“Iconoclasts is a very stable and well-made metroidvania, but it is extremely boring and the fight system is a simple "Press X to win", excluding interesting boss-fights, which are great.”

“Perfect sequel for a perfect game. Ori and the Will of the Wisps is bigger, better and more stunning than Ori and the Blind Forest. One of the best metroidvanias ever created.”

“Nothing better than classic platformer and metroidvania in one game, isn't it?”

“This is the GOTY-2021”

“The best metroidvania ever created. Right after Hollow Knight.”

“Sequel to an iconic game. And Psychonauts 2 is still a masterpiece, Tim Schafer have not forgot how to make great games. Probably, the best DoubleFine game so far.”

“Death's Gambit Afterlife brings more action to Death's Gambit world. Epic lore, awesome pixel art with some cute lil dragons. One of the best souls-like pixel games.”

“Much better than Mutant Mudds, but as independent game it is average metroidvania.”

“The best metroidvania mechanic that you can ever find. Pinball mixed with metroidvania level design makes Yoku's Island Express one of the best metroidvanias of this decade. Also, Yoku is very cute.”

“Ori and the Blind Forest: Definite Edition is the cooler edition of original Ori. More features, more ablities and new levels. Still good platformer with metroidvania aspects.”

“KUNAI is a short 6 hours of gameplay metroidvania with extremely rapid moves and cool soundtrack. If you want something like Hollow Knight, but you don't have free 20 hours - here you go with KUNAI.”

“Totally new experience. No real analogs to Hob. Unfortunately, it is the last game of Runic Studios, so please, pay respect to Runic and play Hob.”

“Axiom Verge is the very classic metroidvania, mostly like Metroid series with challenging enemies and huge bosses and ramified progress, where you can play as you like, excepting few obligatory items.”

“The cutiest and the moodiest metroidvania that you could ever find. Amazing world of little bugs, that are living in dramatic souls-like world. Bosses, locations, items - everything is 10/10. Play it.”

“This is what happens when you make wrong choices when creating metroidvania. Nothing new or interesting here. Not recommended, but if you are ok with bad metroidvanias - then try it.”

“Average metroidvania inspired by Dark Souls series. Nothing special. Very cheap game, that gives about 2-3 hours of content.”

“This episode of Momodora is an old-fashioned metroidvania with cute graphics and gloomy atmosphere of cursed kingdom. Approximately 5 hours of gameplay. A little of abilities, but easy difficulty.”

“It is something irrational in sphere of videogames. It looks like metroidvania and it have to be it. But it is not a really good metroidvania. Controls, especially jumps are bad and leveldesign sucks.”

“Outbuddies is extremely strange metroidvania. Controls, graphics and gameplay is different from other titles. It is 50% chance that you will like it. There is no great mechanics, that make you love it”

“Blasphemous is a bad game. Yes, its art is amazing, storyline is great, but as a game it is one of the worst metroidvanias. You would better watch it, not play it.”

“Short but extremely funny metroidvania. It took about 5 hours for 100%, but the action is never ending during these 5 hours. Not the best short metroidvania, but you should try it out.”

“Dust: An Elysian Tail features metroidvania with anime stylistics. As the visual design, the story takes place in fabulous world with anime dialogs and anime storyline. Battles are anime too, ofc.”

“Salt and Sanctuary probably is the best souls-like game in 2D. It gives you the exact feelings, that Dark Souls games gives you. Monstrous world, ton of enemies and huge difference of weapons.”

“Apotheon would be much better if it was a movie, or something like that. Gameplay in this metroidvania is so unfamiliar, that it becomes one of the hardest metroidvanias ever created.”

“Iris and the Giant is the brand-new card playing roguelite from Goblinz Studio. DIve into minimalistic world and slain every Iris enemy. Exciting storyline and not a new, but a solid gameplay.”

“This is one of the easiest roguelite with very smooth progression. Adorable visual style will make you love this game and difficulty can challenge players and make them enjoy without challenge as well”

“Playing with dices haven't been so breathtakingly before. You choose one from 7 completely different characters with completely different mechanics and then you go in completely funny dungeon.”

“Blend of different top hits in rogue-lite genre makes Bosorka a unique experience”

“Extremely short, but extremely fun. Disguisting, but on the other side it is very beautiful. A good game, but it is not a good game.”

“Still very buggy and empty at all. I can't recommend it, I hope something will change in the future. Refund.”

“Rift Wizard is non-casual classic roguelike. It really won't fit new players and casual players in this genre. If you are familiar with Dungeonmans, Dungeon Up, Rogue and other - you will love this”

“A Legendary one. There is no point to say much about it. Nuclear throne is a mastodon of roguelite games, that you should try. The all you have to remember is that Fish can roll.”

“Fast-pacened Slay The Spire-like card game with roguelite mechanics. Play through bullet-hell levels and do not forget to use your cards, or you will fail your adventure to Eden.”

“Risk of Rain 2 is probably the best 3D-roguelite and it is one of the truly best roguelites ever made. It offers you a great replayability, a ton of content, every month's updates and a cooperative.”
