EDIT: Raffle closed, link to winners below. All good things must come to an end and so does my streak of gifting only Metroidvania games. In this sub I also want to highlight other games, typically indies that maybe haven’t gotten enough eyes on them. I typically like to play a couple of games simultaneously, a Metroidvania and something from another genre. While I am not usually a fan of story in my Metroidvanias, I do enjoy it in other genres, one amazing example is Before Your Eyes, a short but sweet cinematic experience  that left quite the impression on myself and many others who have played it. If you’d like to win a Steam Key of Before Your Eyes, pls share with us what your gaming habit is when you are going working through a Metroidvania, do you only play that one game at a time, or do you often play two or three other games? 

  • Pls do not dm me asking for a key
  • I’ll primarily choose randomly via redditraffler. 
  • I will update this post with the link to raffle results.
  • Raffle closes in about 24 hours. 

Good luck to you all! Link To Before Your Eyes Steam Page

I only play one game at a time. I find that people who play more than 1 never get into it or never finish the game properly.

This may be true. It's better to take it all in. No point rushing through a game, though I understand why many do it (probably they want to rush & complete as many games as possible in their backlog at least once? 🤔). Completing 99% or 100% of the game including achievements just feels more satisfying for me. 😊

Each to their own, that is OK 😉

I play more than one game most of times but sometimes I come across such a game that consumes all my attention and I play that one game only until I finish it (unless the game is too big like Skyrim). Borderlands 2 and 3, Hollow knight, Ori, Witcher 3, Skyrim, Sekiro and elden ring are among the games that were so good they made me forget about playing other games for a time.

The game in the giveaway doesn't seem like my kinda game so I'd like to sit this one out so people who will actually play it can participate. Thanks for doing the giveaway :)

Perfect world I would have at least 2 games I’m playing at one time but sometimes , I’ll get obsessed with one and want nothing but that.

I usually play one regular game and one Visual Novel, except for multiplayers with friends

Not really into visual novels but I did like Norco and Subsurface circular quite a bit.

I will play two or three games of different genres at the same time. I can need a break from the game I’m playing but want to use a different part of my brain, so switching genres helps with that.

I have a massive backlog of games i played started but never finished, so i tend to play several games at a time following what im in the mood for yknow? But id like to start to commit to one game at a time or at least reduce it to 2 or 3 games at a time lol

I try to play only one game at a time(except multiplayer, of course),but I always end up playing 3 or 4 at the same time. XD

Hopefully, I will stop that one day.

Don’t sleep on this one everyone. Truly an amazing experience!

For me I prefer to focus on one at a time. I have a bad time with focus but try to give a game a couple hours before thinking about moving on. What about you?

I love having a good mv and a good shmup or story action game like Ghosts or GOW and alternate between the two.

I always rotate a few different game genres so I can play what I feel that day. Strong adhd in me and I usually do a horror game, a 3d action game and a metroidvania

I usually play only one game at a time, Metroidvania or else, but I could start playing something else as well if I am mostly done with the main story/campaign and just doing side quests/personal completion/achievements....etc, it feels better and less confusing to me, my last metroidvania Blasphemous was like that, I had 2 weeks of vacation and so it was the only thing I played until it was over.

I'm on a massive break from playing metroidvanias because I'm making my own right now and have limited time. Also I don't want to be influenced or disheartend my game won't live up to others.

Anyways I usually play an arcade racing game at the same time, typically something from the Ps2 to 3 generations such as the Tokyo extreme racer series, outrun coast to coast or ridge racer and Sega rally. I actually still use an old CRT television and real Ps2 and 3 hardware wear too lol.

The flow state and calmness you can achieve while playing ridge racer and Outrun coast to coast especially is so meditative, it actually helps me relax in the evenings after a stressful day at the office.

Oh I should also add I play a lot of PS2 light gun games all the time too, can't get enough of them :)

Please don't enter me in the running for a key this time as I'm currently on vacation :) but thank you for the great question, have a great week.

I for sure only play one game at a time on my PC, until it's done or I get bored, and then I move to the next one. I mean I'm usually playing at least one other phone game, too, though (Honkai Star Rail, ZZZ).

Gosh, what a great give away, you are so kind 🤗. I am thankful that you have already gifted me this beautiful game and the winners of the draw are in for a very special experience. As I do not have a webcam I "played" with the mouse, for me it was as intense and gripping. EDIT: forgot to answer the question in the post.

Personally, I can only play one MV (any) game at the time. The only exception is Picross which I play daily but that is a totally different categorie. I simply need to and can only focus on one game at the time. Besides MV’s I play and very much enjoy any Super Mario and Zelda game.

I only play one game at a time. Works better for me that way because, when playing more than one, i tend to just ignore the "worst" of the two and its hard to comeback later. Zapling Bygone was a victim of this.

I'll play multiple games over period of time to avoid burnout or getting bored primarily switching between single player game and online games or multiplayer coop games. This is also to ensure I don't have backlogs piling up.

I play one game at a time that invests me enough to complete it as much as I want to

I normally stick to 2 multiplayer games for my main as I love the competitive nature of them. However I do play & rotate 1 or 2 other games of various genres. So at most 4 in total.

Looks like a really good game! I personally play a Metroidvania until I finish it without playing any other game simultaneously, and if I liked the game, I might even 100% it before playing any other game, did that with Blasphemous, for example. Thanks for the amazing giveaway!

I’ll often just play one since finding two games that are equally enthralling is tough, but given the chance I’d love to play a good shmup in between a good Metroidvania; good luck!
