I haven't played a Metroidvania in a while and I'm looking for suggestions of some good ones to try. Some I would recommend:

Ender's: Lilies (Magnolias is good too, but play Lilies first. The setting and theme hits better.)

Ori and the Blind Forest / Will of the Wisps (Will of the Wisps did bring a tear to my eye)

Monster Sanctuary (a creature capture metroidvania)

Any system is good, interested to hear of other good ones that are out there.

Batman: Arkham Asylum. It doesn't come up a lot, because only that first game is a metroidvania and Arkham City might be most people's favorite in the series, but it absolutely counts. I love Arkham combat. It's better in the sequels due to some slight tweaks in game feel, but that combat in a metroidvania is just excellent, and the game is just so well paced. It's a shame what WB did to that studio.

    I loved the scarecrow sequences in that. I would love to play more games the effectively fuck with player but it's very difficult to look for without spoiling yourself and then you're expecting it.
