Xanthiom 2

Really interesting mechanics

Just great!

Pretty good! Gives strong Super Metroid vibes. The gun customization is great. I used quite a few options, including some of the weirder ones like the one that [spoiler]reverses the direction of your shots[/spoiler]. The story is fine, but nothing to write home about. The puzzles were pretty fun, though a few were a bit tedious to solve. I played the first one a while ago and it was also blast.

Both games are pretty good metroid like games, you have extensive gun customisation and can become incredibly overpowered the more you explore so it actually rewards the exploration and puzzle solving. Each game has its own unique powers, gun modes, game mechanics, music and environments and so on, so it's not the same exact thing twice There is a story but I'll be damned if I knew what was really going on

Solid game! It was fun in a similar way to Zero which I also liked quite a bit. Only played through the remade version of Zero for an hour or so but liked it so far. I do think even on Hard some of the bosses are a bit underwhelming. [spoiler]The last boss was too especially since I forced a bunch of slowdown with a setup that put a ton of bullets on screen at all times.[/spoiler] Some of the modifiers look fun and the game feels very replayable, having an end-game grading system and all. I'll look forward to playing again whenever I get the itch.

Great Metroidvania, especially If you like 2D Metroid games.
