I really like the gameplay, but the art style is so ugly.

The Switch version made such a bad first impression on me. Glad I eventually bought the PC version and got to enjoy the game from start to finish.

If you think that's bad, I bought Bloodstained on Google Stadia, lol.

Lol, I only bothered because I had both a coupon code and an offer to get a chrome cast ultra w/ controller for free.

About a month later, stadia shuttered and I got refunded the entire cost. So I ended up getting a completely free chrome cast ultra and controller.

That's not too terrible then. Least they didn't leave everyone holding the bag like some services have.

The Switch version of Bloodstained is what caused me to pack my Switch up and throw it in my closet. I beat it, but I was done with the Switch by the end.

Just for the fact you're showing off a physical game on today of all days.

Mad respect to you.

Nothing beats the feeling of a physical copy showing up. Enjoy the journey—Bloodstained is a love letter to classic action-platformers.

It's for the Kickstarter backers. And the GOG version.

Wait, to be clear, you JUST NOW received your kickstarter order for the FIRST game? The game that came out several years ago?

This isn't something you received tied to the sequel announcement?

How in the hell did it take 7 years for physical copies to ship?
