of the optional late-game bosses. Still they were all very fun to fight and had memorable designs. Movements and animation felt fluid and responsive, which is important for a metroidvania. But the number of traversal skills you unlock are not very numerous or original. There's a double-jump, and a slide to pass through narrow spaces. A mid-air dash I got very late in the game. Still there are many secrets to discover and collectibles to find such as special weapons, outfits and decorations for your home. Overall a surprisingly satisfying experience at a very good price.
