Axiom Verge (Switch)
This is basically Metroid for the Switch, combining the best of the old school (2D gameplay, pixelated graphics, great music) with the best of modern games (umm... big explosions?). There's one particular sound effect that sounds just like Defender. The music is really sensational and there are actually a lot of original elements in this. So far I really like it.

I have been on the fence about this game. On one hand I hear it is great and on the other I hear it a confusing mess filled with monotonous back tracking. Make that review happen!

I bought this game for PS4, but haven't had a chance to play it yet. I bought it because I like games like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and was hoping this might have similarities. Looking forward to your take.

So far this game is so good I can't believe it.

The only bad thing I can say about this is that I wish I had a controller with a proper d-pad.

Figures that after I order a Pro Controller I finish the game before it arrives!

Looking forward to this review. While I already bought the game, I haven't had a chance to play it yet. It'll probably be awhile before I do, unless your review inspires me to bump it ahead of my current backlog.
Even though you've completed the game, I hope that you'll go back and play a little bit with the Pro Controller. I think it's important to confirm if the controller was actually the issue, or if the game itself is the problem.

Just re-played the final boss with the pro controller, and boy what a difference it made!
I will post the review this weekend.
