The Shantae series has been a pleasant surprise from the start, a Metroidvania style platformer which features a quite whimsical and visually appealing universe along with some very original powers as well level as level and boss designs. While not one of the major properties out there, it has enough of a cult following that Wayforward has been able to parlay its support into a massively successful kickstarter for the upcoming Half-Genie Hero, which will take greater advantage of what the current consoles have to offer. Until that comes out though, there’s Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse, a sequel to the last DS title does more than whet our appetite.
There’s a lot to love about Metroidvania games, from the original Metroid and Castlevania entries to some of the subgenre’s more compelling entries on PS4 and other more recent systems. While there…
Love the newest Strider! Definitely underrated.
Love these lists as i now want to check out Momodora (on PS extra) and Ender Lillies.
It's a very solid list and the best part is that I think all of them are on other platforms so more people can play them.
GOG is giving away Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse as part of their Summer Sale.
Damn, looks like my 2 physical Switch copies are worth quite a lot of money on ebay for some reason.
The last two entries have limited prints with Pirates curse having the most limited copies of the shantae series that's why.

Destroy all Humans was $2 at one point... this is by far the cheapest month so far. Sine Mora, Shantae? WTF
I guess they are using it to fund all the money they losing on Game Pass from $1 subs.
Why would they even try giving away decent games when they can have their customers pay for them with GP?
Do you think it's possible XBL will include GamePass in the future and just drop the free games?
I'm talking about them dropping free games and providing GP at the same cost as XBL. $15/month is too much for lots of ppl imo
april was pretty good with Project Cars 2 and Fable Anniversary, but the rest this year haven’t been great. But, mind you, you do get 4 games every month as opposed to PsPlus scaling back to 2 games a month so 🤷
