Metroidvania

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.

This is a cloned community from Reddit. I intend to hand over mod support to the original mods should they choose to migrate to Lemmy.

Simple, reply with your top 3 MVs, and feel free to edit it as time goes on! I'll pin this to the channel until it becomes difficult to parse!

Example:

  1. Super Metroid
  2. Metroid Dread
  3. Symphony of the Night

(these aren't my top 3)

Feel free to elaborate on why or keep it simple! My top 3 changes quite frequently.

  1. Hollow Knight
  2. Aeterna Noctis
  3. Grime

Sometimes I want to take Hollow Knight out of my top 3 but I've replayed it around 4x times and it's easy to see why it's so popular. It just has so much attention to detail that other MVs lack even if they are very good. I tend to not want to include it because I'm hoping others branch out to discover all the other MVs out there.
