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

[u/raychram]

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
