Why is this regarded as part of the holy trinity of metroidvanias?

Good bait thread.

You'd use a guide when building a car, but that doesn't mean the car's design is flawed, dumbass

It's always been massively overrated due to its difficulty and /v/irgins needing to prove their aptitude for something somehow. I loathe seeing it in that atrocious chart that gets posted all the time as well. It's in desperate need of an overhaul.

>>382073280
It has plenty of good elements to it, but a lot of it is circlejerking over how cryptic it is. Basically any and all criticism is countered with "git gud". Literally the Dark Souls of /v/-approved Metroidvanias.

>>382073280
I dunno. The only guide I used was the steam manual that came with it, and someone spoiled how to get the holy grail, but that's really just a QoL thing.

Terrible bait analogy.

>>382073280
I finished the main story without a guide.
I had to use one to 100% and do a fast run tho

I mean... I beat the game without understanding any of the cryptic stuff, so maybe you're just a retard?

what a forgettable game that was...

Isn't the holy grail like the first item you find?

Is the version on Steam the one people like?

>get item in la-mulana
>"Oh, I got the blue key. I can open the two blue doors in the blue hallway and then proceed to forget that I ever picked it up. Yay."

>one game and a remake
?????

>>382073280
The original needed a guide while with the remake you could probably go and finish without a guide
Honestly you'll probably miss something by pure dumb assery

Hes putting it alongside Super Metroid and SOTN I assume

I tried playing super metriod and I got bored out of my mind. Is the whole game shit, or is it just crap in the beginning?
