Nah, I love metroidvanias but the rouge likes and sandbox titles we had this year were in another level of quality. And to be honest, Nine Sols is good, but kinda overrated by the metroidvania community due the lack of good entries in the genre in the last couple of years.
@@spewberg Nine Sols isn't just one of the best metroidvanias out there, it's also one of the best soulslikes as well. It should've been nominated at least
i hate nine sols so much, just gotta get that off my chest. beating eidong true ending was a waste of my time. it's just a frustratingly hard game that people like to praise as a way to stroke their egos. similar to how gamers often defend their honour with "yeah, i've played elden ring". the story/dialogue was cringe and annoying, the world / level design / exploration totally uninspired, and the combat certainly isn't as masterful as sekiro at balancing challenge and frustration. they looked at souls games and did the classic "we can make a hard game too!"
Has to be 9 sols, I have played a few of these but 9 sols is hollow knight plus sekiro! As good as that could ever possibly be. I wish I could play it for the first time again…
I recommend The Mobius Machine (released March 2024). It was excellent. Sci-fi metroidvania with fun combat, great platforming, tons of hidden areas/paths, and extremely fun boss battles. I don't think this one got a lot of attention. Highly recommend it.
This list should include Mobius Machine, Rebel Transmute, Moonlight Pulse, Noreya, BioGun, and Voidwrought. Remove Kong, Tales of Kenzera, Frontier Hunter and Gestalt.
for BO PATH OF THE TEAL LOTUS the last 4 boss are true nightmares non stop jump and aerial attacks during several minutes enough to give you a nervous breakdown
played nine sols and than bo path of teal lotus. both are amazing! but i do enjoy bo's movement way more! also way better paced when it comes to obtaining abilities.
Some great games on your list! I tried Frontier Hunter (picked it up on sale a while back) and just couldn't get into it, the story was....weird and kinda hard to follow. Normally I don't really care too much about the story but in this game it almost interferes with the flow of the game, at least IMO. The combat was good, though, I'll give you that. Awaken Astral Blade is awesome, been playing it a lot lately. Spirit of the Samurai looks amazing, I was really surprised at how fluid the combat was given the graphic style, I played the (way too short) demo a couple f times, definitely wishlisted. One that I never see talked about that has some of the most amazing pixel graphics I have seen plus great combat is Foregone. Its a few years old so maybe it just has fallen off the radar the last couple of years.
I Apologies for any inconvenience caused by the use text to speech on my channel. Since I’m not a full-time TH-camr, I rely on text to speech to save time and avoid exhaustion from balancing content creation with my primary job. In the past, I’ve got burnout when trying to create videos while managing my main job. However, thank you for your kind words.
@ActionGameStation please do not feel the need to apologise and appreciate that you need a work life balance. My comment was just meant to be constructive. I'll continue to watch and like your videos as I do enjoy the content. Wishing you all the best.
"If you haven't heard of Frontier Hunter Erza's Wheel of Fortune, you might want to give it a try. Honestly, i think this game is super underrated. It's kind of surprising that not many people play it. Maybe because the mais character is a girl?" Man, i like the work you do, but i can't believe you went there. Do you really believe that gamers pass on a game because the main character is a girl!? Do you really believe gamers care about that? I've been playing video games for at least 40 years, and I don't know anyone who hasn't played a game because the main character is a girl.
My favorite was Crypt Custodian followed by Mini Shot Adventures. They were very fun to play. Nine Sols and Animal Well are okish, but I think people are overrating they. Momodora is also ok. Ultros and Gestalt I droped in the early game. I found they boring.
Ah, I played Bo too. I droped in that fight against the giant, I was geting boring with the game, felt that there's no much to explore and it's not like the story was good enough to make me want to see how it ends. But it's a ok game too, the moviment is quite fun, although I had some issues with the level design.
I feel like Nine Sols is kinda overrated, great combat sure but thats pretty much it. On the other hand The Lost Crown is an MV masterpiece, with great exploration, amazing platforming and really good combat. I still have Nine Sols 2nd obviously but i think The Lost Crown is a much more complete game that its peaks reach games like Metroid Dread.
That's an ignorant comment saying that somebody's not playing because the character is a girl... There are several on here that the main character is a girl. Ignorant
Can you believe this AI voice? This viewer is so put out by AI voice that he stopped watching video. Some viewers think that if you can't be bothered to put effort into AI voice videos, they can't be bothered to watch.
Nine sols is overrated. The combat is jank because hitboxes linger so even if you dodge you still get hit sometimes. It's another case of a brutally difficult game getting praised to the high heavens because people are masochistic. Story is also super mid, there's literally hours of dialogue and reading in this and none of it is good. Music also sucks hard, but at least visuals are nice
That game is not about doging, and those attacks you supposed to dodge you dodge out of the way, so there is no hitbox there. There are couple of hitboxes which start behind attack animation, but apart of that they are pretty good. The other two complaints are too subjective. I personally didn't find story and music amazing or bad (though beats at duo boss are sick), but I was there for the gameplay, which is excellent.
totally agree. as a sekiro fan i thought it'd be for me, but the parry timing was way less forgiving than sekiro, and attacks were less telegraphable due to the style of animation. to the point of frustration. then you have the level design and exploration which was lacklustre. all tied together with dialogue written by redditors. yoku's island express sheets all over nine sols.

