Oh man, that’s big news. Lazer’s standard mode been essentially playable since like 2020. Recent updates have been chasing corner cases and adding features with no end in sight.

Guacomelee should get more love, it’s a really stylish game and there is even coop if you want to play together with someone.

Just so it’s not forgotten to time I want to recommend AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake). It’s basically what if Metroid 2 was made in the Super Metroid engine.

I’d recommend any of the 2D Metroids, but if you’re going to play Metroid 2, that’s the version to play.

i can tell you the one that surprised me the most: Yoku’s Island Express! utterly adorable pinball metroidvania. you’re a little dung beetle pushing a big ball around to deliver mail.

i find that there is so much focus on dark and dreary in the metroidvania genre, which makes sense considering the roots of the genre. me, i get enough of that in my daily life. i want colorful and full of curiosity. the ori games are good for that too, as is supraland, but i don’t know of many more.

ZombieBait,

Yoku’s is my favorite pinball platformer metroidvania. I don’t hear about many other people playing it.

EvilBit,

That one was a delightful surprise. I enjoyed it thoroughly because I’ve always liked digital pinball as well.

Aside from sotn of course, dead cells hands down.

Playing it for years now.

Edit: I would love for the downvote(s) to say (why/if) they didn’t like dead cells or if they don’t see it as metroidvania. (no discussion about opinions! ☺️)

Stuart_Munto,

Yeah Dead Cells is incredible. The one game that never gets uninstalled and I keep coming back to it every few months for a few (hundred) runs

Super Metroid. I really haven’t liked any others that I’ve played.

nieminen,

Finally, someone with sense!

(I’m obviously kidding about my tone btw, people can like whatever they like.)

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. IMO this is where the series peaked, perfected the formula and delivered a game packed with several large maps and three sets of bonus characters to replay the game with.

chiliedogg,

if you haven’t played Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night you really, really should. It’s made by the creators behind the Castevania games and is REALLY good.

TachyonTele,

I can’t stand how the character moves in bloodstained. It’s like an 8 bit games physics.

But it is a fun game otherwise.

kaidenshi,

Are you sure you aren’t confusing Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night with Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon? The former is as fluid as SotN, if not more so. The latter is meant to emulate the stiff movement of the original 8-bit Castlevania games.

TachyonTele,

The one with boat intro. She plays piano on the cover or something. It’s very super Castlevania feeling.

kaidenshi,

Interesting, Super Castlevania is a 16-bit game, and in RotN Miriam moves much more fluidly and easily than Belmont in SC.

TachyonTele,

8 bit 16, whatever. That’s not the point.

Aria of Sorrow

I don’t know if it’s “favorite”, but an old classic was Aquaria. It had a surprising amount of content, even to the point of several secret bosses, and an absolutely excellent soundtrack. Sadly, the main guy behind it is dead now. Ori was also fantastic.

Headlander was surprisingly fun. Probably not my favorite, but certainly up there.

I was shocked to see no mention of Ori in any of the comments here before I realized you had already recommended it in the OP. I have no issues with seconding that, the Ori series is really good.

I love this style of game. I always have one on the go. Some times they scratch the itch, others they miss just a bit. I found that the blasphemous series more dark souls than Metroidvania. Biogun, chasm, bloodstained, any of the ori games, haiku, the mummy demastered, turnip boy commits tax evasion, dust an Elysian tale… I have more but that’s a solid chunk. I’d love to hear from others if they do or don’t consider these in the same family.

Do you consider Zelda64 a MetroidVania? If so then Darksiders has that action, similarly control, soul reaver 1 and 2, and blood omen 2.

Emerica, (edited ) do games w What is your favorite Metroidvania?

Surprised it hasn’t been mentioned yet but Aeterna Noctis is one of my favorites and I have played a LOT of metroidvanias. Some of the platforming sections are quite difficult but there is an easier mode with easier enemies and platforming. It has a huge map and some really cool mechanics I haven’t seen before.

Edit: a couple more I thought of that aren’t listed. HAAK is a fun one, another one with some interesting mechanics and a fun story too. Souldiers is more of a 2d RPG game but it still has some Metroid mechanics. Four classes you can play as with a good story.
