what was your favourite game of metroidvania month and what game should be in the next one?
hollow knight says follow twitter.com/indeimaus

Lost Ruins
Objection.
That's 'the knight', not 'the hollow knight'
I'll go back to my corner bye
Is Heroric Halo 2 near?
Ender lilies
Game giving you fast-travel in the end just seems like such a "and now you get the QoL update you wanted for the whole game"
@@terreausore2435 it provides a sense of pride and accomplishment
I think its more for the 100% completionists . Now they can go back to every single spot on the map to grab all the items they missed. Achievment grinding is a pain in the a**
They plan to add Ng+ once they get past their initial rush of bugfixes in launch week, it's mostly in for that and 100% as someone said
Are people seriously whining about this?
So...Dark souls then...which only gave you fast travel really close to the end of the game.
Ahhh, yes, finally, a dental/tooth-related metroidvania. As a person in the dental field, I feel like the gaming industry finally sees me.
I was gonna like this comment but 111 is such a perfect number in my opinion
@@TheFallenAngelHasRisen I too, was gonna like the comment. But 222 was an even better number.....
Wait a minute….
We should get this to 333 soon
it would be better to have 444
They made so much improvements to this game since you made this. The Colors of Rot update really fixed a lot of the issues. More healing, fast travel earlier on, better pacing to some of the areas, etc.
I used to ragebite my Gamecube controller as a child, that poor thing had so many little teeth marks. Times have changed though and I've matured; I bite a Switch controller now.
Hows it taste
@@D.KlWA-aG like the suffering of my youth
@@GamerShifty 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
We all have are little quirks when we get mad at games. I start verbally abusing the console and whatever game I'm playing, usually calling it "garbage" and "bad game design"
are there good metroidvania or souls like games for switch?
Grime was a trip to watch man, a game i couldnt play myself, so being able to sit on your shoulder and watch you suffer through was a treat and MAN is that game pretty. Keep slappin out those bangers Indei~
One thing in it's favor: it's fucking gorgeous. Like holy shit, is this pretty.
@@DamnDaimen I just wish they put the same care into the animations as they did the art itself. Animations felt under baked by comparison.
This is surely the game I felt better watching mouse play than doing it myself
@@DamnDaimen
> it's fucking gorgeous
sure, every BLOATED games today IS gorgeous,
because we all know, GRAPHIC IS everything, LOL
I think it is now free on the epic game store if you want to play it
"Sir, if you have a phase 2, my lovely viewers are about to see the credits of the video."
My thoughts exactly when I beat that boss. Minus the viewers and video bit.
I played Grime is 2023, and it is just amazing, despite the lack of fast travel. The fast travel didn't miff me too much, since I found all of the neuron paths pretty quickly, but it was a very difficult game. Every time I encountered a boss after the mothers, I continued thinking "This must be the hardest boss in the game." Then I get hit with Shapely Fidus, so then I think "Ok. That's over. The next boss has got to be easier."
You can guess how that went with The Final Performance. I believe the main appeal of the game during the boss segments is slowly learning how a boss moves, what you can hit,, when you can parry, and when you can use some part of your toolkit to fuck 'em up quicker and quicker, until you inevitably beat it due to learning all of their moves. A boss only gets easier once you know what you can and can't parry. Very good metroidvania, 9/10 for me.
neuron paths 💀
What? But there are 2 fast travels, the nervepasses, and the surrogate TP (this one I unlocked it at 40% of the game so it's not like its difficult you can access the area of the boss that gives it pretty early)
Oops, I unlocked fast travel before I felt that I really needed it :) it comes way before the end of the game now in 2023. The childbed bosses in the latest updates are sooo good btw. Certainly worth a revisit if you played this game early
'Stealing both these creatures' breath isn't enough to heal'
Unless you use one of the 25 consumables the game gives you to get more breath for absorbs Indei :)
Or if you spent all your hunt points on the killed enemies drop large clouds of breath modification
Do you realy think that people use consumables in games?
@@danieladamczyk4024 I'm terrified to.
@@teejay9189 "Too good to use" syndrome. We all have it. Just to varying degrees.
