Should i buy the game?

[cheemsburg]

I would really like to buy this game. However, I already have bought and played it on Nintendo switch and it was my second favorite video game of all time. Should i buy this game? is it worth it? (i am on mac btw)

If it’s your second favorite game……why haven’t you bought it yet?!?!? It’s one hundred percent worth it. It will probably go on sale soon though so maybe hold off unless you don’t mind spending full price.

ok but also how does the modding for this game work? is it like terraria and it is steam workshop or is it seperate websites

I haven’t dived into modding, but I thinks it’s separate. I would make another discussion on that one.

Also the reason I have not bought it yet is because I already have it on the switch and play it on there

It’s definitely a superior experience here. I can understand not wanting to buy a game twice, but you’ll definitely won’t regret it.

As a Mac owner/gamer myself (cannot wait returning to Windows), it runs great on Mac! No lags, great controls -- just my impression so far :) Struggle with contact damage (when you are below an enemy and the enemy jumps onto you, for example), but maybe that's an all-device struggle and part of the game's difficulty.

ok thx

well in that case you could just wait for a sale to get it here, steam autumn sale should be in the end of November.

Thank you very much, I wasn't sure when a sale could happen and this really help

Seems more Veinya than metroid-like, yet neither at the same time. That Metroidvania is a horrible word to label games with. It's just a 2-D side-scroller that's a lot of fun.

I feel the "Vania" more refers to a combat-heavy style with little platforming, like SOTN. HK has much more than the vania titles.

>That Metroidvania is a horrible word to label games with

It was never meant to be a genre label...it was just a quirky name that some journalist came up with when SOTN came out. If anything the "vania' part is giving too much credit to Castlevania...SOTN borrowed from Metroid as much as all the rest of these titles. I just call them all "Metroid-clones."

> It's just a 2-D side-scroller that's a lot of fun.

I'd go with a side-scrolling action/platformer. But the Metroid title is just to describe the sprawling maze-like map.

I do not mean to be mean but what does this have to do with the discussion? I don't even think the word metroidvania was mentioned in the discussion.
