    Aeterna Noctis provides challenging platforming to the metroidvania genre. With a grueling souls like gameplay loop you will have to have to maintain a close eye on your health and be mindful of of where your soul is if you want your skills to progress. I think fans of Hollow Knight will find interest in this game.

    Hacía mucho tiempo no jugaba a un metroidvania que fuera tan diferente, tan adictivo y tan difícil pero satisfactorio en algunas partes delHacía mucho tiempo no jugaba a un metroidvania que fuera tan diferente, tan adictivo y tan difícil pero satisfactorio en algunas partes del juego. Confieso que he tenido que cambiar del modo Noctis al modo Aeterna en alguna ocasión, pero me parece una gran idea poder modificar la dificultad si te atascas en el juego. Al fin y al cabo, soy yo quien ha decidido jugar un juego difícil en su modalidad difícil. Por poner alguna pequeña pega la música en alguna fase se me hace repetitiva (quizás porque son áreas muy grandes) pero en general la banda sonora es tan increible como el resto del juego. Una compra más que recomendada.… Expand

    TO ME: The Best Metroidvania to date !

    Better than Ender Lilies I did not long ago,, ! Better than GhostSong that I loved soooo much (but    TO ME: The Best Metroidvania to date !

    Better than Ender Lilies I did not long ago,, !
    Better than GhostSong that I loved soooo much (but more for it's vibe, story telling, thema, atmosphere.. than pure mv/plat forming/boss fights !!)
    Better than Outbound that I loved very much !
    Better even than Hollow Knights !!

    My only big complain is for that not excusable failure on a PS5 ..: the game stutter like hell in some areas!!
    I'm very sensitive to framerate (refuse to play anything not 60fps. Période) and these stutters hell don't miss to make my eye bleeding !! Normally I would direct uninstall the game.. but here no! The game is so good.. that I suffer and inflict my eyes yet again some eyes tortures..

    To THE DEVS : Thank you ! Thank you BIG time ! Sincerely thank you !
    And please do release a ps5 patch for these insane stutterings issues..    … Expand

    for experienced people for metroidvania, can be great, but for beginners, this could be a bit frustrating, you will die and die.
