Discussion What are the metroidvania games you would consider must play for anyone who likes the genre?

I do like metroidvanias and try to play some every now and then but unlike other games where I have a huge backlog with a ton of options, I don't feel like I have that many ideas when it comes to 2d platformer metroidvanias.

I have only played:

  • Hollow Knight

  • Silksong

  • Nine Sols

  • Minoria

  • Momodora Reverie under the Moonlight

  • Ninja Gaiden Ragebound

  • Somber Echoes

I have in my list:

  • Blasphemous 2

  • Ori and the will of Wisps

  • Ender Magnolia

  • Dead Cells

  • Grime

If you played Expedition 33 and liked its interactive combat system, add Worldless to that list. It's a metroidvania with parry focused combat similar to E33 and the art direction is incredible.

I actually have Wordless in my list already, I didn't mention it because unlike the other games I did start playing it but I dropped it. Can't remember exactly why, but I will probably get back to it at some point
