"WayForward has created some of my favorite games of the last decade. They developed the excellent A Boy & His Blob, the Mighty Switch Force games, and DuckTales: Remastered. These are talented people with real passion for their craft. I liked Shantae on the GBC and I really liked its DSiWare sequel, Risky’s Revenge. Both of those games, however, have their share of problems. The original features an inverted difficulty curve and an overzealous map. The sequel has a pared-back map, but a confusing cave system, impractical warp system, and a short length. I had high hopes for Pirate’s Curse, the wrap-up to the Shantae trilogy, but its many delays and persistent lack of a release date worried me. Well, after finishing it up on 3DS, it’s clear that the lengthy development time did wonders for Pirate’s Curse. This isn’t just the best Shantae game; it may be WayForward’s greatest achievement to date."
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 🤷
