Metroidvanias are already off to an amazing start in 2024, with two certified bangers dropping this week
And we still hꦕavꦚe several exciting ones incoming this year

Metroidvania heads are eating good in 2024 with two certified bang🐷ers releasing back to back this week - and w♏e're still only in January.
What are those bangers? Ubisoft's Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has been in the limelight for a while at this point thanks to news of its 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:technical prowess on all consoles, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:innovative map feature that every game should take note of, and an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:excellent demo that co📖nvinced many this was the refresh the series needed.
Gamesradar's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Prince of Persia: The Lost C﷽rown review said it was "filled with intrigue, neat brain-teasing puzzles, masterful platforming, and spectacle-fueled boss batt꧒les." Many others have compared it to other genre heavyweights lik𓆉e the soaring Ori games or the studio's own Rayman Legends, making me even more excited to jump into the time-twisting adventure when it releases on January 15.
The other early Metroidvania hit is the recently released Momodara: Moonlit Farewell, the first game in the long-running series in eight whole years. The almost-painful waits seem to have been worth it, though, based on the "Very Po🌳sitive" user reviews on Steam.
Many players had glowing praise for the sequel's crisp movement and screen-filling combat, as well as what you'd expect from the genre: exploration that has you detangling an intricate map and big, big boss battles. Momodora: Moonlit Farewell currently enjoys a 10% introductory offer on , should you want a pixel twist in this month's Metroidvania fix.🐈
What's most exciting is that the rest of the year is also absolutely stacked with promising genre highlights. February pushes out the spectacularly colorful Ultros, which looks like an action-platformer took some magic mushrooms. April sees publisher EA Originals enter the ring with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Tales of Kenzera: ZAU, a game heavily inspired by B👍antu mythology.
And then, of course, we have the one and only 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hollow Knight: Silksong which is still slated for release later this year. I’m gathering all my copium to generate some news soon, don’tꦫ worry.
