It's worth noting there's quite a lot of post-launch Kickstarter stretch goals that aren't in the game yet. I'd fully expect to make several runs through the game as the new content gets patched in.

took me 13 hours with 99.8%

I mean... I don't think so. If you're a completetionist (spelling) Then you are going to want not just 100% Map but you are going to want to access the 120% Map Achievemnet that I am sure is hidden in the files. . . And the 100% Shard Achievement.. And all the rest of the achievements for the secret bosses and such... 12 Hours? You're fooling with a player who doesn't care for all the extra content and 100%ing the game.

Seems a bit short considering the price tag, especially when compared to Hollow Knight (which took me around 26 hours at 90+%).

There's a bunch of extra modes coming including Boss Rush and a Rouge-lite dungeon. 12-13 hours is like the minimum. Seems fine to me.

It seems like I hit a "bad ending" at about 9 hours, 43% complete? Was able to kill a big bad and got booted from the castle. Very confused. Hit a game over screen and unlocked boss rush at that point. Map completion was so incredibly low I sincerely doubted this could possibly be the end.

Apparently I was going for low-key low%? Surprise to me!

People often refer to that as a "Bad Ending" due to the history Castlevania has with endings like that, but a better way of thinking about it is that its a roadblock halfway through the game. Don't treat it as an ending, there's a lot more of the main story left to see that you'll want to complete.

It is? There are games that are only 3 hours longer that cost full price, and most games don't even have half the bonus content that Bloodstained is getting.

Like, there is no way you got all the stuff and drops, and crafting, and even just the shard upgrades?

100% is 100% game, not map, hah..

The fact that are other poorly priced games doesn't make this one's price instantly good, the game is overpriced.
