I haven’t played a Metroidvania in a while and I’m looking for suggestions of some good ones to try. Some I would recommend:

Ender’s: Lilies (Magnolias is good too, but play Lilies first. The setting and theme hits better.)

Ori and the Blind Forest / Will of the Wisps (Will of the Wisps did bring a tear to my eye)

Monster Sanctuary (a creature capture metroidvania)

Any system is good, interested to hear of other good ones that are out there.

    The generational part might be true. The Castlevania games I grew up with were no “metroidvanias” so the name is doubly silly to me.

        Mostly Snes for me. Ironically Simons quest for nes I’d actually consider a search action game, but the game was quite the outlier from the normal level based linear Castlevania games and not very popular.
