Though there has been some funny replies, this one is the correct one.
So is the new Strider a Metroidvania?
And hot damn that new Fatal Frame looks amazing. Killer app IMO.
What is the correct term for a game like Shadow Complex or Strider or Guacamelee? Action exploration skill unlock traversal game? I don't like the term Metroidvania, but it exists in the core vocabulary for retro gamers now, so I think we have to live with it.
