I've been playing a bunch of Rusted Moss lately. It's a Twin Stick Shooter Metroidvania, which is appreciably different from the Hack and Slash type I normally play. Getting used to mouse-and-keyboarding a platform heavy game took a bit. And boy are there platforms.

While elements of Metroidvanias are there, this game leans way further into the platforming. I would say it's closer to Celeste than Hollow Knight. Imagine Celeste, but instead of a magic dash and climbing gear Madeline had a gun and a chatty grappling hook.

Anyways, I've been enjoying the heck outta this game and wanted to share. While you're here I will accept any and all Metroidvania recommendations. Except for Cookie Cutter probably.

Sweet, thanks! I loved the heck outta Blasphemous and the Ori games. I'd love to see another game in the Ori universe, it's so pretty. Some of the others have been on my wish list for a bit. Might be time to crack one open.

Another not bad series is Guacamelee. I haven't played the second one yet, but I really enjoyed the humor and gameplay of the first.

The second Guacamelee is more of the first. Nothing wrong with that, but my partner and I played them back to back, and I just couldn't do it. I'm gonna play it eventually, I love the series, but I should have taken a break between them
