I tried. I don't think this game is for me or that 2d metroidvania games are things I enjoy. I have tried over and over and I never get into games like this. I understand why other people praise it. I consider it technically excellent so I recommend it.

Bloodstained is a solid metroidvania. I feel it has a lot going for it that makes it a really appealing title on the surface. The visuals look fantastic with great sound design. The callbacks to classic castlevania games as well as references to other popular games adds a little fun and variety throughout the playthrough. There are tons of different playstyles and builds you can choose between allowing for a lot of replayability as well as experimentation throughout your playthrough. Albeit there are a few flaws with the game. Some areas leave you completely in the dark wondering how to progress (traversing water the first time, progressing the fight with gebel, etc.). The mobility of the game feels really stiff and unfun making backtracking more of a chore and makes the fights feel a bit stiff and janky. Lastly the voice acting is a mixed bag. Some of it is fantastic while other parts are really cheesy. While these flaws do hinder the experience they are mostly minor gripes that are easy to overlook and might not be a problem for some. Overall a great pick if you're a castlevania fan looking for something new.

Hands down my favorite Igavania. The constant acquisition of new abilities and the sane droprates that makes farming for them worth it makes the game much more enjoyable to go through. GOATed soundtrack too.

A extremely enjoyable metroidvania that got me into the genre, with wonderful combat and music and exploration, that left itself in my thoughts long after finishing it. 10/10 want the sequel

I love this game. This straight up feels & plays like a modern day Castlevania game. Even though the game has a brilliant artstyle and music, there are some problems which need to be addressed that doesn't make the game pixel perfect. - 1. The Bosses: You won't be having a fun & memorable time fighting these bosses as they suck @ss. The only engaging boss in the game is probably Zangetsu as he has some interesting and good movesets that you need to study, in order to defeat him. And for some reason, the big monsters are soo boring to fight as compared to human size bosses which is such a shame. Also, the BloodLess fight was the worst & unfair at times. -2. The Dlc Costume Integration: I think the developers missed a huge oppurtunity here to make character skins and armour sets different entities as now, after owning the Succubus skin dlc I cannot equip her skin without changing my armour which is quite annoying. -3. I wished there was a quick access item section in the game just like any Souls game which allowed me to use any item on the go. The repetitive nature of opening the inventory, search for the item, and use it gets quite exhausting when you're half through the game. Other than that, it's quite a fun & engaging game with a ginormous map with unique locations that will take you hours to complete. Also, if you're not a big story driven game guy, you're in for a treat as the story is linear and doesn't diverge into several plotlines. Would recommend.
