I put together 16 maps for Metroidvania games this year, which is a not-insignificant number of games and definitely not an insignificant number of hours of gameplay and work. In this video, I take a tour of the year, look at the games mapped, and review both the maps made AND the games in my typical longform, rambling, unscripted way.
