It was 6-0 after 1 and finished 9-4. So if you're a Columbus fan you can say you won the last two periods!
I think they were inspired by Simon's Quest, but it's definitely its own thing. Not nearly as much collection and weapon options as even that game, so it's fairly light on the Metroid Vania credentials, but it still counts.
There are some bullshit room design/enemy placement combos intended to drop you into instant death. There are a lot of accessibility/difficulty options that make that whole thing less aggravating, from having more extra lives, to not losing everything when you die, to bottomless pits dealing damage instead of being death.
There are several variant characters you can play with after beating the main campaign, with wildly varying difficulty. Overall I played through four or five times.
Note: there's an excessive amount of gore. Also at least one of the monsters has tits. If that stuff bothers you, probably pass
I've played through Infernax multiple times to see a bunch of the different endings. The game is amazing, but very punishing. Draws a lot of inspiration from Castlevania II with quests and stuff. Lots of inside jokes to that series as well.
The game is strict but fair. There are two modes: Casual and Hardcore. The biggest difference is Hardcore mode has you lose everything since your last save. Casual is a lot more forgiving.
Of course, since it's a love letter to older Castlevania games, there's a lot of instant death spikes and pits. If that sort of thing frustrates you, I'd give it a pass.
As I said before, I beat the game multiple times since there are different endings based on your decisions. You can go try to follow a good or bad path and your character will change in appearance and weapon usage. Or you can ignore that stuff and go right down the middle. There's a lot of dark humor as well and it's very violent, so keep that in mind. Your first playthrough will run about 4-6 hours, with each run much shorter than that. Heck, there's one ending that only takes 5 minutes to get.
There's lots of Easter Eggs from older NES games and in-game cheat codes that can really change the way you play. I won't spoil them here though.
10/10, my game of the year last year.

Apparently about half the castle is there... including its inversion, including the final boss. Its crazy seeing how much has been done for this questionable system. The prototype is findable online and easily slots into an emulator, but you can watch Derek compress about 8 hours of frustrating controls down to 30 minutes of observations.

Also, why the fuck is Castlevania's music so incredible?

This video I posted in the last mood thread has actually become a pretty effective coping mechanism over the last couple of months. If I catch myself getting into a negative mood spiral when I'm alone, I try to imitate that man's howl of ultimate suffering. This has several positive effects:

I suspect he stays, I suspect he passes Gretzky, but I wouldn't bet the house on it.
And barring significant injury, he's going to get it. At the pace he's on this season he's going to get 25-ish more goals, let's call it 25 and get him to 825 on the season.
That would mean he would need to score 69 goals (nice) to tie Gretzky, 70 to pass. Assume he plays 3 more years, that's an average of 24 goals per year. In the last 5 seasons before this one he has 49, 51, 48 (in 68 games), 24 (in 45 games), 50. Even if his average production per 82 games drops in half, he'll get there.
So yes, unless he gets hurt, or Comrade Putin calls him home, he's getting the record.
Russian machine don't break.
Jaromir Jagr is 50.
Hilariously this also resets his eligibility for the Hockey Hall of Fame, since the requirements are 3 years after your last professional game.
