Environmental Station Alpha.

This. La Mulana and its sequel are leagues ahead of any other metroidvania I've played. Also it's not quite in the same genre, but if you enjoy this style of game look at Rain World
Hudson Hernandez
That's a great one. SOTN is all-time best, followed by Super Metroid.
Some of the other GBA Castlevania games are good too but they pale in comparison to the others.
Currently waiting for Bloodstained.
Wyatt Ortiz
Tyler Moore
I mostly agree with this one. I need to stop being lazy and make my own. Main difference is I'd swap La-Mulana with Hollow Knight.
Aiden Mitchell
The original I wanna be the guy.
Kevin King
TVTropes has probably the most complete list of Metroidvanias, but a lot of them I don't think actually are. Take a game like VVVVVV, which has a large, interconnected map, but no power-ups or movement upgrades.
Luke Miller
Rabi-Ribi.
That is, until it gets dethroned by its even better sequel, The Love Bunny.
Ethan Garcia
I am happy it exists because without it I don't think its fangames would have even spawned but after getting used to them the original's physics are so bad it hurts to play.
Jeremiah Edwards
SOTN hands down, but for classics I can't choose. I like 1,3,4,Rondo,Bloodlines,and x68000 a lot. Rebirth too, even. None of the metroidvanias after SOTN captured the movement that game had, Alucard just has so many options at once that he's fun to control and it really makes the exploration more fun.

