EB: After two extended play sessions with Bloodstained my appreciation for it still remains high. It definitely has a classic side-scroller feel with some modern visual polish, and the gameplay already feels very tight and refined. The world is interesting and full of secrets to explore, and the story is just Anime-ish enough to be bonkers but intriguing. One can only hope that it hits retail sooner than later, because IGA definitely has another winner on his hands.
