    God damn is Dracula a fun fight in Dead Cells. Also he is hilarious in the actual castle too:
    He appears in the later version of the castle to mess with you and do things like turn castle upside down or even delete the poor merchant from existence.

    Super happy with this DLC.

    Physical release of Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon and its sequel, the retro-styled games from Inti Creates, for the PS4 and Switch in Japan. Seems to be a regular and a special edition.

    Nothing on a western release... at least, not yet.

    I bet it will, but hopefully it's not LRG.

    I still need to get around to COTM2. I really enjoyed the first one. Never did finish the "real" Bloodstained.

    Blasphemous II, yeeeah!

    Looks like it'll be pretty similar to the original gameplay wise, and the artstyle is identical. So, more Blasphemous, in a different place. I love it.

    Elderand I think was the strongest. Very SOTN. And I'm not a big fan of sprite graphics, but they can look good when done well, and these look good.
    Benedict had a great premise and presentation, but some really janky gameplay - lotta bugs that still need squashing.
    Itorah had absolutely gorgeous visuals, great character design and animation, gameplay was basic but solid, really let down by enemy variety though (there's like 8) and a pretty linear world. Not especially Metroidish.
    And Lone Fungus... I actually didn't finish, and probably won't. Some fun movement mechanics, but I got a few hours in and just fell asleep. Everything becomes very samey after a while. Some might like. It's super crazy inspiring that it was pretty much entirely made by a single guy, and makes me want to learn Unity. I'll metroid my own vania.

    Been on a real kick with these, especially since the Silksong delay (was gonna be June, now is question mark). Also supposed to be out in 2023 are Last Faith, Blasphemous II, and Crowsworn, and I will be very surprised if that winds up being true for any of them! Ha haaah~!

    I've never even heard of it until now, but yeah... I'm loving that hand-painted art style.

    I kind of hated the demo but it seems I'm alone? Or maybe the demo was just bad. Some really frustrating boss behind a decently distant checkpoint. And because this is vaguely soulslike you lose your health potions for good and have to keep carrying on without them, instead of respawning with your lost consumables.

    Anyway it looks very pretty and is a sizable game, but there's zero innovation at best. Its no Ori or Hollow Knight (but then, what is.)

    Coming soon eh? Is that what we are going with?
    Also there is some similarity in character design here.
    I have bloodstained and Hollow Knight, how are the other five?

    Sooner than some things.
    ...but later than others.

    Blasphemous is awesome, heartily recommend. I tried Lone Fungus, and it was fine for a while, but eventually the emphasis on precision jumping puzzles put me off of it.

    Hollow Knight, Bloodstained and Blasphemous are definitely the stand-outs from the bundle, and if you don't have any of them it's still worth picking up.
