Constance

Lavish presentation

Convergence: A League of Legends Story

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A fast 2D action platformer with Metroidvania structure where you play Ekko, racing through the undercity of Zaun and using time manipulation in combat and traversal. Its hand-painted look and time-bending mechanics set it apart.

Nine Sols

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A hand-drawn 2D Metroidvania set in a Taoist-flavored sci-fi world, with combat built almost entirely around precise deflecting and counterattacks. Revenge, mythology and stylish boss fights drive the journey.

I Hate this Place

Lots to discover

An isometric survival horror game with bold comic art and an 80s horror vibe, where you scavenge, craft and use stealth and noise management against monsters that hunt by sound.

Control

Lots to discover

As Jesse Faden you explore the shifting headquarters of a secret paranormal agency, fighting an otherworldly invasion with telekinesis and a shape-shifting service weapon. Spectacular destructible combat meets a surreal, bureaucratic New Weird mystery.

Minoria

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

Minoria is a dark Metroidvania from the Momodora developers where a nun fights witches and monsters using parries, dodges and spells. Hand-painted backdrops and precise, reflex-driven combat define it.

Well Dweller

Lots to discover

A dark fairy-tale metroidvania where you play a tiny bird with a matchstick, crossing a wretched kingdom to burn the wicked queen. Expect quirky characters, exploration and platforming action. The game is new and little known to me, so this rating relies mostly on the description.
