Cairn may not be for everyone, because every second is spent making a calculated decision or else you'll meet death. Yet, it is a very rewarding experience if you're able to brave it. With fun climbing, paths to go on, and story about trying to feel at peace with yourself.

@scary_monstrs I love Dead Cells. It’s all time indie for me. Despite it drawing elements from the metroidvania genre I personally wouldn’t throw it amongst these. As it’s a fast pace roguelike where you dash towards your goal. Whereas these want you to take time to explore.

That's cool. Anyways here's my top 50 metroidvanias as of right now. One of my favorite video game genres , and before anyone asks the lowest rated game on the list is an 8/10. Only three metroidvanias disappointed me and they didn't make the list. Love 'em all.

同じメトロイドヴァニア愛好家としてLaika: Aged Through Bloodを強くお勧めしておこう

@Anonymous7885 Carrion, Salt & Sacrifice, Afterimage. Carrion was okay, but not as great as some of my friends hyped it up to be. Salt and Sacrifice was messy, and to me Afterimage was kinda boring. Generic world that was uninteresting, and I dropped after five hours.
Pseudo is great though!

@typicalf001 I'm pretty picky with metroidvanias, but Pseudoregalia is definitely up there for me. What were the three disappointments?
English
@typicalf001 Team cherry makes damn good games huh my s tier would be silksong ,endermagnolia,hollowknight
English
@dorier_n Mio is a 9/10. Excellent game. If I were just ranking the indie metroidvanias I’ve played then it would be higher.
English
@typicalf001 Mio so low??? Naaah lost crown is great but there's no way mio is so far under.

@Eve_6_2_6_2 No, but I’m gonna write that down and look it up later. Name’s interesting.

@typicalf001 have you played arum:8doors? thought it was p good, rought around the edges but appreciable for what it is
English
@DatAmethystTho Nine Sols is a masterpiece so you’re off to a good start. The Blasphemous games are amazing and personally I really love Ender Lilies and Magnolia.
English
@typicalf001 Do you have recommendations for games that are similar in gameplay responsiveness to HK? I didn't enjoy Silksong and I've started Nine Sols but me and my friends are doing a "first time" rando and that was the game I chose so I haven't done it vanilla yet
English
@Bosshog2015 Game was better than it had any right to be. Shame what happened to the team who made it.
English
@typicalf001 That prince of Persia game is so underrated. I wish it got the recognition it deserves
English
@spider_monkiy Ori is good. It’s just I don’t think about it that much compared to the other ones.
English
@typicalf001 Messenger, Dandara, Gato Roboto and Animal Well? And you even added Salt and Sanctuary. You know ball, Im really invested on what you have to say about Ori, It was the pacing or smth like that you didn't like?
English
@ConstanceGame I will buy your game.
It looks awesome.
Trust me.
English
@Exfr0w Yes it is. I’d go as far as to say it’s a much better game with refined design and systems. Story is the first is better in my opinion, but Magnolia is a worthy sequel. One of my top ten games of 2025.
English
@Un1d_ Honestly, yeah. I don’t think it’s bad and I respect what the team were trying to do. It’s just meshing metroidvanias, Dark Souls, and Monster Hunter led to really weird design choices, difficulty spikes, and repetition I didn’t really feel playing the first game.
English
@typicalf001 Was Salt & Sacrifice one of the games that disappointed you? It did didappoint me at launch, but I recently came back to it and found it much more enjoyable
English
@MannCurrywurst It is exquisite. Super fun playing them back to back
English
@typicalf001 Good to see Guacamelee. Great OST and atmosphere. Like proper Metroidvanias need
