What Video Games Are You Playing? June 13, 2015

Super Metroid has its run last week, and more recent HH moments have been spent revisiting the other have of "Metroidvania," by way of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

It's brought on a new appreciation for good sprite artwork, and that appreciation has led to harder eyerolling when assclowns who don't know What It Is gripe about the Bloodstained thing. I've seen idiots claiming that it should have been a free browser game. Are we still, in 2015, this generally uninformed about how game development works?
