The Messenger was a bit of an intro to metroidvania for me too. After finishing it I played and finished Hollow Knight, the entire Shovel Knight series, and Celeste and I am playing Astalon currently. The Messenger also just has such a good soundtrack.
I’m glad to hear you had a similar experience to mine! It’s a great introduction into the genre, and I couldn’t agree more about the soundtrack. I’ve never heard of Astalon. I’ll have to check it out.
I’ve never heard of this game!! It seems pretty cool and I’m also playing another good metroidvania as in Ori and the will of the wisps. Great video btw
Thank you! It’s a great mix between difficult platforming and the addicting exploration of a Metroidvania. Will of the Wisps is fantastic! It’s easily one of the best sequels I’ve played. The game really does do everything that the original did but better.
It's pretty similar to Shovel Knight in its art style, and the two games do share some similar aspects of gameplay. I'd say they both have very similar levels of quality. The Messenger has a DLC story, as well, which was amazing! As for Hollow Knight; my schedule is finally freeing up, so I should be able to give it another shot soon! I've been listening to its soundtrack a lot recently, which has got me wanting to play it.
