Just finished Alma’s Awakening on PC. It seems like a classic NES Metroidvania game. While I’m not a Metroidvania fan, I hate backtracking and losing out on items because I don’t have the skills to get things, it makes this approachable because of teleports. Beautiful pixel graphics, controls are floaty but just like original NES games. It’s pretty rough, but also has a mode to help those folks, like me, that don’t have the time for the hardcore stuff. Even with accessibility enabled it’s still pretty tough and a few times I quit and walked away for a bit, but it’s just so lovely I had to keep coming back and finish it. Wonderful game if you enjoy classic NES style games.

Anyone recommend any other classic NES style games?
