Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☑ Beautiful ☐ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS (No pixelate anymore like the Cursed of the moon series😂, the characters and the enviroment well detailed!) ---{ Gameplay }--- ☐ Masterpiece ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't (One of the best metroid and most unique i've ever played! Based on my experience, just in this game we could flip the entire map (with skill) and walk at the ceiling to more explore the unreachable area, so innovative!✨) ---{ Audio }--- ☐ Eargasm ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf (Better song than the cursed moon series, this time they used violin bgm, aaand its really really fits PERFECTLY with the atmosphere and some conflicts, what a great improvement!❤️) ---{ Audience }--- ☐ Kids ☑ Teens ☑ Adults ☐ Grandma ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☐ Check if you can run Paint ☐ Potato ☑ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer (Check minimum spec for better experience!) ---{ Game Size }--- ☐ Floppy Disk ☐ Old Fashioned ☑ Workable ☐ Big ☐ Will eat 15% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it ☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data (11gb+ for full size!) ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☐ Easy ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☑ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls (Average metroidvania nowadays) ---{ Grind }--- ☐ Nothing to grind ☐ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☑ Average grind level ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding (More you explored, more you got the strong item/equipment for the endgame areas, I recommend you to explored the entire map first because there are some HIDDEN item/equipment!🔥) ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☐ Some lore ☐ Average ☑ Good ☐ Lovely ☐ It'll replace your life (SPOILER ALERT! Different universe with the cursed of the moon series, this story more like "WHAT IF" route.) ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☐ Short ☑ Average ☐ Long ☐ To infinity and beyond (Depending on patience and skill ofc, if you are metroid player estimated NEARLY 20hrs for full achievement on Steam!) ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☐ Worth the price ☑ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money (I recommend buy it during sale ONLY for now👍) ---{ Bugs }--- ☑ Never heard of ☐ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☑ 8 ☐ 9 ☐ 10 NB : SPOILER ALERT! In my opinion, Cursed of the moon series has more catchy STORY, idk why, but all the endings (include true ending) in this game feels like SAD ending and i dont expect everything end like that,,😔 but yeah, maybe IGA-san just want to make the "WHAT IF" route seriously this time. In other hands all of the gameplay, graphics, UI, mechanics, voice actor, BGM, was REALLY REALLY improved! Love it personally.❤️ Can't wait for the next sequel!✨

Great game. This was my first time playing a game like Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, which felt very different from the metroidvanias I've played before. Since I hadn't played any Castlevania games, it was a fresh experience for me. I absolutely loved the weapon variety the game offers. You can try different builds, and every weapon provides a unique playstyle. I also enjoyed the level design, and unlike many other metroidvanias, this game is quite narrative-driven. The Japanese voice acting was great as always. Overall, it's a solid 8/10 for me.
