evilnancyreagan: So, I am looking at picking up La Mulana but, after browsing the screenshots, I am concerned that the motif will be too Pitfally and too much like an Aztec themed amusement park.
Are my reservations founded or are the areas to explore interesting in their diversity?
LaMulana is a great Metroidvania-styled platformer where you play a character modeled after Indiana Jones. It is Aztec/Incan-themed, but the game is quite frankly awesome. Try the old version for free to see if you like it. I should add that the music is fantastic.Are my reservations founded or are the areas to explore interesting in their diversity?

I thought this was only the third? Whatever the case, it took awhile for it to come back around while others were on their 5th appearance, i'm just happy it's back so I can finally stop watching the sales like a hawk, lol.

Oh sorry, you're right it is the 3rd appearance for Primordia I made the mistake of assuming that RWarehall's GOG Summer Sale doc wasn't updated yet. :) EDIT: Ninja'd by the man himself. :P

Why some of the games I own aren't marked in the front page?

I don't have a problem with thematics when they are varied. I love SotN because even though the whole thing goes down in just one castle, the individual areas are distinct enough to make transitioning through them interesting and enjoyable.
I guess my question is, how diverse is the world of La Mulana, are there caves, jungles, graveyards and subterranean lakes to explore or is it like 96% ruined temple?

The theme isn't varied much outside the overarching Mayan/Aztec/Incan theme; certainly not like SOTN. But, I wouldn't let that dissuade you. If you can get the game for cheap enough, I seriously doubt you'd dislike it. At least, I'd be very surprised if you didn't think it was a good game. And, either way, try the free one I posted, which has an intentional 8-bit charm to it.

This link will tell you a bit more and maybe help you make a judgement call on it, but I can say as someone who played through every GBA/DS Castlevania and SOTN I would hands-down give La-Mulana my personal recommendation :

Here's a speedrun that will let you see the various areas :

Edit : looking at these videos, the areas do vary more than I thought. Take a gander.
And all the Ghouls and Ghosts games are great!
