If you like metroidvania games, play this one. It is rather good. If you don't like those, maybe still play it, because there are walk through. It is is still a fun ride while you are on it. I enjoyed metroid fusion, because it told me where to go. I like the challange of 'how do I get there' vs 'where do I go now.

      AAA development of Metroidvania titles have mysteriously halted in recent years. While they were never absolute top-sellers to begin with, a large amount of classics in the genre have been both critically and publicly lauded. Metroid, the innovative series that single-handedly brought about the genre, hasn't seen a traditional 2D entry since 2002's Metroid Fusion for the GBA. Axiom Verge looks exactly like another two-dimensional Metroid; right down to the traditional animations between rooms. T...
