Nothing, really. :C

The Witchet 3: Blood and Wine. The biggest DLC i have ever played.

Rythm Heaven Megamix and Zelda.

Salt and Sanctuary. Bet no one ever played it here except me.

The developers were smart enough to say that they're making a "2D Souls" but actually make a Castlevania game. Because Dark Souls can also be loosely described as 3D castlevania. Though, to be fair, the RPG mechanics in S&N were very reminiscent of Dark Souls, and not the token stuff in Symphony of the Night.

It has good level design and eldrich horror. My favorite things I can find in any video game.

Yes! I forgot about Spiderman. Or rather, my intent with the discussion was surprise of current releases, so I didn't even think to include surprise announcements lol. Insomniac with Spiderman is such an odd combo but they're the undisputed king of independent studios so I have full faith that this game is going to kick ass. 

Forgive the double post, didn't notice this when I replied and I don't know if I edit the quote in that you'll see it as a direct reply on your end. 

What is the difficulty on Salt and Sanctuary? Like is it random Dark Souls esque difficulty or is it legitimately closer to Castlevania? Because the game looked beautiful but the Souls description personally turned me off because I just can't get into the Souls games. 

I was happily surprised by Pokken Tournament and Severed, both among the best games of the year.

I was unhappily surprised by Mutants in Manhattan, which is among Platinum's worst efforts.

Zero Time Dilemma.

I knew it was going to be good, but I'm surprised to see that it will probably be my GOTY.

It's been confirmed to be real by Sony

If you enjoy Castlevania, I'm sure you'll enjoy this game. My only criticism is that it doesn't have the music or a map. Maybe the ambience in Souls games worked to give them a little more atmosphere, but not in 2D imo.

As for the difficulty. Souls games are not as difficult as it's fanbase claims. Well... maybe they are but it depends on the player and how well they can remember the enemy patterns and how well they can manage their recourses, and players are punishment for their mistakes so they can learn for them. Even if you die, you still get a chance to get your Salt, souls or whatever back. 

You can always grind though. What's awesome about Salt and Sanctuary is that there's almost always a different branching path (secret or otherwise) you can go to, and you can skip some bosses altogether. If an area or a boss proved to be too difficult for you, then explore a different path and find more secrets on your way.
