Why on Deck

MIO is one of those metroidvanias that came out of nowhere and immediately had people calling it one of the best in the genre. You play as an android exploring this gorgeous, overgrown technological ark, and the hand-drawn art pops on the Deck’s screen in a way that screenshots don’t quite capture. The exploration loop (find ability, unlock new area, discover secret) is perfectly suited to handheld sessions, and the controls are tight enough for the precision platforming and Souls-like combat. Under 3k reviews and barely anyone’s talking about it yet. Get in early.
