Character/movement progression, stomping all over beginning areas late game.

Isaac Gonzalez
My favourite is the La Mulana remake still

It needs boss fights, power ups, a reason to back track and use those power ups. Needs hidden areas/loot to find. I think the big thing is atmosphere and a continuous map. As much as I love Shantae that's just a platformer and not a metroidvania.
Lincoln Thomas
Its linearity strongly diminishes its standing as a metroidvania, definition.
Andrew Murphy
definitely* not definition, christ
Thomas Hernandez
Rabi-ribi is great
Other than that I've played Guacamelee but don't remember anything about it, and Xeodrifter is short but fun
Jack Jackson
I'm citing the obvious one, but Hollow Knight is really good.
And I guess nailed it for the most part. Exploration and discovery is also a huge factor. For example, as a child Sector 2 of Metroid Fusion blew my mind. The game gives you the "official" maps of the sector, and then you find out that it's only the tip of the iceberg.

Found the pedo.
Gavin Perez
Found the twat
Nathan Powell
Great game but holy shit do they need to dump the loli garbage. Pirated it just because I don't want it showing up on my Steam profile.

>As much as I love Shantae that's just a platformer and not a metroidvania
This is objectively untrue since Half Genie Hero while still fun is the worst in the series.
Adrian Smith
I really enjoyed that and La-mulana 2 but could't clear them without spoilers.
Robert Harris
The best Shantae is the one that was the least Shantae-esque game in the series.
Carson Lee
KATAM isn't talked about enough, and I should revisit it. sotn is great but I'm starting to think Aria might be better imo.
Also I was inspired enough by metroidvanias to try and make my own. Here's 6 keys:
pastebin.com
(pastebin because I hear bots can take keys, but it's never happened to my own when I've done this before.)
Joshua Rogers
Axiom Verge
Environmental Station Alpha
La Mulana
Ori
An Elysian Tail if it counts, but its barely a metroidvania really
Cave Story (but also too linear to be a true metroidvania, like AET or metroid fusion)
Bunch more I cant remember
Bloodstained cv3 clone
Odallyus the dark call or w/e it was
Slain if that counts but I wouldn't count it
Does Rain World count? It has the exploration and discovery part down, but not the rest of it isn't metroidvania. But it really is a great game. But more of a exploration/discovery platformer (Think oddworld abes exodus / flashback / heart of darkness / another world, rather than metroid or SotN)
Anthony Diaz
metroidvanias only work if there's battle sex, so you're motivated not to fuck up
Julian Sanders
that's a motivation to lose, dumbass
Luke Walker
AM2R
Ryan Kelly
Rain World counts
Zachary Johnson
Mech Chip, eh? I'll give it a try then. Thanks, user
Easton Gutierrez
Thanks user. Looks like shit. I'll be sure to run it in the background long enoug to make it look like I've played it and leave a negative review.
Xavier King
porn games ruined metroidvanias for me
sex was always a great plus side to them but normal ones don't have any
Justin Stewart
La-mulana is the best metroidvania
Dylan Carter
finally some excitement in my life
Blake Miller
he saids on steam, bro
Isaiah Thomas
post some porn metroidvanias
Blake Myers
based fellow RabiChad
Caleb Perry
Kurovadis (finished)
Unholy Disaster (finished)
Night of Revenge (unfinished but reliably updated)
Alien Quest Eve (unfinished and will likely never be finished)
Aaron Cook
Enviromental Station Alpha was pretty great.
Also Ante Chamber. It' s not REALLY a metroidvania, but it felt like one.
Alexander Morgan
>What metroidvanias have you enjoyed, Yea Forums?
Only the OP image said on steam.
Nevertheless, a game you can get without a launcher is better than one you need a launcher for, no?
Oliver Cook
I agree entirely but OP and most of the dumb fucks on this website wouldn't go download AM2R, and if they would, why wouldn't they just play one of the 20+ Super Metroid romhacks or a SotN randomizer or SM randomizer?
Ayden Fisher
Fuck I forgot Eroico and, arguably the best, Forest of Blue Skin
Lincoln Rivera
Knytt Underground is great if you just like chill exploration.
Luke Flores
shantae
toki tori

truly underrated:
valdis story: abyssal city
shadow complex
insanely twisted shadow planet
castle in the darkness
rain world (survival/platform/exploration)
Thomas Johnson
It's been so long since I've played a porn game. Last one was Parasite in City, I believe. I suppose I could try some of these out myself.
Adam Flores
valdis story
Liam Green
I really like Momodora and I'm looking forward to Minoria. Seems like they'll (probably) be announcing the release date at BitSummit.
Jeremiah Carter
I quite liked Environmental Station Alpha, same guy that made BABA IS YOU.
Dylan Jenkins
METROIDVANIA IS NOT A REAL GENRE
YOU'RE A PLATFORMER IN A DRESS
David Carter
Axiom Verge was good, but damn did the final boss suck dick.
Caleb Richardson
is steamworld dig 1 good?
Luke Perry
Actually the correct term is action adventure.
Evan Myers
Can someone recommend an anime looking metrodovania?
Julian Reed
It's already been mentioned. Can't go any more anime then this.
Asher Stewart
how sexual is it?
Jason Cook
Played it already any other one
John Richardson
A bit. The fanservice is not really strong though, but many girls are definitely lightly clothed. But it's more cute rather then outright sexual.
Ayden Turner
Well there's also the sequel that will come....eventually?
I also keep hearing good things about Touhou Luna Nights.