@@danieladamczyk4024 Exactly, those are just to hoard XD
Note on the Shidra fight, that "Slap" he does at the end of the crystal laser thing can be absorbed, giving you breath to heal
did not know that! but i ended up just dashing over it so i could hit his head
Also pull any yellow telegraphs, such as the yellow ball. You can yeet it into his head.
The visuals for this game are so well made. Shapely Fidus is just fantastic. The animation of their whole body hand stabbing their sword into the floor is just so good. Its disturbing and gives it a sense of power, a natural way to tell the player "this shit gonna hurt". Makes my brain worms dance happily.
the shapely fidus is geniunely one of my favorite fights in any game, even if it isnt very challenging, its so breakneck pace while still being manageable, and gets you to truly learn the bosses moves which few games manage to do as well as its done in this fight.
@@bignosh Agreed. Not to mention the epic music, especially in the second countdown phase. One of the best boss fights ever.
Silk song teases us so..
Shame that i was never able to get into Hollow Knight.
@@IT.93 same. I really Respect what they made, I think it deserves the love it gets, but I couldn't get into it. Got maybe half way through and never picked it back up. Which is weird because I love metroidvanias and platformers, it's my favorite genre. But I just couldn't get excited about playing hollow knight
@@leftovernoise im NOT a metroidvania fan and i completed hollow knight 124% in like 53 hours in a single week. It possessed me
The radio silence and delays are not a sign of a healthy production cycle... just saying
@@xaikken Yeah idk, on paper it should be directly up my alley, holding my cup of tea. I wish I did, it seems like an incredibly well made experience. I just didn't vibe with it.
A year later and I finally got to play Grime because it came to console. It was a lot more polished than I thought it would be based on this video and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it. A big thing is that fast travel is unlocked from a different boss now with the Colors of Rot update so you can actually get it at a point where it’s much more useful!
Yeah this video left me with a distinct bad taste about this game when i originially watched it, but i played it recently and really enjoyed it. Another sequel for the wishlist!
A good example of amazing artwork and style in a game that I love the look of, but can't ever see myself having the focus to play. Thanks!
That was basically hollow knight for me, even with the transportation I kept getting lost and stuck in certain parts where it felt like a waste of time and a chore 70% of the time. I'd still recommend it to others if they have the time to get into it.
@@thiscity3664 Thought I was the only one who thought hollow knight was just a giant chore. The amount of backtracking and rehashed boss fights just to get an ending that isn't underwhelming is so ridiculous. White palace sucked too
@@bevvvy1374 to me, the real turn off was how plataform heavy it was, reminded me of guacamelee and ori, both games with too much plataforming for my taste.
its kinda ironic if you asked me my favorite genre a decade or so ago, i would point to metroidvanias, now, i pretty much despise the genre. took me long enough to realize what i like isnt metroidvanias, but igavanias. since those are far less plataformers, and more 2d souls games focused on combat and exploration and without the stamina/lack of maps/brutal damage.
@@thiscity3664
Finally somebody who shares my opinion.
The final performance is a masterpiece, a very creative boss fight
Started it a couple days ago, love it and the focus on the absorb mechanic
I actually really enjoyed the platforming in this game, especially the challenges at the end. Everything linked together quite nicely and it was pretty challenging all things considered.
It's no White Palace or Path of Pain but it's a little gem of it's own.
Edit: The Pale Sky was my favorite of the platforming sections.
Update: Path of pain is now up.
@@qwormuli77 Still easier than actual Path of Pain.
@@wilczus222 Bit of a wash, IMHO.
watching this man dodge parryable attacks in the game where parrying is your strongest ability hurts me so much
I had no idea this game existed, got intrigued as I watched, and was hooked once I heard that final performance banger. Well done this is the 4th game you've made me buy.
GRIME is one of the best indie games of the year so far. Great job.
It is such a highlight to my day whenever I see you post. You have gotten me through some tough times and thank you so much for what you do.
Hang in there Berserker. Whatever you are going through, many of us are going through the same. Just know your pain isn't isolated, reach out to any family or friends you know because they really do care, as do most content creators since they are human too.
