Axiom Verge, the spiritual successor to Metroid 3 now released on Steam!
After the huge success and fanbase that started growing on PS4, the developers decided to port it to the PC, which is in my eyes a very smart step.

Lets talk about the game for a minute. (My opinion on about 60+ hours on PS4)

Axiom Verge is a exploration-adventureish game similiar to Metroid games, or how alot of people call those type of games, Metroidvania.
You wake up in a incubator egg, not knowing where you are, and all you get is a weapon to defend yourself.
Explore, collect, fight and die in this brilliant gem, until you see the ending screen after about 8-12 hours depending on how well you do (I honestly took 18 hours on my first attempt back on PS4), and you probably want more.
Why?

For once, it is very rewarding getting all the weapons, seeing all the notes and reading them to learn more about the story and find the secret areas, that are RANDOMLY placed every time you start a new game and the areas itself are randomized too.
Upgrades you find will not count towards the item collection rate so they are optional, but weapons and upgrades you can get there are neat aswell.

I would give this game easily 94%.
Why not more?
Because there are minor things that aren't so well done.
For instance some mechanics in the game (not spoiling for you) are weird to perform (double forward for instance), which could've been done better on a seperate button.
Also the german translation is horrible, this should not concern most of you but for me it is a minor flaw.

I suggest all of you grab it and play instantly, its well worth it!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED GAME!
