I’ve got a bit of a fixation on Metroidvania games right now so I’m hoping you guys can give me some recommendations of good ones I’ve not played yet, the ones I’ve finished so far are (at least the ones I can remember):
Hollow Knight
Guacamelee 1, 2 and STCE
Blasphemous 1 and 2
Salt and Sanctuary/Sacrifice
Ender Lillies: Quietus of the Knights
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
The Last Faith
Dead Cells (more of a rogue-like I guess)
Axiom Verge 1 and 2
The Messenger
F.I.S.T: Forged In Shadow Torch
Greak: Memories of Azur
Strider
Indivisible
These are mostly well known ones but are there lesser known ones that are really good? Let me know your favourites please!

I can heartily recommend Astalon: Tears of the Earth, it’s an underappreciated gem and a wonderful throwback for those of us who grew up in the NES era.
Record of Lodoss War-Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth, infernax, and souldiers are all fantastic takes on the genre.
Grime - gritty, alien-like setting
Ghost Song - a lot like metroid
Symphony of the Night + Rondo of Blood Castlevania collection. That’s where you should go next. It is often not that expensive, but I do forget the normal price. I think I got it on sale for $10 a ways back.
Symphony is incredible and is what inspired Bloodstained (and was made by the same creator as Bloodstained). The music fucking rips in that game. Secrets galore as well.
So there is this league of legends 2d game. I forgot the the name. I don’t know anything about lol but this game is pretty good.
Yoku’s island express it’s a sort of pinball metroidvania and it’s excellent.
I really enjoyed Timespinner
The gameplay can be a little clunky at times though
Idk if it’s on PlayStation but Shantae and the Pirate’s curse is a solid metroidvania.
Castlevania Symphony of the Night on the original playstation is one of the games that pioneered the whole genre and it still holds up today
Shantae and the Seven Sirens is good too.
Castlevania Advance Collection.
La-Mulana, if you’re already battle-hardened.
I also heard good things about Deedlit in Wonderland, maybe that’s to your liking.
