Journey to the savage planet

Thread resurrected :)

Well, recently I was pleasantly surprised by Sundered - Eldritch edition.
It is a great metroidvania game, with some twists.

The world is laid out in a huge map which is revealed as you progress. There's the standard backtracking that you do when you get abilities to reach previously inaccessible areas.

The general map is always the same, except that inner areas change their structure each time you die, but without ruining the original placing of things. The great thing is that areas are not procedurally generated, only the structure of their inner sections.

From time to time you get waves of enemies coming at you, which you fight in a very fluid (and addictive!) style using mainly your sword.

Boss fights are awesome and very well designed.

Also there's a huge upgrade tree where you choose upgrade paths at your own liking.

To be honest, I was hesitant to play it because many people were put off by getting swarmed by lots of enemies simultaneously, but when you get the hang of it things become easily doable and most importantly fun! I am glad I gave it a chance, it is probably the greatest game I played last year.

It's on GOG too and it's a linear platformer.
Seek Etyliv is a puzzle game with roguelike elements. Enemies only react to your movement, which is tile-based. In Dungeon mode, once you die you have to start again.

Have nearly finished Magicians and Looters:

Its not bad as a metroidvania, can be quite funny, and is solid. No grinding, you need to find orbs to level up.

“Similarly a Metroidvania-Roguelike-Souls sort of thing, but with a different approach. It's much more Metroidvania, where you don't lose your upgrades when you die and the entire map doesn't randomize on each run. But the neat thing is that while the major points of interest like bosses and upgrades stay in the same place, the paths connecting them are randomized every time you die. So you still have to do a bit of exploring to get around even when you've already explored the whole map.”

https://metroidvaniareview.com/other-resources/

Thanks for the info. I was feeling to play a Metroidvania game a while back and checked this thread. Amazing list and info.
Definetly gonna check it later. :)

I want to claim the great game Unepic is. Probably it is one of the bests metroidvania games ever made. One day, in the future I am going to fund those talented catalans to make a sequel or something similar.
