Holy crap, this sale has great discounts on dozens of the best roguelike and Metroidvania games ever made
In one of the best game sales of the year so far, Humble is offering hefty discounts on dozens of the best roguelikes and best Metroidvania games ever, as well as some stellar platformers, in the aptly named Plat-Rogue-Vania-Like sale (opens in new tab).
This sale is a celebration of backtracking, double-jumping, and procedurally generating, not to mention terrible names for great genres with no universally agreed-upon meaning. It's got indie classics, some extremely well-hidden gems, and plenty of recent successes, most of which happen to fall under the category of My Jam. There are too many good games here to cover in-depth, so I'm just going to pull out a few of the ones I'm familiar with and wholeheartedly recommend.
Phew! Just a few games, then, with plenty more where that came from. Most of these games are upwards of 50% off in this sale, and they're all more than worth it at full price anyway, so this sale really is a steal. Just double-check the keys for each game to make sure you get one for your preferred platform.
Everyone said this new Metroidvania is a "near-perfect mix of Celeste and Hollow Knight," and I see what they meant.
