Metroidvania is a subgenre of video games focused on guided non-linearity and utility-gated exploration. The term, popularized by video game critic Jeremy Parish, is a portmanteau of Metroid and Castlevania.

I heard it was great for a long time but didn't pay much attention because I'm not really into the cute anime at style and setting. I finally picked it up when it was cheap recently and found some of the best gameplay that I've seen in a while. Plenty of exploration, tight controls, well balanced difficulty, everything a great game needs.
