So, you had ESA, which was good. But then you also had Rabi-Ribi, and Momodora, and Guacamelee, and Axiom Verge, and none of those were really good metroidlikes.
Why the hell does this game get so much praise?

ESA and Rabi-Ribi are excellent. I put them on par with Hollow Knight.
Momodora was great.
Bloodstained was great.
La-Mulana 2 was great.
And while it's not a metroidvania/metroidlike, let's just throw in Rain World there as well for good measure.
