      This list is great and all but it has some niche picks (as someone who has played a ton of metroidvanias those niche picks are actually the ones I'm looking for) but u can play whatever u like in the genre. hollow knight is where I would recommend any newcomer to start with if u haven't played it yet, it's one of the longest metroidvanias if not the longest, so u can indulge urself into the vast world it offers and it will tighten ur love for the genre.

  • @k1rbyguy

    If you've played a lot of 2D Metroid, then you'll probably love Axiom Verge. My favorite thing about the game is that it'll do that thing where you can't go a certain direction because you can't crawl through a small space, and you think to yourself, "Oh, I need the morph ball equivalent," but the game never gives you a morph ball. Most of the times when you know how Samus would get through an obstacle, Axiom Verge subverts your expectations and gives you a completely different power to do the job. It seems intentionally designed to surprise Super Metroid fans, and I love it.

    I'd like to suggest also Shantae Risky's Revenge (old but recently come out on Switch) and Shantae and the pirate's curse, especially the latter. I suggest also to play Wonder Boy 3: dragon's trap, the remake of the original dragon's trap. And I remind you that there is a couple of the original Metroid available of the Online and that Wonder Boy in Monster World is one of the games contained in Sega Mega Drive classics.
    For what concerns the list of the video, the only one I played but I could not get into is La-Mulana (but the first one): too articially difficult! I have played Hollow Knight, so I don't consider myself a complete noob in the genre, but in La-Mulana the bosses attack you without doing any move, it is impossible to predict the attack! In fact I can't beat the boss battle in which you are on the cart and the monster is running behind you, because it accelerates without any possible forewarning! I can't attack it without being attacked in turn (and it hurts). I don't know, too frustrating.

    The only thing fresh or new about the Metroidvania genre is it actually having a name that everyone recognizes. Incidentally, if you love the genre and want something old and vastly over looked, check out a game called Guardian Legend for the original NES. You're not likely to find it outside of PC emulation but, the game is pure gold.
