    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.

      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

    25 - new to me
    24 - decent
    23 - the beginning sucks; I quit.
    22 - might play some day
    21 - new to me
    20 - overrated and kinda frustrating
    19 - new to me
    18 - very good
    17 - played one Momodora game and hated it
    16 - legit Metroid game
    15 - will let you know if it ever doesn't require me to download Ubisoft launchers
    14 - might play some day
    13 - I know it exists, and that's about it
    12 - didn't get very far with it
    11 - might play some day, though I'm worried the puzzles might be frustrating
    10 - bought recently, need to get back to
    9 - never played
    8 - wasn't incredibly impressed and completely bailed after one BS room
    7 - might play some day
    6 - didn't finish; combat mechanics are kinda hard to figure out tbh
    5 - not a game I expected in the top 5; haven't played it
    4 - the OG
    3 - never played it
    2 - did not care for; felt too much like playing a clunky and unforgiving 80's arcade game
    1 - is legitimately great
    X5 - finished it, but thought aspects of it were pretty bad
    X4 - got frustrated in several places where I did the right thing and the game didn't accept it, leading me to think it was wrong
    X3 - not better than Super Metroid
    X2 - actual best game
    X1 - except maybe this, which I haven't played, but I tend not to like the SotN-likes, such as TLN
    Notably unmentioned: 8Doors, Astalon