@@terreausore2435 He hearted the comment, so not only are you stupid you are also wrong.
@@terreausore2435 Fun Fact: They didn't say he did. They thanked them for making content they enjoy, you goober.
Two rock people getting it on, in the galaxy.
**Grime**
Welp i know someones sold
I loved this game, didn't realize the alternate endings were a thing though! I'm gonna have to look up an ending guide now.
I played Grime on release and it is so good.
Stoked for this! I enjoyed the platforming in this game, but it is a bit janky at times. Most of all, it had unique art and atmosphere.
I felt like the platforming was executed very well. There is a clear way to traverse but it still takes skill to pull off. I didn't realize you could dash off ladders or ledges and then get another dash once u air-jump until a friend suggested I try it. That lad saved my life.
One of the best metroidvanias Ive ever played, such a good game. So many little details in the game. Even mechanics that they never tell you about but if you figure them out you can access new areas. Love that kind of stuff. Honestly right up there with Hollow Knight and Axiom verge.
Ironically, my favorite part of the game were the last ~3 areas where there were no enemies except bosses, and it was just about platforming, observing the beautiful scenery and listening to the amazing music. I feel like presentation and boss fights is what this game is really great at. The combat outside of the bosses (and as a result, the exploration in most areas) felt very frustrating to me.
For the final boss, when the two balls show, go to the side then dash to the center when the balls are up and pull the yellow one, it will hit the boss and you can attack as well. As for the shower, that's probably the best time to do massive damage, just pick the daggers as they have a 4 hit air combo and just stay in the middle pulling yourself up and combo twice
I wonder if Indeimaus is willing to play Iron tails when it comes out, a rat Metroidvania with a hint of dark souls and hollow knight game play, oh it's also narrated by Geralt of Rivia.
I tried the kinship challenge only to immediately give up when I realized I don't even have the game
Finally watched this. Had to put it off since this was a game I wanted to play myself (same with quite a few of your metroidvania month videos). I really really liked it! It might be my favourite new metroidvania game. I loved the world, the style, the combat was fun and the soundtrack was fiiiine as hell. Only thing that took some getting used to was the weirdly magnetic ladders.
sometimes i rly hope, that indeimaus realizes that he's one of the best entertainment youtubers out there
Grime is actually my favourite Metroidvania since Blasphemous, to be honest. There is the big issue with how there's so many mechanics that people don't find out about that the game could really use to tell them to the player, since it can be an extremely fluid game if you know what you're doing, but I believe the game development are working on that very thing. There's also the lesser issue of balancing out the weapons since strength weapons are so detrimentally slow, even for their damage. But as someone who quite enjoys the platforming puzzles in metroidvanias, I really enjoy it. It's definitely not a game for those lacking in patience, though, as the game is quite time consuming and requires plenty of waiting and not going too fast [which can really fuck you up with some of the platform puzzles], but the game can be incredibly satisfying if you experiment enough to figure out all the things you can do. It's not flawless, but by god can it be fun.
I feel exactly the same, I loved the shit out of this game
You can say that again xD It took me dying 40 times to Misbegoten Amalgam (and watching a guide) to figure out you can actually *pull* bosses. The whole "dodge to remove burning spear" thing he mentioned? Yeah, finished the game without knowing its a thing . Considering I dont care much about this type of atmosphere Im actually mostly neutral tbh (Liked some parts and others felt like a huge chore)
Agreed. Game can be so fluid and the art direction and world building is gorgeous.
I just wished they would give the warp ability you get at the final boss way earlier, as it is such a pain not being able to do that and having to use the neverpasses all the time but still having to walk half a mile to get to where you want to be
They changed it and now you can get it pretty early
That was amazing, the visuals are some of the best I've seen in a video game. Thanks for showing this game to us Indei!
finally after finding your channel and speedrunning all of your videos over the weekend I can watch some new content. LETS GOOO
Caveman build is always a go to for me in most games lol
Everyone go play the Game! It is awesome, and the devs are doing so much work with post launch updates^^
Also you can parry quite a lot of the projectiles Indeimaus does not parry here :D
He mostly doesn't pull the bosses either . Ignoring the pull makes half the bosses twice as hard (Misbegotten Amalgam with no pulls is freaking rough).
