Metroidvanias are everywhere these days, but if you're looking for a rock-solid fusion of that genre with Souls-like gameplay, then you can grab a preorder for the upcoming physical release of The Last Faith. While the game was released last year as a digital-only title for $28--you can get it for $21 at Fanatical--anyone looking to keep a physical collection can get their hands on a standard and special-edition release next month.
Essentially a retro-styled, side-scrolling Bloodborne, The Last Faith has a Metascore of 72 on GameSpot's sister site Metacritic. A challenging adventure with a dark design that pays homage to the games that inspired it, The Last Faith doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it's still a solid mix-tape of action-packed fun. It has a non-linear world to explore, cool weapons to collect, and moody pixel art. If you are a Castlevania fan or enjoyed the Blasphemous series, The Last Faith is worth checking out.
