Souls-like is such an uninspired name for a genre. Metroidvania is much better in that regard.

I agree; but I also can't help but remember how long it took for "ARPG" to be coined and we stopped calling everything a "Diablo-clone." Or how we still refer to things similar to Rogue as rogue likes. Do we, as gamers, just... Suck at naming things? 🤔

To be fair, naming things is hard.
