The intro, which involves a group of guys sitting around a table playing Dungeons and Dragons before one of them gets lost on the way to the toilet... and ends up in an endless dungeon filled with monsters, was all I needed to see to know that this was a game I was going to enjoy.
And boy, did I enjoy it. So much so, in fact, that we jumped back in again today to keep going. In all honesty, I could probably keep playing it every day for the rest of my life. Okay, that's probably not true. Or maybe it is?

Eastasiasoft today announced that they will release the Ghost 1.0 + Unepic Collection, two popular metroidvania titles, physically on one cart for Nintendo Switch, as well as a physical and digital Asian release of Ghost 1.0 for PS4 in Q3 2019.
GameSpew: If you find yourself craving to play a Metroidvania game on Switch there are plenty for you to choose from. Here are the ones which we think are the best.
No mention of Dead Cells? Got that game recently and it's freaking awesome!
I would absolutely include Yoku's Island Adventure on this list. It's different, but the same basic concept of get new item or ability, progress to areas previously unavailable
Dark Souls continues to influence game mechanics, especially metroidvania platformers. Souls-like metroidvanias are becoming a norm on the steam store.
