Mina the Hollower

You could say any positive adjective in the English language and they would all aptly describe this game.

Que experiencia incrível, vi a gameplay de um amigo e me interessei, e ainda bem que me interessei, pois esse jogo é uma experiência única e merece ser jogado se você curte um metroidvania maneiro.

Mina the Hollwer feels like a bit of a blend between Zelda and Bloodborne, but it leans more into the latter than you might expect. The game can be quite punishing and will demand a lot out of you. The primary focus is on combat and platforming, and going out of your way to explore and tackle the various challenges throughout the world will reward you with collectibles, upgrades and trinkets that alter how you play and can make for a smoother and more interesting ride. The game has a very charming and unmistakable Zelda-esque aesthetic, an amazing soundtrack by Virt, strange characters to meet, lots of optional content and a ton of modifiers including a built-in randomizer for future playthroughs if you're into replaying. A fantastic time all around.

This game feels like The Legend of Zelda and Bloodborne had a baby. It's insane how much lovely, quality content is packed into this it at a $20 price point. The gorgeous pixel art and earwormy soundtrack are the icing on what's already a delicious cake of a game. Check it out if you have even the slightest interest. It's unlikely you'll regret it.

An excellent game from start to finish. The one thing that the game nails above anything else, is making exploration feel rewarding. You find so many cool and unique abilities that allow you to tailor your own playstyle, which keep the game feeling fresh. Definitely among the best games of the year so far.

Incredibly fun from start to end with a banging soundtrack with a good amount of challenge. Mina is cute too so bonus points for that :)

This game is amazing and very fun to play but this game is challenging. They made a top down souls game almost. Some can even say it’s harder than Elden Ring.

Note to everyone who wants to play this game: THIS IS NOT FOR BEGINNERS AT ALL. This game is for seasomned platformer vets. It is BALLS hard. That being said, it is absolutely gorgeous, the movement is perfect, the weapons are punchy, the enemies are varied and challenging, the maps are sprawling...what's not to like? If you've cut your teeth on Link's awakening for the original Game Boy, Mina will be very very familiar to you. Anyone up for a healthy challenge will love this game.

Great level design and "not too bad" combat, the boss design is really what saves combat from being bad to somewhat enjoable. 7.5/10
