Disney Illusion Island is the Metroidvania I Never Had
<p><strong>Yes, you read the title correctly,</strong> but before you start throwing Koopa Shells or ACME anvils at me, let me explain.</p>
<p>I’ve dabbled with some of the other great Metroidvanias of our time, but as much as I loved the idea of sinking my time into these types of games, they just never <em>grabbed</em> me.</p>
<p><strong>Axiom Verge, Hollow Knight, Ori and the Blind Forest, Steamworld Dig,</strong> and <strong>Xeodrifter</strong> held my attention for short bursts, but I’d always find myself chomping at the bit to play the more high-budget AAA titles.</p>
<p>I do recall <strong>Dead Cells</strong> getting its hooks into me. If you haven’t played that game, I highly recommend it. But other than that, Metroidvanias have comfortably held their place in the least-played category.</p>
<p>And before you ask, the answer is no. I haven’t played any of the <strong>Metroid</strong> or <strong>Castlevania</strong> games.</p>
<p>What can I say? I’m <strong>Blasphemous</strong> (which is another excellent series in the beloved Metroidvania sub-genre).</p>
