I picked up Axiom Verge since it's 30% off. It's alright. I like it better now that I have a handful of new toys. In the beginning it felt very simple.
Picked it up at that sale too.
Not really familiar with the Metroidvania genre. I only ever played the first Metroid Prime over a decade and more ago. And an indie title on Steam called Rex Rocket. That one I haven't finished, because it's quite difficult. But man, the music fucking rocked in that game
Anyway, I like Axiom Verge so far, though I could see me getting bothered by too much backtracking. But for now it's engaging enough, because there's always new gear to try out and different localities to explore. And yeah, the music IS great! I don't think I'm too far into the game yet though (think I beat 3 enemy bosses so far).
Did he really do this all by himself? The ost too?
