I love nine sols for the quality of storytelling, really dragged me in and wanted to get better to finish the story! Skills become unlocked as you progress so don't give up too early!
Been into metroidvania lately and completed 3 games so far and my ranking as of now is: 1. Nine Sols (by a large margin) 2. Hollow Knight 3. Bo Path of the Teal Lotus
If we're only doing side scoller Metroidvania games: Super Metroid, Castlevania: SOTN & Hollow Knight are king. If however we include 3D Metroidvania games, I believe the Metroid Prime Trilogy is as good as it gets. Never have i gotten more immersed into a game than i have with Metroid Prime. Its atmosphere is just on an entirely different level.
Best games but guys, if you wanna play another one that is not in this list, you should give a try to Timespinner, one of the best metroidvania game i have ever played
That’s just not true. Thats true for Rogue-likes and Souls-likes but Metroidvania absolutely includes Metroid and Castlevania, more so than any other game. They’re the most objective measure of what a Metroidvania is People just don’t include them on lists like this because you should already be familiar with them if you know what a Metroidvania is
I'm playing it now. I haven't played Hollow Knight yet, but I just started getting into metriodvania games after bloodstained ritual of the night and just beating nine sols. So far, afterimage is really good.
@@ramrodbldm9876wow man. That’s a pretty screwed up comment. I’ve got friends thanks. Few want to play a game like guacamelee though. Stop trying to be a 14 year old edge lord and grow up. I feel really sorry for someone so ignorant as yourself. Good luck to you.
Wow that sounds original. That's probably one of the most original themes a game could have. The only thing that could be more original is a husband in search for his wife in a post apocalyptic world. Lmao bozo
@@ramrodbldm9876 it's not about originality. It's about how the theme was delivered. Have you played the game? No? Then shut your pie hole and go back to minecraft
That game punishes player for experimenting and dying. I was absolutely astonished that I had to side at the end with a character I didn't like because of amount of deaths I had. Disgusting decision of developers! I quit and deleted the game.
@@ActionGameStation you're welcome, it is well deserved. I'm 41 years old, and metroidvania is my favorite type of game since the release of Castlevania SOTN. I have played almost all games on your list, and it is awesome how much i agree with it. Greetings from Portugal.
Indeed. The 3 of them are amazing. The Messenger would have been perfect if it wasn't for the devil boss fight part... which is infuriating to play against.
@@tkundnobody actually I did. Didn't watch all of it cus I don't have the time plus I played many of the games. I see now that you put dread together with Ori so it doesn't show up on the list.
@@tkundnobody yes i saw it later. I agree with the list. Ori and Metroid are top. Haven't played simony of the night and hollow knight I haven't finished. Didn't like the game. Maybe I'll give it another try
@@arturobravo701 it took me 4 starts to finally finish hollow knight. Awesome game. And I suck at the combat. For Symphony: it’s on all platforms except the switch. Which sucks. I hope I can play it eventually on my switch.

@@ReaperRenan trust me I wish I wasn’t.. I love metroidvania games. Metroid dread, pop the lost crown and the ori games are some of my favorites of all time. I’m starting hollow knight for the 4th time now and hoping it stick with me cause I wanna love it so badly
@@greenheart5334 Well, yes, but a Metroidvania roguelike. You unlock runes, shortcuts, weapons, traps, health flasks, and more. The map layout changes but the levels are the same and you progress in a way.

Same. The AI voice in terrible and makes me think the entire video was written using AI.

Totally agree!
Crazy, that a seemingly fully AI-channel has a sponsor. in case you missed it, people love authentic and passionate content.
ender lilies was one of the luckiest finds I've ever had. excellent game
Yes it is
Hollow Knight is the King
Don't sleep on our game, BioGun, if you love metroid-likes with a focus on shooter combat :D
would love to play it but its not on steam deck which sucks its perfect for steam deck
@@ghostgamingxd7881 Did you mean Switch? Its not on console yet. Its playable on Steam Deck.
Definitely will sleep on that generic clone 😂

Salt and Sanctuary holds a special place in my heart
I would definitely recommend Worldless. I'm not usually a fan of turn based combat, but the game really caught me for its story and visuals

Best 5 Games is the best way to describe them
I've been chasing that dragon ever since playing SOTN way back when. Nothing has beaten it since.
Hollow Knight is the best MV ever imo
Axiom Verge 1 should be in that list. It is a very good Metroidvania game.
It is
Best games but guys, if you wanna play another one that is not in this list, you should give a try to Timespinner, one of the best metroidvania game i have ever played
People, do NOT sleep on HAAK. It's a masterpiece.
It's on my list. Real good huh? Nice
I wish it was on Xbox
@@bcclutch3822I was bored playing this even on my phone
Eh, it's alright. I gave up on it. It's generic
its good damn good level design and platforming
Metroid y castlevania are not metroidvania is just metroid y castlevania, is like to say, the color green is a color.
That's why I found weird why a regular Metroid game was on a metroid-vania list....
They literally are, this isn't the same situation as "souls-like" games.
That’s just not true. Thats true for Rogue-likes and Souls-likes but Metroidvania absolutely includes Metroid and Castlevania, more so than any other game. They’re the most objective measure of what a Metroidvania is
People just don’t include them on lists like this because you should already be familiar with them if you know what a Metroidvania is
SOTN is almost 30 years old. It's mid-tier at this point. And if the genre hasn't topped itself in 3 decades, what's the point of making this list?
If you like Ori, i would recommend Unbound, and Islets... short games but pretty amazing
"Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet" is a very good metroidvania, isn´t it?
If you love hollow knight and the huge world i recommend a game i currently playing called afterimage
I'm playing it now. I haven't played Hollow Knight yet, but I just started getting into metriodvania games after bloodstained ritual of the night and just beating nine sols. So far, afterimage is really good.
@@ZeroChance21 yeah it’s truly a masterpiece but now am lost and don’t know where to go
dying for someone to mention cave story
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia is a number One.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night to my knowledge was never release on PC
as bloodborne, it seams the perfect games in there genre dont have the pc release xD
Dust an elysian tale is another great title. Even order of ecclesia is fantastic maybe the best castlevania title on Nintendo ds.
those who played Aeterna noctis understand how well it is
Played all but shadow complex and Astlibra.
Is your entire channel AI voiced? Cause if so that's wild
Hey. Have you played Bloodless?
Not yet bro!

Super Metroid on Xbox one?
Super Metroid release date: 9.30.2021 🙃
Some others are: ghost song,aftherimage, the messenger
Indeed. The 3 of them are amazing. The Messenger would have been perfect if it wasn't for the devil boss fight part... which is infuriating to play against.
Aeterna noctis you did not played it because it should be in TOP 5..
Nine sols is second only to hollow knight. You’ve written a script I advise you read it, the AI voice over is bad…

We all decided that hollow knight is the GOAT
There's a huge lack of Shantae in your list.

Where is Afterimage?
Thats not Bloodstained. What game is that?
never play as Zangetsu? lul
Metroid zero mission but no metroid fusion lol sorry thats really bad my dude
18:27 Super metroid Pc PS4 Xbox one Switch......?
Bring 9 sols to switch
Thought ROLW Deedlit would make it. Good video though. Dead Cells is completely missing which kind of devalues the entire video.
"...in blasphemous sequel..." eeeeehw
"This Blasphemous Sequel showcase was brought to you by Chat GPT" lol
Thanks for adding the names in the timeline. That way i can avoid listening to that awful AI voice
Super Metroid only came out four years ago? Feels more like thirty, dang.
Nine sols destroy hollow knight
Touhou lunar is the most overrated metroidvania for sure
