Hi! I really like your videos and these are all great games, but Dead Cells isn't a Metroidvania game. If you need a 20th, I'd suggest F.I.S.T., Momodora, or La-Mulana.
I was so irritated that F.I.S.T wasn't on here. I just started playing it and it is one of my favorite Metroidvanias so far. It's much better with original voice acting tho, the English is cheesy haha
@@bear_witness I bought it after watching Metroidvania Guru do a breakdown. He didn't like it, but all of the negatives he mentioned are things I like in a game.
@@bear_witness yup, also try Prince of persia the lost crown, it's one of the best with different and new mechanics, although its style is doubtful, but the gameplay is engaging
@@bear_witness thinking about playing F.I.S.T. blind for my channel next month. About how long do you think it takes to beat and 100% it? Is it at least 15 hours long?
The characters in this version presented here look somewhat different from my Switch (and Stadia) version. Are there different variants of that game depending on the platform?
What about Bloodstained Ritual of the Night, which was made by Iga, one of the main people behind freaking Castlevania?! You know, the guy that's the reason this video even exists?
Deaths gambit is the olny new game that gave me castlevania vibes...and the last faith has the best art style of all metroidvanias but its not that good
Oh wow, I've actually played a lot of these games.... Wonder Boy & The Dragon's Trap was amazing, one of those games I really wanted to 100%. It was so good it made me try Wonder Boy & The Cursed Kingdom, which was good but not AS good. I really didn't like Owlboy. I found the gameplay boring and the story subpar, plus the way the NPC's bully Owlboy relentlessly is really depressing. Iconoclasts I played back when it was a free to download indie game made by Joakim Sandberg, and I liked it so much I got Iconoclasts when it came out. Iconoclasts is bigger, longer, and more fleshed out, but the story got DARK. I'm not a big fan of where they went with that. I didn't really like Guacamelee, I guess it just didn't fulfill my craving for Mexican masked pro wrestling as much as I hoped. UNSIGHTED is really good, but you should know that the game is intended to be played on a timer. If you let the timer go too long, NPC's will start going insane one after the other and you will have to kill them. You can disable this feature if you want, though. The game reminds me a lot of Crosscode, but isn't quite as good. Cave Story I played back when it was a free to download indie game called Dokoutsu, made by Japanese game developer Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya in his spare time. It is FREAKING AMAZING, and I've beaten it about a dozen times. Protip, there is a way to save Curly Brace and finish the game without her dying. Metroid Dread is also freaking awesome, although it doesn't bring the terror it promises in the title. More like, Metroid Creepy. I loved it though, I'd play it again. Last we got Hollow Knight. I really loved that game all the way up to the final boss. For some reason, though, the final boss left me with a sour taste, and I came away from the game with a bad feeling that I didn't really like it. It's weird, I LOVED the game and played the crap out of it (98% clear), but the final boss... kind of an underwhelming end I guess.
I am afraid this needs to be said, as it seems quite a few people are not capable of seeing what they are looking at: Clearly these games are NOT selected based on his preference but pulled out as data from Metacritic (game review website) based on the scores given out there. It doesn't mean I agree or you should on the scores given out by the critics or the other gamers, but it is what it is. Game A could not be above game B, or game X could not be in the list instead of game Y, because it is not based on his opinion, it is just data he is pulling out and sharing, not creating the list.
I would love to find a platformer/MMO hybrid where i could dump countless hours into character development, something that had raids and dungeons with co op play. Like a WoW or ESO wrapped into a visually nice platformer. With PVP
I have mosterboy and its much better than those bullshit that you show. Where apear thats graphics? Kunai, infernax, gato roboto, blasphemous the first one, astronite, the mummy demastered, astalon teats of the kingdom, bloostained ritual of the knight, shantae and the seven sirens.... There are more metroidvania and i love it
Death's gambit and ender lilies combat sadly has no "weight" in their attacks which feels realy bad to me. enemies just move through your attacks. Unsighted is so insanly good!! you can deactivate the timer if you want! it is also has an open world if you get the right abilities! you can tackle any dungeon in an order. you can break the game so hard with the crafting system!! Getting tools for late game dungeons right at the start! all optional! all movement tools also have an combat aspect! also parry system that feels fantastic!! there is an intended way to play this game and then there is the second playthrough in which you just play around with all your knowledge and find out how incredibly well designed that game is! dont miss out on this one! it is absolutely amazing!!! Hollow knight is just a masterpiece! cheap AF for the content it provides! just get it. worldless is not on the list. check it out. unique as hell!
That's awesome Death's Gambit is getting an expansion, as that's probably the only thing wrong with the game, is that it's too short, or at least from what i've heard.
It is. A roguelike metroidvania. You need to gain certain items in order to access certain paths that get you to different bosses. In other words it is non-linear and utility-gated which is the definition of metroidvania
It's not. It has levels that once beat you can't go back to explore until you die at which point it is completely different. You will have to play through the 1st levels hundreds of times before you beat the game. There are no Metroid nor Castlevania games that use that format.
