Stickility

This is a rock solid MV that any fan of the genre should take a look at. It's worth mentioning the entire game is made by a single dev, but it's hard to tell given how well it looks and plays. Don't be fooled by the fact it's a game about stick people, there's a pretty decent game here that involves crafting upgrades as you play. A few of them are not craftable and must be found, but it's a different and unique take on progression that works well without ever feeling grindy. Gameplay is pretty good and the boss fights are solid. There is ample fast travel and the game also lets you fast travel instantly to a boss you found and died to so you can avoid annoying runbacks that show in some other games. 99% completion in 9 hours, definitely recommend.

Did some playtesting for Stickility so OBVIOUSLY my review is a bit biased. But it's absolutely amazing. I cannot express enough how awesome of a Metroidvania Stickility is and I really just love it in every single possible way. It hits every single nail right on the head and it's packed with so much to do and explore and see. The Areas are varied, the Music is awesome, The BOSSES are awesome. It's perfect, it's ABSOLUTELY perfect, and I honestly believe it's on par with Silksong.

Fun combat, fun platforming, fun all around.