Yeah surprised he did the Mothers fight without parrying the projectiles. Saves you so much stamina (I know it's force bc physics reference but I can't not call it stamina) and the heal bits you get from the glowing projectiles are critical. Sure not the hardest fight but I had trouble with force management until I started doing that.
just beat this game 30 mins ago and came back to finish the video. really enjoyed this game a lot. it's got quite a bit of jank and a lot of jumping puzzles but the boss fights and world building are top notch
After playing the game now, I can say they have made huge improvements from the base game, you should really check it out again after they release their final DLC, it hasn't been a painful experience for me but one of the best Metroidvanias I played.
PS: As you said yourself, it was so painful to watch you do the full game with the starter weapon, mainly because its one of the worst ones in terms of scaling x)
Thanks for reminding me of this game. It's really gorgeous and the themes and character designs are so cool and trippy. I figured it was probably one of those games I'd rather watch then rage and play. Thanks again for getting me into playing enders lillies which was an amazing game that I loved playing and was able to platinum
Last boss is actually an MMO raid boss lmao , with an add phase and everything
I love this game.
It is like everyone i want in a game, and I never thought i could like something more than ruiner.
I actually really loved this game, just played it on epic (was free) and they improved the QoL a lot (like the slow elevator). Watching your video on it now is really nice :)
I understand RPGs are way too long for this format but everytime I hear some FFIX music in your videos I want to see you play the game.
From the thumbnail I thought this was Axiom Verge 2. Can’t wait to see what this is
I thought you'd like it more, it was a blast for me :D I'd still recommend everyone to play it (atleast try it out), even if you are not a masochist xD
Same. It is a more difficult game that usual, for sure, but it wasn't THAT bad for me.
Finished the game with all bosses -1 (missed the dear ) .Im not sure myself to be honest . I liked some of the fights but the atmosphere wasnt really my thing. For people that actually like it the game is great though. Im just not a fun of Soulslike games and its obviously was inspired (in part at least).
This game is waaayyyy easier than hollow knight. I really don't understand the frustrations so many people have.
I absolutely adored this game. Been a while since a game took my attention so thoroughly. And man I was even getting chills in the later half of the game.
@@xMagnificuSx Game isn't hard when you know all mechanics (and those arent explained properly) . Missing even one makes a game harder times 10 . I didn't know you can pull bosses and died to Misbegotten Amalgam 40 times . Got him forth try when I came back knowing what to do
Just wanted to let you know my kids love your voice work on Bluey. Keep up the good work.
It went well, once you got the absorb mechanic down, it's fine. Though by the time you get it down to a T, you have enough traits that allow you to heal so much. Great story, great action and set pieces. The true ending really explains well what you are, and what your existence is all about. Sure you understand earlier, but the scale of it is only by the end.
Loved it so much I actually 100% it
I friggen loved Grime! It took a little while for me to really get into the gameplay... But the atmosphere and music had me from the word go. Once I hit the Vulture, I found the sweetspot, and it became one of the best games I've played in a long time... The platforming was really well made in my opinion. I don't play a lot of platformers, but this one felt like quality, and I didn't have much trouble with it.
The platforming was a lot, and I mean *a lot,* jankier on release. They've been doing a really good job patching not only the mechanics and balance, but the controls of the game. Only the ladders remained a tad buggy and inconsistent the last I played it (before the armor stat update). After the first update those pull mechanics were buttery smooth and a joy to use.
...Damn, I wanna do a new playthrough now.
Just finished Grime, such and amazing game. Loved the challenge.
Also the game just got an update were they fix some issues with the clunky platforming.
That was a surrealist's fever dream and I loved it.
It's interesting that you describe the platforming as clunky. I thought the controls were so tight that the platforming was no problem. And to be honest? This game never got as bad as white palace from HK. At least in this game the in the big platforming story section they give you infinite health.
