Counter to this: Don’t cater to noobs.
Hollow Knight is one of the GOATs because it’s hard, but extremely fair. Learn the patterns, and any boss can be beaten hitless; explore properly, and any boss can be returned to rematch – after a death – from a bench in 1 to 2 screens (late game even has a teleport ability!).
A broken clock’s right twice a day. F- Robellus, but f- Felon Moskva more.
What’re we betting on, fellas?
Tweezers (Wii), fridge magnets (3DS), and aluminum foil (NSW1) are claimed already.
Pocket lint?
But, hear me out… PC LOAD A4 just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Backwards compatibility means lost opportunity to resell the same game.

3DS will come to a higher-cost monthly tier of NSO this generation, mark my words.
Pros: Higher res, better APU
Cons: Trackpads gone
Not buying a new controller until Valve Ibex releases. If one of mine breaks before then, it’ll be replaced by an inexpensive 8bitdo 2C.
Depends on your hardware. It mostly just works.
Tetris Effect is damned near perfect, IMO. You can turn off the visual effects / particle diarrhea, but the audio immersion & synchronization is «chef’s kiss», and it plays so well.
If you’ve not tried it once in VR, you need to.
It’ll be out before Silksong, anyhow.
Can’t say enough good things about the Soundcore Liberty 4 NCs I’ve got (Anker). Sound good, good ANC, good fit, decent battery life.
I was there, too, my dude!
FYI, there’s an No-VR mod for Alyx in case you want to play it, and lack of a headset is what’s stopping you.
I’m reading all the love for the original Steam controller; I didn’t get it. Maybe it’s because I’m a heavy dpad user, but I had one and sold it off reasonably quickly.
Here’s hoping the follow-up works better for me; the Deck is fantastic!
Literally my only complaint is the Amazon’s model. More svelte in my mind, less… «hand waves» that.
There’s 2 “styles” of Castlevania
ClassicVanias and MetroidVanias.
The former are your hard-as-balls platforming/knockback hack and slash (with a slight exception being Simon’s Quest, which is a precursor of sorts to the latter category). It’s these games that are in this bundle. Notable omission being Rondo of Blood (the best one).
The latter is still a platformer at its core, but with the ability gating / backtracking and large area map(s) common to the Metroid series. These games started with Symphony of the Night on PS1 and continued into the GBA/NDS era. These games are in the Castlevania Advance Collection and Dominus Collection.
Both styles are very good (who favors which style is personal). Do know that the Castlevania series’ music, globally, is GOATed.
Vicarious Visions’ team for that game needs the equivalent of an Academy Award for what they achieved (and no, I don’t mean Geoff Keighley’s flatulence).

Name them. I’d be happy to counter.
