Metroidvania

Metroidvania is a subgenre of video games focused on guided non-linearity and utility-gated exploration. The term, popularized by video game critic Jeremy Parish, is a portmanteau of Metroid and Castlevania.

This is a cloned community from Reddit. I intend to hand over mod support to the original mods should they choose to migrate to Lemmy.

It's my favorite gaming genre by far. I'm currently finishing a run in Lone Fungus which has become a surprise hit for me.

What are you playing?

Note to Reddit /r/metroidvania mods:

I noticed there was no metroidvania community here yet so I decided to create one. If the original mods of that community want to join send me a message. I do not want to be a mod, I just wanted to see my favorite community on Lemmy.

It's not super active but eventually it will grow. Glad to see you here! I'm doing my fifth run of Hollow Knight right now.
