My TIER LIST with all the MV i played so far (2024)

This list contains all the MV i played so far. Maybe it helps someone so here it goes.

-Blasphemous

Control is a bit clunky and the metroidvania component is not too well defined. I can not put it at the height of the best.

-The Last Faith

It doesn't stand out, one of the many 2D Souls-like-pixelart clones that have come out in recent years.

-Carrion

Fantastic recreation of “the thing” with its physics and movements. As an idea a 10, as a game, somewhat bland and repetitive.

-Unepic

Funny, one of a kind and goofy but very unfair on too many occasions.

-Owlboy

Its fantastic pixel art does not support the rest of the mediocre sections.

-Yoku Island Express

Although as a game I recognize its quality and originality, pinball is not something I'm in love with...

-Souldiers

The one that could have been and wasn't... I'm very sad that such a fun game was weighed down by such bad design and balance decisions.

-Moonscars

It doesn't stand out among the other souls-like 2D pixelart. Visually beautiful though.

-Ghost Song

Design decisions do not allow it to score higher. The progress of the character is not well thought out. Overall good game.

-Environmental Station Alpha

Pixels as big as its playable quality. Great boss design. Nothing negative to highlight.

-Astalon: Tears of the Earth

3 playable characters interchangeable on the fly is its main differentiating asset.

-Minishoot Adventures

Bullet Hell mixed with Zelda and Metroidvania. It sounds like a weird mix but the reality is that it's a very good game.

-Hyper Light Drifter

I played it a long time ago but I have very good memories of it in its exploration and progression.

-Supraland

One of the few pure quality 1st person metroidvanias on the market. Smart and original, highly recommended to play something different.

-Axiom Verge

It's a modern classic... I think it's very good overall although its hard and rough exploration that made me get stuck too much makes me hold it in not so high esteem.

-Infernax

I think it's a fun game but a bit rough and difficult in its classic difficulty. It left me with a bittersweet taste because of this, I recommend the normal difficulty.

-FIST Forged In Shadow Torch

Combat Hack'n slash based on combos, quite unique in the genre. Graphically well above average. I quite enjoyed it from start to finish.

-Blast Brigade vs. the Evil Legion of Dr. Cread

The shooting mechanics are some of the best I've seen in the genre. Very fun to play.

-GRIME

Very original in its art and playability offers very interesting things. One of the best souls-like games I've played.

-Rebel Transmute

It loses a bit of steam in the final part but it is still a fantastic game.

-Astronite

A fun game, hard to disappoint. Short and direct.

-Haiku the Robot

Short and simple, with a fantastic control and a not too convoluted exploration for the genre. A good gateway to metroidvania.

-Gato Roboto

With a Gameboy game aroma and quite original gameplay mechanics I hold it in high esteem.

-Turbo Kid

Based on the 2015 movie of the same name. It falls very little short of being a great game because of a somewhat flawed combat.

-Control

Gameplay, graphics, physics, destruction absolutely top. Story too weird and document-dependent as the only negative.

-Nine Sols

It could enter in Very Good, even in Masterpiece, for its refined control, its visceral combat based on parrys... but it is left at the gates by its sometimes excessive difficulty, its horrible mapping system and the tremendous text sheets that spoil the experience unnecessarily.

-Prince of Persia The Lost Crown

For me the best game of 2024. Very fun and varied, it does everything well. Maybe with time and a replay I'll rate it higher but I have it too fresh.

-Blasphemous 2

Improves by far to the original installment. A very inspired game and a very very good exponent of the genre. Difficulty peak too high in the final part compared to the rest of the game as the only negative point.

-Ori and the Blind Forest

Audiovisually superlative. I would put it in the Olympus but for the second part that leaves it in evidence in some aspects.

-The Messenger

Wow, The Messenger... What a special game! Aesthetically and mechanically a game of great quality.

-SteamWorld Dig 2

Top visual and playable quality. A great game, direct and of a perfect duration. Wonderful.

-Bloodstained Ritual of the Night

Very RPG oriented with hundreds of weapons and items. Very good.

-Crypt Custodian

Hilarious, inspired in all its sections, exciting... if you have had a cat, prepare your tissues. What a wonderful game.

-Hollow Knight

The king of kings of the genre, unsurpassed to this day. Perfect in everything.

-Ori and the Will of the Wisps

Like the first one, a real audiovisual spectacle but unlike other games, the gameplay is at the same level. It improves in everything to the original.

-Rogue Legacy 2

In love with this game. Wonderful gameplay, fun roguelite component and overflowing content. A 10 game.

-Metroid Dread

Spectacular metroidvania. Not much to say... is exceptional.
