Quoting: Audi
Quoting: rustybroomhandleMy desire to play this is wrestling with my strong dislike of the CEO of this company. :/ I think in the end a surprise third challenger will enter the arena - my empty wallet. :)
What is the reason for dislike for the CEO?
This is not a good place to get into that since it involves dredging up GamerGate again, and I feel we should spare Liam that. ;)

Re Feral:

I think "O VAIN... etc" is Total War: Rome 2
and "ONE RETURN TO" is either Shadow of Wardor or Rise of Tom Braider

If I weren't broke I'd totally back this. :P As Liam said, they have a good Linux track record, and well worth supporting.
Get thinking, as Feral Interactive are teasing another new Linux port

Had a good time with this over the weekend. I actually enjoy the mine, sell, repeat stuff and was happy once the game opened up an I could just explore and buy all the upgrades and find the secret areas.

Quoting: tuubiWait, aren't Metroidvanias supposed to be platformers? I mean, this looks nice but isn't that stretching the concept just a bit?
Usually it just means the progression/story is set in an open world, but new areas (usually with new bits of story) are accessed by acquiring new skills.

Other example of non-platfomer Metroidvania is Aquaria.

One could argue that even Slime Rancher has some rlements of the genre.
I guess we've got the next "roguelite" on our hands. This is stretching the concept beyond the point of usefulness.

It's like we're running out of genres, and soon there'll be like three to choose from.
Agreed. Genre descriptors should not be references to other games. Roguelike, metroidvania, soulslike, and one that has thankfully died off, doom-clone.
