So I’m currently playing through Hollow Knight, and two months ago I played through (and loved) Ori and the Blind Forest.
Two Metroidvanias inside two months. Okay I hear you ask, what of it?
Well, those are the first Metroidvanias (or 'Search Action games, for those in the know) that I’ve ever really played for longer than ten minutes. To say I bounce off those sorts of games would be an understatement.
So, as you’ve gotten older, have you noticed that your tastes in games has evolved in any meaningful way?
I used to be super not into metroidvanias either, so much so just hearing it’s a metroidvanias meant I wouldn’t play it. then a coworker showed me Super Metroid on 3ds and absolutely loved it!
I think another one for me was picross, and picross 3d. No idea why I ended up sinking hours into a puzzle game as I’m usually not so into puzzle genre.
I also have random spurts of racing games, I go from hating them to “hay let’s try how need for speed is right now”