@@akiltahsin7981 It is redundant to refer to a Metroid game as a Metroidvania. From its inception, Metroid was doing non-linear progression action adventure. Castlevania was not. It is appropriate to differentiate between Castelvania games using the Metroidvania qualifier, but moronically redundant with Metroid games.
Dead cells is a metroidvania, have you ever even played it? You unlock upgrades that allow you to access previously inaccessible places. That's a metroidvania. It's a metroidvania roguelike.
@@Training_Wheels Gex 2 ? The platformer with a gecko as a main protagonist??? When I search for Gex 2 it's the only thing I find. On the thumbnail of this video, you see a humanoid character facing a huge monster with a kind of red glowing on its chest, so it's definitely not the same game.
30 years later, no game comes close to a super metroid experience, it has something to do with pace of the caracter, music, and mystic. most metrovania games are just too hysterical, and the music ruins it even more. first of of i think a metroidvania game should be a caracter that is isolated, no holding hands or hints, just pure mysterious, some areas no music, insane big and screaming bosses. it is a concept that can't get old, because games like souls are actualy the same.
Metroid Dread and Ori also stink. Overrated trash. Dread has these incredibly poorly made parts of the game where you get one-shotted over and over again and you just keep doing it until you get through. Also, the bosses are poorly designed and just require you to follow a pattern over and over and over. Ori's sprite is so small you can barely see what you are doing. Your main attack looks terrible and is seemingly random if it will connect or not. Also, every dungeon has the terrible trope of you having to escape and it becomes a dull tedious exercise of memorizing how to climb out as you die over and over and over again until one time when you have memorized the path. Trash
@@Awesomeflame16 what do you mean? Those aren’t issues that’s the gameplay of those games. It’s not a glitch it’s a poorly designed game. I don’t understand what you mean. Are you claiming only my copy of Dread had those terrible rooms where you had to hide from that stupid robot or you got insta killed and had to reload the game over and over again?
Pls stop calling it metroidvania the proper name is called maze dungeon game, is the the same in smash game look alike or style you see it is called platform fighters game or platform fighting game stop calling it like that what if everyone called every platform games as Mario style games or every monster catcher as dragon quest style games so pls stop using this kind of slang
It is called a metroidvania because it is directly created from the formula of a Metroid and Castlevania games. Smash bros was and is the origin of that game type's formula. Dark souls was the origin of "soul's like" games. Etc, etc. It's a way to acknowledge the roots of the game while describing the gameplay. The reason we don't call platformers "Mario style games" is because there were many different platforming games from the beginning. They weren't exactly breaking ground, they just did it really well. I'm not going to stop calling them by the names of the games that literally paved the way for their existence and I would guess that many of the developers themselves are honored that their games are being referred to by their obvious inspirations. Unless they are incredibly arrogant and ignorant.
@@nicol2487 no way. You must be young b/c that weird bug looking thing can't even compete with Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Metroid Dread, Strider 2014, Castlevania Symphony of the Night & Super Metroid.
@@MikeAnthonyPhoto Lol, Hollow Knight is now 7 years old, older than Metroid Dread. Please don't argue something like the classics are the best and young people don't know their games anymore... While the classics will always be pioneers of their own genre and are almost all timeless, enjoyable pieces of videogame history, Hollow Knight is a beautiful example of how to elevate a metroidvania to a level where, at least for me, everything comes together to craft a unique world and it's very own identity, just like Metroid and Castlevania did before. As for Prince Of Persia: TLC; it somehow lost more of it's own identity in an attempt to re-invent itself yet again
@@Ananasbringer Prince of Persia is the BEST Metroidvania game. That says a lot & shocked even me since I am a hardcore Castlevania & Metroid fan since 1986. I got back into video games last July 2023 after not playing games for 20 years just to play Metroid Dread. My friend told me about it. I have been waiting since 1994 for a true sequel to Super Metroid to play on TV. I don't play handheld games. Now I am hooked on games again. I stopped playing after getting the PS2 when it was released. I bought a Switch & PS5 last year. Sadly, I have to use arthritis gloves when playing b/c I am old now. LOL I hope I can still play for another 10 years before both my thumbs fall off.

While the classics will always be pioneers of their own genre and are almost all timeless, enjoyable pieces of videogame history, Hollow Knight is a beautiful example of how to elevate a metroidvania to a level where, at least for me, everything comes together to craft a unique world and it's very own identity, just like Metroid and Castlevania did before. As for Prince Of Persia: TLC; it somehow lost more of it's own identity in an attempt to re-invent itself yet again
@@Ananasbringer Prince of Persia is the BEST Metroidvania game. That says a lot & shocked even me since I am a hardcore Castlevania & Metroid fan since 1986. I got back into video games last July 2023 after not playing games for 20 years just to play Metroid Dread. My friend told me about it. I have been waiting since 1994 for a true sequel to Super Metroid to play on TV. I don't play handheld games. Now I am hooked on games again. I stopped playing after getting the PS2 when it was released. I bought a Switch & PS5 last year. Sadly, I have to use arthritis gloves when playing b/c I am old now. LOL I hope I can still play for another 10 years before both my thumbs fall off.
What game is in the thumb nail?
