#bestgame #metroidvania #bestofalltime - Hry
Metroid was so great, an entire genre was named after it. Absolutely epic
True, hollow knight just did everything better, love dread too btw
@@neme6ben
Nah
Not “Everything” don’t be blind by your love of the game
One of the major negatives of Hollow the reward system in it unlike Metroid where in every corner you will explore you be rewarded with immediate missile pack or energy tank that will help you getting stronger it’s not the case in Hollow because some of the things you find are worthless until you know it’s purpose
The pacing in Metroid Games (Super Fusin, Zero Mission, Dead) are better then all of the MetroidVanias including Hollow Knight
And lastly how fast and flowed your movement is are better too in Metroid games
Hollow knight is a good game but there are some negatives in it that prevent it from being perfect and it didn’t innovate much it lives and the shadows of Symphony and Super like most of the Metroidvania not a single game I have played from this genre break through or cracked the magic of the those two games or innovate something different from this formula
@@TinkerGrapesymphony of the night literally has one of the worst balancing(literally just mindlessly bonk anything at a certain point, was still fun because of Alucard's slick animation), and the inverted castle was just not very fun to explore because it was literally a reskin to the normal castle with a twist being inverted, it was cool for like 20 minutes but the fact that it was as long as the first castle just made it very tedious
Just can't think of anything that symphony did better for hollow knight mechanically speaking since we really can't judge about who has better music and art direction(which is pretty insane a ps1 game that started the genre can still somehow compete on some degree to the pinacle of the genre currently)
But from combat, enemy variety, bosses, story, lore and most importantly level design I think hk sweeps any of the genre
as far I can see your the one blinded by love here bud, no comments about super metroid though, I haven't finished the game yet(played fusion first and it was amazing, lot of people just keep saying super metroid is objectively better than fusion so i have high expectations)
No no, that's only half true, but the game credited with establishing the genre is from Castlevania which is the other half of the naming for the genre
@@TinkerGrapenah that's just a personal preference. hollow knight is a lot more punishing, good items are harder to find and i'm all in for that
HollowKnight is one of the best game I've ever played period. It's up there is the greatest games ever made imo
No
Agreed
Nice list! I truly enjoyed Iconoclast and Cave Story plus too!
After watching so many lists, I find this one to be the most accurate. Putting a few on my to-do's
Thank you ^^
I'm playing Prince of Persia right now and it's an amazing game. The combat mechanics are so fun and exploring the huge map is never boring.
The classics are: castlevania: SOTN, super Metroid.
The Contemporary are: hollow knight, Ori and the will of the whisps, Metroid dread.
Exactly what I was looking for, best games, fresh titles to buy and try. Thank you! +1 subscriber 😊
Great list, thanks
Metroid Fusion, Axiom Verge, Aria of Sorrow, The Messenger. Just off the top of my head these are the most deserving omissions.
Nah, Metroid Fusion is too linear.
Axiom verge was listed.
Fantastic list
Damn good list. Good job including Super Metroid, Dread and Hollow knight in the top 5. The Ori games never worked for me for some reason.. I’ll check them out again. I’d probably include a Castlevania from Nintendo DS like Order of Ecclesia, imo they’re some of the best and fun to play castlevanias made. Carrion was also short but excellent.
What i like most on symphony of the night , hollowknight and some others is the : „surprise feeling „ if you evolve something so crazy new in the world … mirrored castle , extremely weird world mechanics , availability use .
Your top 5 is 100% accurate. The 5 greatest games of the genre!
Ori 2 and Dread are my personal favorites!
Great Video. Good games👍, thx.
Oh, worth noting aboout Salt & Sanctuary is that the dev studio previously made The Dishwasher games as well as Charlie Murder. Both good games and you can see the overlap in combat design there.
I wish those games were avaiable to play on the xbox one or series s/x
A VERY good list. I would swap some of the placements but overall you captured The best of the best.
Thank you ^^
A good list but as a metroid fan ill swap super metroid at no.2 and metroid dread no.1. But over all excellent list not in my favorite order but excellent list
Hollow knight is definitely the best game on this list, Super Metroid and the Dread are close second’s
Super metroid didn't look that fun at all, outdated too
@@Coolkid4205 if you played it back in the day when it came out you’d have probably liked it. It’s a masterpiece
@@Coolkid4205it changed the genre. Play it.
