I&#8217;m a big Castlevania fan, but primarily before they became Metroidvanias. I also don&#8217;t consider this a knock on the subgenre; it&#8217;s really just all of the backtracking to previously explored locations that loses my interest.<\/p>\n<p>Anywho, I finally found one that I genuinely want to play, and not just to impress my co-workers. Although, anyone who knows me won&#8217;t be surprised by the Metroidvania that finally made me care about Metroidvanias &#8211; <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2769080\/Kong_Survivor_Instinct\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2769080\/Kong_Survivor_Instinct\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" rel=\"noopener\">Kong: Survivor Instinct<\/a>, an official Monsterverse entry that takes place directly after the events of the excellent 2021 movie Godzilla vs. Kong.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"hawk-nest\" data-block-type=\"embed\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\"\/>\n<p>For clarity, Kong: Survivor Instinct just came out today and I haven&#8217;t had the chance to play it, so I can&#8217;t actually say whether it&#8217;s any good, but it looks neat! Visually, there&#8217;s a lot going on, from the detailed renderings of famous kaiju to the rubble-laden environments basking in moonlight and cloud cover. I think it looks really nice, but again, all I&#8217;ve seen are screenshots and thus can&#8217;t vouch for how it all looks\/performs in motion.<\/p>\n<p>Developer 7Levels describes the game as a 2.5D action-adventure game with &#8220;realistic platforming, challenging combat, and metroidvania-style exploration during a thrilling quest of survival worthy of the Monsterverse franchise.&#8221; The story sounds pretty basic, but serviceable enough, starring an oil rig worker named David who&#8217;s looking for his missing daughter amidst the absolute chaos that follows in the wake of a war between Titans. David also has to contend with the Hyenas, a mercenary group with a new villainous scheme that re-emerges following the events of the 2019 film\u00a0Godzilla: King of the Monsters.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m pretty much sold on everything about this game besides the &#8220;Metroidvania-style exploration,&#8221; which almost certainly portends gated backtracking through levels I&#8217;ve already seen. But hey, if it takes an official Monsterverse game to open me up to a genre with so many beloved games, that might not be such a bad thing.<\/p>\n<p>Kong: Survivor Instinct is out now on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X\/S, and PC.<\/p>\n<p><em>I suppose it might be time for me to pick something from our list of the <\/em><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamesradar.com\/best-metroidvania-games\/\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.gamesradar.com\/best-metroidvania-games\/\"><em>best Metroidvania games<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-ZearTMMTL595drgcWoYBb3\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-ZearTMMTL595drgcWoYBb3 slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\"\/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Weekly digests, tales from the communities you love, and more<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamesradar.com\/games\/action\/this-new-official-monsterverse-sequel-to-godzilla-vs-kong-might-be-the-metroidvania-to-convince-me-to-start-caring-about-metroidvanias\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m gonna take a lot of heat for this, and trust me when I say I already have in my work Slack, but Metroidvanias don&#8217;t do anything for me.
