From a gorgeous hand-drawn platformer to a steampunk action-adventure, 5 new Metroidvanias releasing over the next 3 days on Steam make this an excellent week

I hope you like Metroidvanias because this week, Steam is absolutely bursting at the seams with new ones threatening to steal all of our free time. Seriously, it's at the point that it will be difficult to decide which one to play first.

Cast your gaze over to Metroidvania.GG's home page, and what do you see? Under the 'coming soon' section, there's not one, not two, but five upcoming Metroidvania and Metroidvania-inspired titles listed – three of which are launching today, with the next two coming tomorrow and the day after. Good luck keeping up with all of those, huh?
