Are great MetroidvaniasAnd then there are games that are too frustrating for backward tracking or loss. Not every Metroidvania is a classic and even the main examples can be difficult to recommend to those who are in the genre. For example, Super metroid He still looks, plays and sounds great for the series, but it's not exactly user -friendly to help players progress.
What then Metroidvanias will be open to new players and still feel creative and not a walk in the park? These examples have a nice variety of their settings, characters and playing and should not miss. Hopefully, he will turn any unbelievers into a fan.
Axiom verge
Weapon around each corner
Axiom verge It is a large Metroidvania because it has solved one of the main problems of the genre: weapons. Diversity and speed at which players get them Axiom verge It is stunning, from typical sci-fi blasters to a drill.
Without revealing too much, there is also an element for playing the fourth wall, which will reveal a secret that is much more engaging. With a great look and soundtrack, it's just as good a place to start as any.
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Secret entry
Batman: Arkham Asylum was stunning several ways when he was released in 2009, first of all was that it was truly convincing Batman game. The reason could be a fight, an emphasis on secrecy or a story that was filled with actors from a cartoon of 90. It could also be the fact that it is Metroidvania in disguise and one of the few good examples in 3D.
Batman loses his equipment when he attacks into Arkham asylum, and slowly gets it as the story continues, like an explosive gel that can blow up the walls. For Batman Fans, it's a perfect game that immerses the tip into the Metroidvania genre.
Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist
Persoavania
Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist There is a somewhat recent example, and although it can be demanding in some places, the upgrade system can improve statistics. The big hook of the game allows the protagonist, Lilac, to bind robotic souls to her mind, which is something to be seen.
Instead of using Lilac physically, it summoned these souls and the like and Persona A game that is aligned with specific buttons. They can attack swords, weapons, or come out half -tilted and ready to break something into the ground.
Gato Roboto
Adorable and entertaining
For those who want to fall in love with the protagonist Metroidvania, look no look but a cat star Gato Roboto. Soon their owner will be ill, so players have to wear a mechanized suit instead, so the cat will look like Samus Aran Z Metroid series.
A standard suit is not the only one to find because they can also pilot the sub. Gato Roboto She is adorable, black and white aesthetics helps her stand out and it's not hyper-love, which can be good for children.
Knight Witch
Hell of Metroidvania
Knight Witch It is a recommendation for those who love the shooter from Hell. Instead of linear levels of levels, players will travel on a large map associated with larger biomes. Instead of the ship, they are a witch players who run on a broom and cast spells that can be learned and upgraded during the game.
Nature from the bullet may sound intimidating and at first it is difficult. It will be easier as soon as players get through the first blow, and then they treat them with something new and different.

Platform: DS
Monster's story I went through DS for having a generic box art and seemed to be focused on children. In fact, it is Metroidvania friendly to children, but that does not mean that players should refuse it. When a young girl named Ellie stumbles into the world of Monster, she hatches the creature that combines her with the name Chomp.
Players can fire enemies with Ellie magic bracelet, while Chomp automatically attacks enemies. Players can give a chomp to relax on the bottom screen to eat, stronger and evolve. It's something like Pokemon Metroidvania, which focuses only on an increase in one monster.
Steamworld Dig 2
If you have doubts, Pinky out
Steamworld Dig 2 It has the poorest gaming loop of any Metroidvania. Although there is a standard Metroidvania survey, there is also a lot of digging. Dorothy is a young female robot who can dig, collect materials and then sell them back to the city to get upgrades.
By limiting water supply and inventory, like most Steamworld Games, players often have to go back to the city and discard the gear while catching a drink. Recent Donkey Kong Bananza Fans can be biased.
Yok's Island Express
Go through the ball
The last example, Yok's Island ExpressIt combines Metroidvanias with tweezers. Yoku is a courier in the day that soon gets on the way to save his home, his only friend is a round stone.
Players can push it to solve puzzles or, most importantly, to enter tables similar to tweezers. It is a bizarre composition at first glance, but after a few tables it quickly becomes joy and the positive vibrations of the game are infectious.
