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.

          Yes. At least I didn’t hit any roadblocks like in Hollowknight where a lot of patience and concentration was required to beat certain bosses and not lose your sanity on the ridiculously long ways to the arena.

      Hollow Knight didn’t really do it for me so I haven’t tried Silksong yet (I hated not having a map for each area until I purchased one).

      I may have to try putting an emulator on my Steam Deck and seeing if Super Metroid holds up.

        If you didn’t like Hollow Knight you probably won’t like Silksong either.

        The game is good, and incredibly polished, but feels aimed at the people who 100% the first game and wanted more.

          Good to know. I did play Hollow Knight for a while but drifted off of it, it is not something that I personally would want to 100%
