So it's worth checking out now for someone who thought the game sucked when it first released?
I loved Salt and Sanctuary but every other game that has tried combining metroidvania and souls has been a complete disappointment.
I’ll spare you 10,000 words on the whole Souls thing but also agree with Dandai . It isn’t S&S good but it is also different. I never played the original incarnation of this but as a newcomer have been pleased. I probably bought every game in the Metroidvania category on Steam at this point
