Minoria

I got Minoria because someone on Reddit said that this was a 'slept on Metroidvania'. Although I now disagree with that statement, it's still a relatively fun short Metroidvania that was relatively simple to 100% complete. I'm going to use it to get my family further into Metroidvanias with the goal of getting them to complete the Hollow Knight games.

Overall, it's fun, a bit of a slow start, but once you get all the movement abilities you feel more free. It is funny to find out that cat pouncing everywhere is the fastest way to move.... It's worth the price when it's on sale, so grab it on discount if you can.

Don your nun outfit for a day and slay some witches! 6.5/10

Solid game, good challenge, no auto-saves so watch your ass.

I think is the most basic metroidvania I played in my life. Is short, lineal and there's not much to explore or discover which is kinda the point of metroidvanias.
The combat is also very simple. All weapons types works the same way, most enemies works the same way too. The only challenge is that pretty much everything destroys half of the health bar in one hit so you kinda have to learn how to deal with them, but you can also roll no stop and be inmortal so is not that hard either.
The story is functional I guess, is not bad but is not interesting either.
While I enjoyed the game despite all of these, is not something I would recommend without a discount.

Very much a "decent" game. Combat's fun and the art and atmosphere are good. It often teeters on mediocrity, but with its short runtime it doesn't overstay its welcome and finishes as a worthwhile experience.

fun short little metroidvania you get around 4-5 hours if you decide to go for 100% by how the game is designed i would say it would take you another 2-4 hours

This was an enthralling, quick play that hits you in the feels more than you'd expect. It also exceeded any expectations I had. I liked the world, the lore, the characters, and the simple beauty of the whole package. Challenging but not super hard and it's a relatively easy game to 100% if that's what you want to go for, but then again, it's not so easy that it doesn't feel rewarding.

Always wanted to play this game since i beated RUTM for the third time on my xbox, after i saw the artstyle and the parry mechanic, i prayed for a low price to get the chance, i am so happy to not only beated the game, but have so much fun to the point of doing a NG+ after i got the first ending
The first playthrough was a Nightmare, i was using the same strategy i used on RUTM to kill the boss without getting hit, by taking damage till almost die, then use the item to dmg myself and another buff, spam magic and boom, and it was carthatic, while i was agonizing in pain like a masoquist after getting pwned by the boss, and then redoing the same tatic, i was giving Semilla hell by letting her be a punch bag
And countless time i was doing the same loop, it was my kind of fun... Until i discovered that i was losing dmg cause ice is broken.
And then, in the second run was a breeze, but also i little more quick, as i was already friend with the map, i just mash button mindless to dodge and kill, a zen state, a teraphy after the hell of dying for Frikka poison
And what was left, was to LV Up to 99
Sometimes i felt bad for being so happy to kill the witchs... But nonetheless i liked the story, and i hope we can see someday, even if a tiny mention, of Saint Alice and Saint Friori, or that the witches and the church are on good terms
