I think it's weird how the Souls series is exploration platformers (Metroidvanias) and now there's a new generation of Soulsvanias that are inspired by Dark Souls, a Metroidvania. This is like some sort of selective-breeding back-crossing shit.
@SquirrelLilly just wait until we start seeing even more subgenres of Metroidvania, considering we're in the middle of a resurgence.
@InTheLandOfTheRisingSun Yeah, people want to turn every little thing into a microgenre. Same thing happens to music sometimes, have you ever tried to talk to a hardcore fan about metal or techno?
