It's funny, I was kvetching to Aura the other day about how combat-heavy a lot of current metroidvania type games are, how they focus on the part of the game I find the least interesting or rewarding. And then another friend introduced me to Bobo the Cat and oh. Oh, it's a whole exploration game about traversal and weird mechanics and also no combat at all, Soulslike or otherwise. This is made for me.

in reply to @dog's post:
That sounds perfect. I recently played the new prince of Persia and loved the traversal mechanics, but about 3 hours in I was getting burned out on all the fighting so I dropped all the combat difficulty as low as it could go and ended up having a much better time with it.
same kvetch. i've dipped on so many recent metroidvanias because they want me to learn a parry system.
If it's not parries, it's dodge rolls. I really don't get what it's supposed to contribute to the game, other than a general sense of "I liked Dark Souls"
