(I’ve only ever done this for one game – Phantasy Star 2. (I’ve heard this one spoken about a lot of other games, so it didn’t deter me anywhere near as much as it should have.) Message 1: This game is demanding, challenging, and ultimately rewarding. I think the best way to describe La Mulana (and to shoo away both the people who would want to go in blind, and the people who really shouldn’t be buying this) is that there’s a burgeoning online cult following for this game, and they’re very particular about the messages they send to new fans. It demands your dedication, whether through its challenging combat, demanding platforming or… puzzles. It’s a rabbit hole more complex and fiendish than anything else in its genre. As I did, I thought to myself “I’ve played a bunch of Metroidvanias before, what harm could one more do?” I’ve never been more satisfied, and more infuriated, to be wrong. I was only vaguely familiar with La Mulana when I first put on my Indiana Jones fedora and dived into the self-proclaimed Archaeological Ruin Exploration Action Game.
