Figured like this was a good place to roll around with this list that I've been thinking about: All Metroidvanias I've played, ranked:
I came across the trailer for Laika: Through the Blood the other day and have been meaning to ask what someone like you who's a fan of these types of games thinks about it. I generally don't play these kinds of games, but it seems somewhat unique from an outsider's perspective. I also just realized after skimming through its Steam store page description that it's being teased as the first "Motorvania."
I've heard of it, but I'm personally not a big fan of the overly gimmicky stuff (that's why Roku is so low on my list). If it is something that interests you, though, you should check it out. The people that have played it
do seem to like it. If I get it as part of a Humble Bundle or something I'm sure I'd check it out eventually.
