Fortunately, it'll probably be another forgettable mid af metroidvania with a really terrible theme
The only metroidvanias I've really enjoyed in the last decade have been Celeste, Ori and Momodora: Reverie under the Moonlight.
Everything else has been extremely mid, and it's pretty difficult to look at Celeste and Ori and see them purely as metroidvanias when their primary things is mainly the platforming.
I think every person who likes metroidvanias maybe has like, 2-4 at most that they actually seriously liked from the big metroidvania glut of the past however many years. Hollow Knight and Metroid Dread are the only ones I've gone back and replayed after my first runthroughs, so those are the good-good ones to me.
I did not like Hollow Knight unfortunately. Something just does not click for me with it. I can tell it's a well made game but ehhhh it just fails to keep my attention.
The momodora dev did a 3d one after reverie and that was kinda mid too. They're going back to 2d with their new game though so I'm kinda hopeful it will be good.
All in all, neither good nor evil has anything to do with ethnicity or background. Therefore, the cultures depicted in Plus Ultra: Legado are not portrayed in those terms. The “bad guys” are those who betray their own people and those whose brutality is absolutely inexcusable. You might say predatory opportunists, cowardice, and racism are the real enemies.
Just unimpressive from what I see so far. You play as a Spaniard trying to apprehend Cortes. That's accurate. Cortes did illegally set sail from Cuba to Mesoamerica. But in the game it seems like he's already in Tenochtitlan. I didn't think he was in hot water with the Spanish authorities anymore at that time? Correct me if I'm wrong. Also, Montezuma did not ally with Cortes. He was kidnapped and put under house arrest. 🤦
excuse me this game can't be racist, there's a playable female protagonist with brown skin
*only shown for 5 seconds of play time
If the protagonist really was the embodiment of justice and innocence he would side with the natives and lead them in a war against the conquistadors.
