Critic Reviews
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night review
Bloodstained: ROTN faithfully recreates the metroidvania experience of the 2000s—a feast for fans of a very specific experience; a bit too old-fashioned for anyone else.

Impressive efforts with a few noticeable problems holding them back. Won't astound everyone, but is worth your time and cash.
