F.I.S.T.: FORGED IN SHADOW TORCH

Ender Lilies isn’t the only great 2021 Metroidvania game that got overlooked by the masses. TiGames’ F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch offers something very different in that same genre with its dieselpunk aesthetic and furry characters, but it’s just as much of a blast. The core tenets of the genre – combat, exploration, progression, and world-building – all shine ridiculously bright during the length of the game, so if you have a hankering for a good Metroidvania game, F.I.S.T. should be one you give serious consideration to.
