No?

Hollow Knight is one of the better ones aside from being so drawn out with backtracking, but there are plenty worth playing.

>>381789752
La-Mulana is extremely solid. Avoid it if you don't like cryptic riddles though

>>381789752
Ori?

>>381789752

try ori, axiom verge, and environmental station alpha

Metroidvanias are my favorite type of game and I'm afraid I can't agree to this list.

I've played most of these, and Shadow Complex has been my favorite Metroidvania since SotN and Super Metroid. I'd definitely rather have that in the holy trinity over La-Mulana.

I'd also move Castle in the Darkness up a tier and Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet down one.

Also why is Dust here but Order of Ecclesia not? They have the EXACT same layout, so if one is considered a Metroidvania, the other must be to.

>>381792163
I haven't actually played Dust, is it segmented into different levels on a map screen like OoE? The list isn't totally based on my opinion.

>>381789752
La-Mulana is the pinnacle of metroidvanias and a massive brainlet filter.

How bad is the back tracking in the game? Is it like Super-Metroid bad where there's no teleporting but there's shortcuts?

Shadow Complex is very good and isnt even in the pic.

Vouching.

I even have it installed right now.

>>381792278
Yes. In fact they are so identical in map design I once got the memories of one confused with the other also doesn't help I played them around the same time.

>>381792431

It's hard as fuck but once you understand what to do it's extremely rewarding. Anyone who can say they beat this shit with minimal help (or none if you are a REAL GAMERRRRRRRRRRRR) is serious about metroidvanias.

Good luck vs. the bosses.

>>381791298
This list is spot on. Except new strider being so low; ill allow it cause its metroidvania-ness is not its strong suit but goddamn its a good action game

>>381789752
Ori and Axiom Verge for sure, maybe La Mulana if you like playing with a walkthrough open 24/7

>>381792789
Depends on your tolerance, I wasn't too bothered by it, but some people are. There is a system a lot like the teleporters in Castlevania, but the world is big and there's only so many of them. If you're just trying to finish the game it's probably not a problem, but if you're going for 100% you'll probably get sick of walking back to areas you've been to before. It's worth it though, great game.

>>381792791
It is on there, in Good Tier. It's been a long time since I played it so maybe I'll take another look and see if it should be moved up.

>>381792817
I'll have to remove it then.

>>381791162
rogue legacy is hardly a metroidvania

>>381792621
because all the "progressive" game developers are actually incredibly racist so the only black character they can come up with is a 70s style afro nigress

>>381792897
Baphomet and that Dio miniboss are huge pains

La-Mulana is a good game, but I think it gets hyped up way to much here. Yeah it is more heady and full of a lot reading to progress, but that's exactly why I think it doesn't succeed quite as well as Super or other top rated metroidvanias. It shouldn't have to do that, a well designed game shows you, it doesn't tell you. Maybe it's a preference thing, but I like games more like super were you just have to use spatial awareness and memory 100% of the time to progress; that's what i want out of a metroidvania, and I don't want anything to interrupt that.
Just like I found it really fucking obnoxious I had to download a app on a smartphone to scan a bar code to solve a puzzle in Fez. That's not the kind of game I like.

It is also not as solid as you think, not even in the most basic design points. In my first playthrough, I went into an area you cannot get out of unless you did something specific previously. That's the ultimate nono in metroidvania design. At no point in Castlevania did I accidentally walk down a path that required the double jump to leave, before I had or could access the double jump and then have to reset the game and load a previous save.

>>381791298
Strider '14 deserves to be at least one tier higher. Other than that, spot on.

>>381794141
>baww i don't like a game because it's not tailored according to my casual taste
Fuck off, the essence of metroidvanias is about investigating and solving puzzles.
Also, you can get out of every area in the game with some previous searching you lazy fag.

>>381794865
There is a trap in Temple of the Sun that you can get stuck in if you can't warp.

>>381792431
La-Mulana is barely a metroidvania. The level design is similar but the actual gameplay contains way too much puzzles, it doesn't play like a metroidvania at all. Doesn't stop it from being a fantastic game but you don't fucking go and recommend la-mulana to someone who wants more metroid after playing super or something.

nah fuck this shit

>>381795042
>There is a trap in Temple of the Sun that you can get stuck in if you can't warp.

Yup, you can get stuck in this game right at the start if you can't warp, which is an easily skippable ability to get. And considering how much text and exposition the game dumps at you from the start, I can imagine most people are just trying to GTFO of the starting area as quickly as possible so they can finally play the damn game, so it's easy to skip.

Come on, dude.

>>381796039
It's not really a metroidvania. Also, it is bad.

>>381791142
It looks impressive for a mobile game, but it's still ultimately a mobile game. I'm not sure if it'll play that well.

Megaman ZX is amazing but the map on the bottom screen is shit. Also Aile a cute. The best Megaman after Trigger.