AI voiceover videos are so lifeless
So are AI comments
This ain't shyt, you should hear my Ex. OMG
Who gives a shit I'm here for the games. It's literally just a list might as well be a Word document
Womp womp
I stopped at 38 seconds because of that
Nine Sols not being nominated for indie game of the year is a huge crime.
Those game awards are a fuzz, I don't believe in them anymore
It's because of China.

Just finished nine sols, don’t know what to do with my life and all the other games just don’t make me wanna play them after nine sols
Has to be 9 sols, I have played a few of these but 9 sols is hollow knight plus sekiro! As good as that could ever possibly be. I wish I could play it for the first time again…
Agree..i just finished it yesterday.
I enjoyed it more than HK honestly
Prince of Persia thumbs up 👍 (my #1)
Nine sols is amazing
Nine Sols is not only the MV of the year, but one of the best MVs ever.
Where is the void wrought? It was in the thumbnail but i did not find in the video.
It should be on the list instead of some games on the list.
I recommend The Mobius Machine (released March 2024). It was excellent. Sci-fi metroidvania with fun combat, great platforming, tons of hidden areas/paths, and extremely fun boss battles. I don't think this one got a lot of attention. Highly recommend it.
9 sols is peak like it’s probably becoming one of top favorites games I’m enjoying so far
Another superb list - a great big thank you for sharing!
Great video!! Thanks! 😊
This list should include Mobius Machine, Rebel Transmute, Moonlight Pulse, Noreya, BioGun, and Voidwrought. Remove Kong, Tales of Kenzera, Frontier Hunter and Gestalt.
when i see the opening i already think that nine sols gonna be the top three. after i see number 3 then i already think nine sols gonna be the winner
for BO PATH OF THE TEAL LOTUS the last 4 boss are true nightmares non stop jump and aerial attacks during several minutes enough to give you a nervous breakdown
Nine sols is WONDERFUL, a solid 9/10 for me. Probably in my top 3 Metroidvania from all time
@guizeko What would be the other two in your top 3?
@ hollow knight nº1. And third I can’t decide between blasphemous 2, ori and the blind forest, dead cells
Dead cells not a metroidvania
@ yes it is 🤣🤣🤣
the best metroidvania for 2024 is either Biomorph, Mobius machine or biogun
Sorry but it is absolutely sacriligous to put Mobius Machine over Nine Sols.
Minishoot adventures is amazing
Its super good, underrated for sure
I will buy after image, looks great
Of the mvs that were released in 2024, so far, to me Voidwrought has to get my vote
What's the game shown at 0:19? Is that the same as the Erza one from the list?
Great video need to try some of these…..BUT Animal Well rocks! Great game even if some of the puzzles are a bit obscure
Came to see if Nine Sols got top spot. /nod
Erza is anime as heck and I'm all for it.
Very good! Thanks
I think this is the first AI voice video I've actually enjoyed. Great list! Nine Sols is super underrated.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nine Sols got extremely positive reception and was financially successful. How is it underrated?
@@johanandersson8646 Well for one it didn't get a single nom at the Game Awards in any category
@@meowzzies It's a metroidvania! A genre that has a very small following. You can't expect stuff like that even from the very best metroidvanias.
played nine sols and than bo path of teal lotus. both are amazing! but i do enjoy bo's movement way more!
also way better paced when it comes to obtaining abilities.
I gave you subscribe bcoz u put the order precisely 👍 NINE SOLS IS THE BEST MV 2024 👍👍👍👍
Thankyouuu 😭