I thought the delay on the double jump felt like crap but otherwise the platforming was fine. The combat mechanics are great though. Not sure I've played a metroidvania with better bosses.
I've always felt that the White Palace was not much of an issue when I played Hollow Knight. But then I hated moving the tiniest bit in Momodora, I think it's a case of different strokes for different folks.
@@EpixGaminginc I don't think the white palace is too bad either, but it certainly is harder than any platforming challenge in Grime.
The only clunkiness I noticed for the most part was when it won't let you slide down ladders, when you get stuck in a wall because of a dash, or when it won't let you drop down through a platform. Although the most common problems were never a big deal to fix.
White palace wasn’t even that bad unless you took the path of pain… worst 3 hours of my fucking life
thank you for your sacrifice mate it was MEGA POG!
Oh! I was so confused by the Kinship Ending achievement because I did not have that achievement but your ending was exactly the same as mine.. I forgot that when it first came out, achievements were bugged and if we wanted the achievement we had to go back to the top and I just forgot about it but you reminded me so thanks~ lol I have no idea how you go about it still though~ xD
Hard to choose a favorite personally! I like them all for various reasons but I'd probably choose Ender Lilies, I really enjoyed the story in that one and I'm not usually a story person~
I have been watching Indei for a while now and I was curious how long I've been subbed, turns out this was the FIRST channel I subbed to. 5 years ago.
Grime is easily the most unique Soulsvania I’ve seen in a while. Has its rough patches, but its setting and mechanics seem like a massive breath of fresh air.
That said, the weeb pixel one last episode was surprisingly good too.
Just played an updated version of GRIME and it's 10x better then the first one. A lot of areas, weapons, bosses, NG+ stuff. These guys really WORKED!
"heeeee has another full healthbar"
I felt this, a lot
the voiceover when dying is what earned you a subscription, i'm glad the youtube algorythm recomended tormented souls previously :D
23:06 I actually hate when games do this. New abilities should feel like a gift, not like a chore.
Love it! Keep it up indiemouse, and hopefully you're well rested for the next grind, and would love to see you tackle the most motridvania, super mestroid!
I love the style of this game, they arent afraid to experiment a bit and those backgrounds are GORGEOUS.
Unfortunately I fucking hate platforms, even Hollow Knight and Blasphemous makes me want to get the noose ready
Same. With a few exceptions, usually older 2D games like Castlevania or the GBA Metroids.
Even the "Classics" like Banjo Kazooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day and SM64 make me yearn for the sweet release of death.
HUGE mood. So many metroidvanias have beautiful art and music, but I can't play them b/c I can't stand platforming.
To be fair, walking through a level in a straight line would get old pretty quickly. lol
@@Blacksadify dying on the same laser or failing thesame puzzle gets old quicker
@@vazazell5967 That's true. At that point, I'd have to say that someone should understand that maybe not all games are for them, which is okay. If you're terrible at platformers and don't enjoy them, they shouldn't change platformers to accommodate that type of person. The person should just choose a different type of game.
27:32 lol that is amazingly nostalgic. At first I was like "holy shit I remember that" then I had to look it up so I could keep hearing it.
Thank you inde for this birthday present of a video, I turn 24 today and am begrudgingly still alive... made it through another year... again
Happy birthday!
Congrats! Keep on keeping on bro
1. Skip to the Shidra fight.
2. Dude doesn't pull the yellow ball.
3. He doesn't parry projectiles.
Ok, now I get why Grime destroyed him.
These Metroidvanias are some of the most beautiful games I've seen and are simply spectacular to witness.
I remember the rock people sexy times trailer from a few months ago… glad to see it’s a cool looking Metroidvania. Another one to add to the backlog.
Another one!
I just started the video and I'm surprised about how you are talking about it. It isn't easy, but it isn't that hard either
the yellow stone from shidra can be grapped and smashing on the boss ,for extra dmg ^^...you can heal with his adds , with the right loadout of your hunter traits (25% hp with your parries ,extra breath ,stuff like that )
um actually, it's pronounced amalgam, not amalgam.
oh yes, thank you
I usually don’t play this genre, but it’s become one of my favourites of all time. I main the Bow Daggers because Fast and Range. As you get more abilities, the platforming becomes smoother and more complex and the boss fights are so hard but rewarding! I love parry mechanics in general as well.
