Can't find any reviews, but I'm curious. Looks like it could be good.

Explore the haunting, dreamlike fantasy world of BEFORE I GO, a punishing Metroidvania where you embody the innocence of an inner child on an allegorical odyssey towards death acceptance. The end is inevitable, but will you brave the journey?

Oh I have been looking for another Metroidvania that leans into the "Metroid" side of the genre over the Castlevania, and more recently Hollow Knight/Silksong, side of the genre.

Don't get me wrong, melee combat and stuff is great but the genre today is so oversaturated with it.

I want my "sci-fi, shooty-shooty combat with more focus on precision platforming and movement" Metroidvanias too.

Have you played Axiom Verge?

Yup. One and Two.

Those were a fantastic love letter to old school Metroid.

They really were. I rarely bother 100%-ing games these days but I did for those.

Rebel Transmute is also a great title.

Its still got Melee combat but FIST is pretty good and more futuristic.

Played it already. A bit clunky but I enjoyed it. Looking forward to the Zoopunk follow up coming out.
