I haven’t played a Metroidvania in a while and I’m looking for suggestions of some good ones to try. Some I would recommend:
Ender’s: Lilies (Magnolias is good too, but play Lilies first. The setting and theme hits better.)
Ori and the Blind Forest / Will of the Wisps (Will of the Wisps did bring a tear to my eye)
Monster Sanctuary (a creature capture metroidvania)
Any system is good, interested to hear of other good ones that are out there.


A fantastic game, and has one of the best remasters I’ve ever seen.
The option to use bothe joystick was great.
I recently played the original via Primehack, a fork of Dolphin Emulator which (among other things) modernises the controls
