    This one surprised me. At first I was underwhelmed, because in the beginning it's very limited gameplay-wise. However, it gets better as you unlock new abilities and venture into the "secret" levels required to beat the game.

    Odallus may look like an NES game, but it plays and handles progression like contemporary titles, respecting the player’s time and offering numerous secrets in an exploration-based 2D world. I went into Odallus: The Dark Call looking for Castlevania and left with an engaging experience that pays tribute to both classic 8-bit titles and modern Metroidvania games.
