If someone is looking to get into the series and there's a chance they may not play more than 1 game, that's usually one I recommend because it's an incredible adventure graphically, sonically, vibe wise, pacing, the level design is great, the bosses are generally fantastic, etc. Putting all the philosophical stuff aside, CV4 is just an incredible game.
I disagree because CVIV doesnt teach you how to play a Classicvania properly, its design undermines most of what Classicvania is, So I'll add that a good starting point to. "Hey you did the bullshit, heres a fun easier romp for you!" and i say easy, but i do recognize 4 is pretty tough despite the QOL.ĮDit: Actually CV1 would be a good place to start because its CV1.its literally the start. 4 to me has always been more like a reward for getting through the other games. They aren't so old and traditional as CV1, they aren't as punishingly dick headed as CVIII can be, and they aren't so newbie friendly and full of concessions like 4 is. But thats my take, I think he would better starting with Rondo, or Bloodlines or something. I like 4 a lot but i think it gives new players a false idea of what the classicvania series is really about, its not about easy whipping power and nimble acrobatics, which is what 4 is compared to the rest of the series. I think its better to start with something more traditionally rooted in the series mechanics so you don't get spoiled by the QOL 4 offers that most of the others do not. Your ability to air control really well, and have total control on the stairs teaches you that jumps are easy and stairs aren't dangerous.ĬVIV luls newbies into a false sense of comfort about the series and make it hard to move on from because you have to give up too much to play them.
I disagree because CVIV doesnt teach you how to play a Classicvania properly, its design undermines most of what Classicvania is, and ive had friends start with IV and be unable to move past it because the other games are "too archaic and old and stiff." 8 way whipping teaches you to ignore you Sub Weapons because the Whip can do everything they can but with 0 ammo cost.
I think CV4 is a good first classicvania because it's a bit more approachable than CV1 or 3 in a lot of ways and is a real tour de force in terms of what the series is capable of producing.