I went back to it this year and double jump detection seems particularly buggy, but still solid.
What are your top fangames?
Last I played was I dun wanna be anything 2 which is an actual metroidvania with powerups, pretty nice game overall.
Ayden Long
Aria of Sorrow is the absolute peak of the genre
Ayden Hall
dun wanna be anything 2 is solid I really need to finish it at some point
I'm more of a fan of straight up needle games, my favourites are still Cultured 2, Shiver or the Dandy series.
Evan Ward
Symphony of the Night
Order of Ecclesia
Portrait of Ruins
Christopher Fisher
Classic: Tie between Super Metroid and Aria of Sorrow
Modern: Hollow Knight by a large margin, excited for Silksong
Jackson Rogers
Aria of Sorrow and AM2R
Bentley Wright
Portrait of Ruin.
Sebastian Myers
Based and soulpilled
Jason Parker
>mega man zx not listed
shitty tourist list
Connor Hill
ZX is trash and would've been better with a stage select screen instead of the stupid overworld.
Lincoln Reyes
Is that an actual Metroidvania though? A big, interconnected map with powerups that let you backtrack and find new areas?
Charles Murphy
La mulana remake
Bentley Johnson
yaok
yes
Colton Morales
What a retarded name...
Noah Sanders
Mostly agree but I really don't think Dawn of Sorrow is on par with Aria of Sorrow
Jonathan Martinez
Aria, Hollow Knight, and Momodora 4
Isaiah Barnes
I agree with that too, actually.
DoS introduced soul grinding/farming with its stupid crafting system and requiring multiple copies of a soul to make soul abilities worth using.
Adam Bell
Luna nights.
Brody Nguyen
You people sure you're not overrating Hollow knight by a bit? Do you really think it did enough things original or well to warrant being at the very top or near it?
Also, Axiom Verge is better than people give it credit for
James Brown
T. retards who don't understand what Metroidvania means
Isaiah Davis
is ori really generally considered just kinda middle of the road? i'm pretty new to the genre but absolutely loved it.
Colton King
Retard.
Adam Perry
Great post.
Nathan Torres
Jackson Brown
No it's great, that list was just made by a hipster.
Luke Bennett
I think this list is questionable, but noone made another one that actually stuck.
Ori is immensely better than Shadow Complex, for example. Shadow Complex should be probably put even below meh tier in this list.
Evan Sullivan
Almost all of those replies are actual metroidvanias idiot
Parker Thomas
>HK
>God tier
Great or Good tier.
Cameron Sanders
I'm sick of going Into a thread and seeing these ABOSLUTE FUCKING DOWN SYNDROME anons commenting on shit they have ABSOLUTELY no idea of. Get fucked by a pig and die.
Austin Martinez
>My favorite Metroidvania is Hollow Knight!
Now now my cute little dumbass. Which part of "Hollow Knight" do you get "Castlevania" from? Let me educate you, "Metroidvania" is used specifically for games of the "Castlevania" franchise that are not "Classicvanias"
Sorry you were born after the term came out so you could misuse it. Let me guess you are also a big "Rogue-like" fan also right?
Christopher Brooks
Binding of Isaac is a roguelike no matter how much it makes you autists seethe.
Cooper Sanchez
It's a genre you fucking autist
Brayden James
no it isn't you complete moron. Answer this question, is Metroid a Metroidvania?
Jackson Gomez
Symphony is still the best and casts the shadow
No game will do so much right and so much soul ever again.
Jordan Martinez
Yes
The term was created to describe the genre of "games like Metroid and [SotN-style] Castlevania" you fucking idiot, not to describe Metroid and Castlevania because they're already called Metroid and Castlevania
Nobody can be this stupid
Thomas Gonzalez
Wheres terraria?
Easton Gomez
>terraria
Jaxon Butler
Progression/story: Environmental Station Alpha
Everything else: Portrait of ruin
Cameron Thomas
as expected of a retard. Platformers which you need to gain your moves by exploration are Adventure-Platformers. SotN is not a new game and has already had an existing genre, slapping an Experience Bar on it changes nothing.
Ryder Morris
Wyatt Adams
Cry all you want, metroidvania is a genre label that exists and people use and you'll never be able to stop it
Carter White
That dude was just baiting. There's so much dispute over what a Metroidvania is even whether the genre should be called Metroidvania. It's easy to provoke argumentation over it.
I take a liberal view I guess because I consider classic Zelda's top-down view Metroidvanias since they have all the same sense of progression.
Liam Robinson
that's an unique list, i'll give you that
Henry Ward
>marrow
now this is epic
Daniel Perry
La Mulana is not good
Jeremiah Jenkins
correct. la mulana is not good, it's fantastic
Hudson Perry
This.
Brayden Moore
Add Night of Revenge
Gavin Johnson
that's fine I have enough image macros to make fun of short-bus riders for the next decade and I will. Every chance I get I will remind you how braindead you are
John Baker
>Platformers which you need to gain your moves by exploration are Adventure-Platformers
That is wrong.
Mason Smith
David Powell
Metroidvanias are just platformers for actual down syndrome mutants
>No focused level design
>Everything is piss easy
>Thrill comes from watching numbers go up like a boring JRPG and/or getting contextual upgrades that let you break walls you saw 3 hours ago
A Metroidvania is fun every once in a while but if you've played a couple of the big ones you've seen everything they have to offer
Ryan Walker
You are actually autistic.
Words (especially those that people invent to categorize something) end up having a broad meaning. Like "faschist" actually means one of a group of Italian politicians from 90 years ago, but everyone uses it to describe modern politics.
Easton Sanchez
What is this I don't even
Evan Brown
Evan Garcia
Someone kept pushing the "La Mulana is the best game ever" in Hollow Knight threads a long time ago to shit things up but the funniest part was he kept shilling Marrow by putting it on the list with the others.
Cameron Hernandez
>No focused level design
Some are not generated and have a good level design.
>Everything is piss easy
Those usually start harder and become more easy with each step.
>Thrill
No thrill.
Ian Robinson
Super Metroid and SotN are still the best ones, it's kind of worrying.
Jayden Flores
Retard
Caleb Torres
SotN isn't even the best in its franchise, let alone the genre.
Gavin Walker
You could say that about anything if you're a brute. Opera all sounds the same to a neanderthal. Also, Metroidvanias are not all easy. Hollow Knight, for example.
Your problem is that you don't have any friends and you're lonely so you pick fights on the internet for attention. Why don't you try learning how to suck your own dick instead of just being a faggot on Yea Forums?
Josiah Sullivan

Thomas Hughes
>Your problem is that you don't have any friends and you're lonely so you pick fights on the internet for attention
Projecting immediately invalidates your argument, Metroidvania brainlet
Caleb Wood
Not OP but Metroid is a Metroidlike, not a Metroidvania since it doesn't have stats like an RPG.
Ethan Gomez
Well, La-Mulana and its remake ARE the best metroidvanias out there. Hollow knight is great too but nowhere near as memorable.
Brody Torres
CotM. The rest were good but felt too easy
Anthony Cook
It's probably not the best one, but I freaking love Portrait of Ruin.
Lincoln Gray
>sorrow games that high
Dylan Miller
It's not, though.
Please do not be stupid on these premises.
Brayden Watson
Whatever helps you sleep at night
Cooper Scott
Super Castlevania IV
Bentley Young
Playing as axe knight was so much fun
Tyler Cook
>Super Metroid
I still laugh everytime someone say that game is anything more than okay at best.
So fucking overrated and nostalgia bias.
My older cousing let me played all the way back in the SNES era, before I even knew it was going to become such a massive meme, and the game was still just barely enjoyable.
I will give you the fact that if you like scifi stuff then it was one of the best games for that feel but aside from that theres nothing amazing about that game. I will even go as far to say that the GBA games were a thousand times better and I would understand if they got the same treatment, but Super Metroid was and still is pretty fucking mediocre.
