Cookie Cutter is hyper-violent translation of old-school Metroidvanias that gracefully does not allow itself to get bogged down with convoluted modern flourishes. Exploration tools drop the player into a satisfying progression loop that doesn’t rely on random elements and combat is not overtly punishing. But it’s Cookie Cutter‘s unique visual palette and uncompromising absurdity that truly leave a bloody impression before ever allowing itself to grow stale.
Despite some minor missteps, Cookie Cutter is easily one of the best Metroidvania games of this year, and an absolute must-play.

Wonderful blend of action combat and classic Metroidvania. Beautiful animation, inspiring main character and so punk rock. Highly Recommended!

Ok, I'm the director of the game ,I don't want to pretend that I'm someone else giving the game a vote (and I could) I'm voting 9 just to raise the media cause of that a55h0l3 that gave us zero .
XD
I wish you the worst man <3

Cookie Cutter is not just another metroidvania. Like so many others, it manages to find its place with its own ideas and aesthetics, that doesn't "hold back" and lets its gore and hyperviolent touch flow, with a macabre and punk humor. Too bad that some aspects need a little polishing, because it is fun and manages to catch.
Cookie Cutter is a bloody blast! Its punk rock attitude seeps through to help the game stand out amongst the crowd. Platforming and combat are tight which makes the moment-to-moment gameplay feel great. There’s an overuse of certain gameplay segments and reliance on conventions, however, the rebel spirit pierces through to make this an essential title for fans of Metroidvanias.
A fairly classic Metroidvania in its gameplay formula, but artistically above average and embellished with a cast that wouldn't look out of place in an Anime. Some balance issues don't stop it from being a highly enjoyable title and telling a meaningful story that deserves to be listened to.
With the Metroidvania genre seemingly being one of the most popular right now, fans are stacked with choices when it comes to what to play. And while Cookie Cutter might not be at the top of the pile, it does stand out for a number of reasons. Its hand-drawn art is wonderful to behold, and its punk spirit will no doubt be very attractive to some. Then there’s the combat, which has its issues but is mostly chaotic in the best way. Ultimately, then, while it’s not going to win any awards, you could do a lot worse than spend time with Cookie Cutter.
They say never to judge a video game by its graphics but, when it comes to Cookie Cutter that is easy to do. The 2D visuals and animation in this game are simply outstanding. Perhaps, with some hefty patching, the rest of the game might one day match those gorgeous looks.
Amazing art, like, REALLY amazing, a solid attitude that doesn't get right in your face but instead amuses and intrigues you throughout the game, banging combat and top notch sound.
The levels are HUGE and the map does a fair job of helping to keep you on point, despite a couple of instances where I got totally lost. The boss fights are utterly badass - just the right amount of challenge that means you don't cut straight through them but instead get a real sense of achievement when you beat them.
It might not be absolutely the very best metroidvania ever, but it's pretty close. Probably the best this year.

Cool little Metroidvania with plenty of action and fun areas to explore. The art style is excellent, the combat is fun, and it's refreshing to play as a protagonist as unique and badass as Cherry. Frankly, it's cool to play as a female who doesn't look like a sex doll for a change. The only thing preventing this from earning a higher score are the bugs -- there are many, *many* bugs, most are just annoying, but some quest/trophy breaking. It's clear this game was not ready for release and needed another month of play testing. Still, even with the hiccups, it was a joy to play. Took about 30 hours on a very thorough playthrough.

only worth 10 dollar.
- 10 - 14 hour long.
-not polished meh 2d Metroidvania, cringe story, annoying bad glitches, sometime control not responding will, very repetitive combat with bad ai enemies, bad parry, little enemy types, bad bosses and bad open ending.
-only good speed movement, level design, gore and its Metroidvania.

Sadly, not good. There's some excellent animations here and there... but they're interspersed with some awful "flash like" stuff that it's very offputting. YMMV about the art style, but I personally detest it, especially the atrocious main character with her weird proportions and poses and those cartoon stumpy legs. Worst protagonist in the history of metroidvanias. Controls are kind of floaty and unreliable; annoying to navigate and jump on platforms. The parry feels its cheating and you get hit when you're not supposed to be. Combat just isn't fun. Fatalities could have been great... if only you were able to see what happens, since they're super fast and unintelligible. Not recommended.

Her name is Cherry. Love turns to rage and chainsaws in Cookie Cut...