I heard Nine Sols is the choice. I also heard Nine Sols is so difficult as to be unreachable for some?
can u recommend any metroidvania game coop local for two playes at least?
that gestalt maybe awesome for 2 coop local e.e
Anima Flux . you can also check my co-op metroidvania list in my channel
Coincido con el Top. el primero lo estoy jugando y se siente muy pulido y perfecto
Would be a pretty good channel without the AI voiceover. Hell I'd even do the voiceover if i had the script.

I don’t remember ever seeing gestalt dropping on ps4.
Hello, what is the name of the game with the hooded character miniature?
you mean on thumbnail? is Voidwrought
@ActionGameStation thanks friend
good videogames thanks fo the video
You missed Laika which is awesome metroidvania.
Laika was released in 2023, and this list features the best Metroidvania games released in 2024.
@ You are correct. I thought it was at beginning of 2024. Thank you!
this was not the future we were promised
Thinking of getting nine sols
Great thought, you'll love this game, as soon as you understand the combat system. The visuals and music are great also. Good luck😁
Love nine sols

BTW, i agree with you, Frontier Hunter Erza's Whell of Fortune is an amazing game, and I wish more people played it.
🤣
you forgot the best one man BIOGUN is waaaaay better than every game on here....
I really loved biogun but it's not even close to nine sols and prince of Persia
As a Biologist and a MV lover... I found it extremely disappointing. Lame enemies, far from optimised, cheesable bosses... Pretty bad.
My favorite was Crypt Custodian followed by Mini Shot Adventures. They were very fun to play.
Nine Sols and Animal Well are okish, but I think people are overrating they. Momodora is also ok.
Ultros and Gestalt I droped in the early game. I found they boring.
Ah, I played Bo too.
I droped in that fight against the giant, I was geting boring with the game, felt that there's no much to explore and it's not like the story was good enough to make me want to see how it ends.
But it's a ok game too, the moviment is quite fun, although I had some issues with the level design.
Prince of persia is the goat
Nine sols!!
the turbo kid nintendo eshop game is not coming out
Some of these games are not on Switch even though you list them as being on the Switch
Turbo Kid is not on Switch.
I feel like Nine Sols is kinda overrated, great combat sure but thats pretty much it. On the other hand The Lost Crown is an MV masterpiece, with great exploration, amazing platforming and really good combat.
I still have Nine Sols 2nd obviously but i think The Lost Crown is a much more complete game that its peaks reach games like Metroid Dread.
hollow knight = 10, nine sols= 9. A good game but it didnt get much attention it deserved
Where comix zero 😢 ??
Tales of Kenzera was meh at best...
And what's up with the PoP gameplay ? 80% of what you showed isn't in the game
Blasphemous Dlc Mea Culpa :V
That's an ignorant comment saying that somebody's not playing because the character is a girl... There are several on here that the main character is a girl. Ignorant
Gestalt are not on console

AI 🤮
Text to speech bro 🥴
This has to be AI right because otherwise this is the most boring content creator I've ever listened to
Me boring too :(
U forgot about best Metroidvania game
Hollow knight
Maybe you skip the intro, or not read the title bro
HK bro's at it again showing their negative IQ
Nine sols is overrated. The combat is jank because hitboxes linger so even if you dodge you still get hit sometimes.

Agreed, I dont much care for it myself
It's all a matter of opinion and taste... But mate! You have a terrible opinion and taste! 😁
totally agree. as a sekiro fan i thought it'd be for me, but the parry timing was way less forgiving than sekiro, and attacks were less telegraphable due to the style of animation. to the point of frustration. then you have the level design and exploration which was lacklustre. all tied together with dialogue written by redditors. yoku's island express sheets all over nine sols.
