Great f.....g.g game. Art style is beautiful, mechanics are solid, responsiveness/controls are excellent. The stuttering, engine related I am sure, hopefully will be fixed.
"It should not be difficult to write a better book than The Great Gatsby in 2017".
"It should not be difficult to film a better movie than Citizen Kane in 2017".
"It should not be difficult to paint a better painting than the Mona Lisa in 2017".
highlighting the absurdity of the statement.
Find this reasoning a little unfair. (Apples vs Oranges) The "art/medium/tools" of writing a book, painting a picture, making/directing a movie (which have a vision/message to deliver) where pretty developed for their time.
And from a purely game-play perspective the tools have advanced quite a bit (also for metrovania 2d), allowing for more complex animation to merge with game mechanics, having more mechanics, etc.
This may make the OG Metriod seem even more astonishing (given they had to work on "limited" hardware), but from a purely objective point-of-view, not so much?
Anyway glowing recommendations. (On a indie binge as my 980ti melted)
Edit: No saying it's not difficult to make a good metrovania, but maybe not as difficult. (sry boiler-plate arguments just irks me, maybe this was your point
Edit2: Not sure if you are prasing of dissing HK, one hand it seems that you could be praising them for the unimaginably task of making a great metrovania, on the other hand you seem to be offended that a master-piece like Metriod (as monalisa/citizencane/greatgatesby) is even compared to this piece of s....
