'Pronty’ was a pretty good game. (And one that I needed, after going through so many mediocre ones in a row.)

It really nailed the atmosphere and worldbuilding. (Even without a full soundtrack. [i]Which I would have loved to have.[/i]) It had a decent enough story & conclusion. (It helped that the protagonist was adorable.) And some of the bosses were near Hollow Knight perfection level of 'challenging, but fair' in difficulty. 

And despite being such a linear Metroidvania, there’s an impressive amount of collectables and lore. (For those who like to read.) A decent variety in its challenges, and an 'Ender Lilies'-like variety to the combat. (In that there's a lot of 'charms' that you'll find, and probably never use. [i]But it's nice to have the option to experiment.[/i]) 

[i]Best of all, you know how platforming is easily the worst part of nearly every Metroidvania? Even some of the good ones, like Blasphemous? Well, this one doesn’t *have* platforming. See? Literal perfection.[/i]

Few flaws aside, it was a fun time.

('Dungeon Defenders 2' is indeed better with a party of friends. But the game is clearly optimized like crap. Had to reinstall the fucker three times to get it past the opening cinematic, and its immediate crash.)

'Metal Hellsinger' kicks your fucking teeth in. (Maybe it’s because I’m relatively inexperienced at rhythm games, and I absolutely suck at modern twin-stick shooters.) But I want to suffer anyway, because the soundtrack is great and I might just need some more practice. (Or to fiddle with my latency options.) [i]I do see a lot of people complaining that it's hard to stay on beat.[/i]
