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.

    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.

      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.

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

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