"This game is leaning more into the Souls-like than the Metroids or the Castlevanias"
Interesting thing to say, because for a genre called Metroidvania, there sure aren't many games actually referencing Castlevania. They all call Metroid or Dark Souls their inspirations, but never Castlevania.
Because Castlevania was copying Metroid when they shifted to that format. "Metroidvania" was originally a term mocking them for doing so, kind of like when people say "Bayformers".
@@stevethepocket Honestly they should just shift to Metroid-like, or go with the more generic search action name. Too bad Metroidvania is so rooted by now.
I loved Grime and I can't wait to play more of it hope it gets dlc in the future game is super unique and fun
I appreciate your usage of the crossing the knoll theme of FFIX when talking about the map.
maus. using superfast jellyfish during the merch plug was too meta for me. the layers of thought and comedy that goes into your work :pray:
I just discovered this channel today and I can’t describe how happy I am to have his entire library available for a binge watch. I love it.
"I know all his moves i just have to execute this perfectly" is exactly what I said after my 15th death to Grimm in hollow knight
ROCK PEOPLE MAKING UP IN THE GALAXY
Me: Man...how humanity has changed....
I love that superfast jellyfish was playing in the background of the add
I loved playing this game so much! The soundtrack alone is just...
For shidra you can pull the yellow balls back to him for big damage, and also those skyward shooting things after certain attacks can be sent back to him.
Thanks for suffering through this game for us. An amazing video as always, Indeimaus!
Dude... one of the BEST/ENTERTAINING REVIEWS/WALKTHROUGHS I've ever experienced.. lmao!!! I'm gonna watch it again... eventually.
I'm very happy that a big RUclipsr like you is giving visibility to this little gem.
I think I got the game because of you playing it, even though I was not interested in it because it seemed way too tough for me at the time. But I like the Art style and am slowly getting better at fighting and platforming. It was an exhausting journey so far, but I love the visuals and am way to invested to drop out now. The final Boss will probably take me days but I will suffer through that as well. Just glad to know it is meant to be that difficult and can still be tremendously enjoyed regardless.
So turns out I had a much harder time than I should have because my computer wasn´t handling the game well. I fixed it and got the DLC, and it´s so good. Go all play it.
Considering how "grime" is this game I laughed my bloody ass off! You got a great sense of humor and this was a rocking video!
17:53 Guess he really threaded the needle right there :D
Aight, I know this vid was a month ago but game recommendation time. Tails of Iron... feel like this one was made specifically for Indeimaus. Good ol' "Souls-like"
Gonna miss Metroidvania month, but I'm also keen for whatever comes next.
Doing fine work out there dude.
Just found this video and your channel. Grime has had two free expansions since you last played. They fixed a LOT of the clunkiness and the playthrough is about 30% longer and there's a NG+ hard mode where you start with all your abilities. Makes it a ton of fun to replay. I would love to see if you have it another shot after the final expansion coming up in the near future which should add one or two last sections to finally complete this saga before the sequel. It had become one of my all time favorite games after my painful initial playthrough was similar to yours :-)
Indie, you are a legend. Youre capacity to grind through these kinds of games is amazing, you do it so I dont have to.
17:52 indei sounds like that sonic animation where he says “no this isn’t happening”
Who needs sleep when you can replace it with work, GFUEL and Super Fast Jellyfish in the background.
They're still making good QoL updates. One patch improved fast travel, removed missables, etc. Another patch just released today, now including hyper armor for heavy attacks.
Bite the controller, you ask?
Let’s just say, my controller looks like I lent it to my 6th grade science partner, Timothy, and forgot until he was asked to sign my yearbook.
Dude, your videos are really well made and I love your sense of humour. Subscribed!
i loved the platforming in this game actually. i thought it was the perfect level of stress then relief and accomplishment.
i REALLY appreciate the Enter the Gungeon music at 3:51
it give me the good fuzzies
