I needed a Metroidvania in my life again!
Bloodstained is a great 2D hack'n slash platformer. The story caught me from the very beginning, which is similar to other similar games: you are the hero entrusted to beat the evil in a land full of monster. You'll need the help of other peasants to get through very singular places. It reminds me to Castlevania: Order of Eclesia (NDS - 2008) beacuse of the mechanics.
I really love the graphics: the scenarios are full 3D with perspective but only 2D playable (some kind of 2.5D I guess). The game itself is full of details and content: there's always a new enemy, zone, item or ability to achieve. Besides there are plenty of secrets behind walls!
What I love most is the diversity of enemies and secondary missions. I only have felt a bit frustrated in some parts when you don't really know where to continue due to the size of the map.
To sum up, I truly recommend it if you like any kind of 2D platformers or great monster and anime styled games!
