"When it comes to the metroidvania style of games, there are those that strive to try and reinvent the concept by introducing their own elements, those that offer an amazing aesthetic to build their game around, and some of the best that manage to do both. The concept of being able to explore a massive area, obtaining new abilities, and using these new abilities to return to reach previously unavailable areas has become something of a staple in many games and now Cookie Cutter is looking to put a bit of an extreme twist on things. Featuring a hand-drawn art style and a focus on bloody violent combat, is Cookie Cutter‘s latest spin on metroidvanias worth picking up?"
Review - In the market for a stylish platformer? You’ve found it in Cookie Cutter. It’s one of the best indie games of recent times.
A delicious Metroidvania that's as punk and gross as it is good, Cookie Cutter is a great take on the genre with some terrific animation and melee attacks.
Metroidvania fans would be wise to eat this right up.
