#1 (2024-03-21) #RebelTransmute

So this #Metroidvania's been out for a week and a half and, while I didn't have much free weekend time, I've played 32h in the evenings after work.

Moon Mikono, space scrapper, searches for her mom after a rebellion against an oppressive colonizer corporation goes wrong. Crashing on the planet, Moon is later woken up by an artificial intelligence and sets off to explore a world that is now inhabited only by machines and monsters.

The save slot screen, with three slots in total and one currently used. Finished the story last night, after 2 AM (oops), with 98% completion rate, and nabbed the remaining 2 after work today. The save slot shows me at 100% with 30 hours and 8 minutes played, but Steam told me I actually have 32 hours played.
Moon and her mother, Wendy -- both black women -- in a spaceship with a bit of narration focusing on the horrors of capitalism. "But if you know the horrors Foray enacts, know the true cost of their stock-holder fueled, ever expanding stranglehold on..."
Moon encountering a legally distinct, blonde space hunter named Samara Sun. She's clad in a blue armor and holding her red helmet with its green visor. The environment is mix of rock with glowing, lava-like pattern, and man-made metallic floors and walls. Also features a destructible wall made of purple bubbles, which Metroid and Axiom Verge players will be familiar with. Samara Sun says: "Don't get me wrong, it's not just about the money. I'm here to save the galaxy, the whole planet federation. But yeah, I negotiated a good pay."
