You can't just say that without giving at least one example And don't say Castlevania: Symphony of the Night because I KNOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD. I should play it, shouldn't I?
Just checked and I have the Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night & Rondo of Blood collection for my PS. I seem to have gotten all the trophies for Rondo of Blood. I don't remember playing it, though
The last Metroidvania I played was Monster Sanctuary. Before that it was probably Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.
Always tried to get into Axiom Verge but never stuck with it for more than one or two hours.
