It is most definitely a metroidvania. I got a free copy included in a Xbox 360 pack-in a number of years ago and decided to give it a try. I was incredibly impressed with how great the world design was, and how much they expected you to pay attention and backtrack. It’s not without its flaws, but it scratches that itch for a 3D metroidvania, since Metroid Prime was over at the time this game was released.

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.
