Hello everyone, new here so here’s my attempt at a first post! I’ve been checking the activities page every so often to gain some inspiration on how to structure this, so that’s still a work in progress and might change with time. Anyway, here’s hoping I’ll have fun here while getting through my backlog a bit faster this year :)
Games beaten since joining BLAEO:
Some of the mechanics of this game were very fun, but there were some weaker areas especially near the end. I can see why people would love this game, so maybe metroidvanias just aren't my thing.
Currently actively playing:
| Game | Platform | Progress |
|---|---|---|
| Prey | Epic | 8h |
| Little Nightmares 2 | Nintendo Switch | 3h? |
New backlog additions:
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
Devil May Cry 5
Samorost 2 (trade)
Fort Solis (trade)
Welcome!
maybe metroidvanias just aren’t my thing
Yeah, I do love the Ori games, but they also made me realize its not a genre for me. I tried a few other metroidvanias and didn’t enjoy them.
Enjoy your new games!
Yeah similar experience then, personally I always find the maps confusing haha. Though one metroidvania that I absolutely loved is Animal Well, if you haven’t played it I’d recommend!
Congratz for beating Ori, it’s not an easy one !
Thanks, it definitely had me consider quitting at certain points, glad I ended up finishing it tho

Welcome to BLAEO! Here’s to the backlog slaying and to having fun playinga games!
Thanks!
