Best Zeldalike to wait for Mina ?

I just finished Pipistrello and I'm looking for another S-tier Zeldalike to dive into until May 29th

Already played :

Death's Door ( S-tier)

Crypt Custodian ( S-tier)

Mini shoot (S-tier)

Unsighted (A+ tier)

I was rather impressed with the level of quality and polish they poured into Pipistrello, and I have great expectations for Mina, so hit me up with your favourites that could be mine !

Spoiler-Free Preview Roundup

Just a moment ago the preview embargo lifted and critics were able to talk about their experience with the first 6-8 hours of the game. These previews show quite a lot of the game, so if you want to stay spoiler-free I would advise against watching them.

Here's a brief summary of everyone's overall thoughts about the game:

  • The game is very difficult.
  • The world and level design is extremely intricate and deceptively ambitious, much more so than the demo let on. Exploration is a massive highlight.
  • There is a vast variety of weapons, sidearms, and trinkets which are all fun to experiment with.
  • There are many, many surprises whether it be NPCs, collectibles, quests, secret bosses, etc.
  • The game is very reminiscent of soulsborne games in much more ways than just the spark you lose upon death.
  • There are an insane amount of accessibility options (over 100!), however some of them disable achievements.

Overall, the previews are very positive. Full reviews are coming May 27. (2 days before release)

Why are people worried about YCG going out of business? Do they really believe Mina will sell less than 200k copies?

Silksong, Deltarune, STS2, Heroes of Might and Magic, Hades 2 and Mewgenics have all sold over 200k. Why not Mina?

PS5 or Switch?

I'm debating between the two versions for my survey. Anyone know if the PS5 version will leverage the power of the system? Maybe it won't matter much for the game? If not, the portability of the Switch version is appealing.

In a recent interview, Alec Faulker stated that some of the characters in the game were too sexy, and had to be dialed back, but refused to elaborate on which ones. Who do we think he was referring to?

Obviously I'm not being serious, but he DID say this, so I figured it should be discussed lmao

People always mention Bloodborne and Zelda ALA but forget about

But forget about Gremlins 2: The New Batch for NES. The devs mentioned in there development videos a few years ago that this was the main inspiration, but for some reason people barely mention it

Anyone else here because the game gives big bloodborne vibes?

I tried out the demo on Switch 2 because it was touted as a GBC Zeldalike but as I played it felt like a demade bloodborne with an adorable mouse as a protag.

I probably missed something, but can you restore vials?

I know in Souls games you can't except at a save point, except this game doesn't restore them when I hit the save point, only when I die. I'm certain I missed something, though.
