[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) Another vote for Hollow Knight. Also Super Metroid, Castlevania SOTN and Aria of Sorrow, Dark Souls, and La Mulana 1 & 2 permalink fedilink source hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] onlooker@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago Good picks, but I don't think Dark Souls qualifies as a metroidvania. Metroidvanias gate off parts of the map based on what abilities the player has/doesn't have, whereas Dark Souls blocks off parts of the map simply because you're missing a key. Also, Dark Souls doesn't really have ability power-ups with the exception of acquiring the Lordvessel. permalink fedilink source parent
