I'm waiting to see if Valdis wins the vote. And on Guacamelee to go on sale. And I noticed La Mulana is 75% off, should I get it? It seems like one of those games everyone's always going on about.
La-Mulana - mainly the remake - is legitimately one of my favourite games of all time, and as someone who owns several hundred games on Steam
alone that's no small recognition. So long as you're willing to put up with a genuinely difficult game - and not just in the action sense but also in ways that will heavily test your observational skills, puzzle-solving, memory, reasoning, and curiosity. This isn't a game where you just whack every wall until you find the one that breaks. Because of all of that, it's also an incredibly rewarding game and every bit of progress you make feels
so good. It's also extremely lovingly crafted, with fantastic music and beautiful area designs and fantastic boss fights. It's also a rare Metroidvania that is genuinely non-linear - your exploration is your own, and you're not locked into "well it feels open but actually your progression is the same every playthrough". And it gets even more open and crazy on successive playthroughs.
3.75$ is more than a fair price for it, so do it. Do it and report back.
