The metroidvania thread

[Turbo Kid]

I used to hate the term "metroidvania" but it's become so commonly used that I've just accepted it. What are some of your faves? There is always some debate over what truly qualifies as a metroidvania. Don't stress over it with your choices. I won't make a fuss LOL Here are some of mine:

Guacamelee is so fun. I'm playing the first one before i go to the sequel. There's another one called Afterimage. I played it for a few hours but stopped because i was having so too much fun with Guacamelee.

Always loved the Turrican series if those count. Also Metal Warriors. The modern Blaster Master 1-3 were great too.

I clearly remember I played "Batman" on PSVita, and enjoyed it though I don't like the modern Batman very much; my only other "Metroidvania" has been a real Metroid, "Samus Returns" on 3ds. I'm not very much into this genre, though.

I am a big fan of the Castlevania series, even the less popular GBA titles. Plus I liked Bloodstained a lot too. But other than that I can't say I am really into the genre, whenever I try those other SotN inspired indies and whatnot I end up disappointed somehow.

All Metroidvania fans should absolutely try momodora. It’s also my favorite 2D game of all time.