Just finished Ender Lilies and the game is awesome. I am really looking forward for the sequel
Really glad to see Shantae and Grime on this list! Grime especially, i love that alien body horror world. Not many other worlds full of monsters where you also *play* as a clear monster that i can think of aside from Clash: Artifacts of Chaos.
Both have beautiful music too.
Where it concerns Metroidvanias, i've only ever played Cookie Cutter, yet nonetheless i had a good time with that one! Awesomely animated lawless Cyberpunk Sci-Fi planet with creatures ranging from robot skeletons with afros to tentacle monsters born from space whale meat to Hindu demons and more. The maker of it hopes to support it in substantial ways for a long time to come.
Play symphony of the night
Great list. If you allow me, I'd suggest Greak and Souldiers to your list. Amazing games! See ya
List starts off strong, between Afterimage, Astalon, and to a lesser extent, Guacamelee and Pirate's Curse.
extra recommendations: Flynn - son of crimson and outland. Really great games, I had a lot of fun with them and finished both.
One of the most underrated metroidvanias that I hardly ever see on anyone's list is Itorah. It's a pretty solid game
Bastante de acuerdo, solo pondría más arriba los Guacamelee!
Id have death's gambit on this list somewhere but other than that, good list 👍
Guacameele, Ori, Hollow, Dread, and SOTN are top 5 for me. I'll let the audience argue the order.
If I had a list the mummy demastered and strider 2014 would have made my top ten. I love those games and the soundtrack on both of them is f fantastic
Tails of Iron is one of the best games I've played, super underrated metroidvania that is top 3 after Ender Lillies and Hollow Knight
super underrated
What about The Last Faith?! This is great Metroidvania + 2D Souls-Like with atmosphere of Bloodborne. Cookie Cutter also looks interesting.
Yeah that's a good game too. Sadly didn't get into this list. I put it in my metroidvania list 2023 goty tho.
I agree on Nr.1 ❤
Astalon is top 5 easy for me. Such an underrated gem
I basically finished blasphemous 2, what a game i gotta say
I’m glad aeterna noctis is in here... it’s a fantastic game only affected by reviewers who don’t understand the beauty of difficulty and skill-honing.
Guacamelee 2 should have been in top 5 along with Bloodstained, those 2 games are so amazing. Haven't tried metroid dread but seems better than hollow knight, prince of persia also looks really good gameplay wise and visually
The new Prince of Persia hast to be on this list. It was just amazing.
The last faith and tails of iron deserved a mention
I've just got the PS Platinum for Hollow Knight and it was the first I've played. Ori will likely be my next until Silksong
Ori es el nro 1 por lejos el mejor en todo graficos ,arte ,sonido, gameplay, etc
STRIDER 2014 !!!
I loved that game. The music was really good in it too, same with the mummy demastered, an often over looked but fantastic MV. I don't see it mentioned often but if I were rating MV's on nostalgia factor it would be my #1. That games aesthetics and music brought me back to playing metroid as a kid on the NES
Such an underrated mv. Way ahead of its time.
Being a bigtime fan of the genre it saddens me to see people sleeping on F.I.S.T Forged In Shadow Torch. Its not on th3 level of HK/Ori 2/B2 but damn its better than damn near all the other indies
Yeah that is a good game. I do like it better than a lot of the games in this list
ASTLIBRA Revision deserves a spot
Were is Rusted Moss?
Amazing video, can you make one for metroidvania for Android?
Thank you ^^
Hmm... Let's see I will think about it.
Android gaming 😂😂😂😂
Excuse me, where is Messenger from Sabotage Studio? 🤔
In the trash can where it belongs. Joke.
I really like the Messenger even if it has one of the worst backtracking for the metroidvania genre.
@@ageup7493 lol. I think 8 bit - 16 bit switching is the great idea.
And gameplay, dialogues and soundtrack in Messenger are brilliant, beating most of the game in that list
Ghostsong. GG.
In my honest opinion Metroid dread is easily the best meteoidvania of all time
Hollow Knight second, SOTN still first in my opinion. Also love Metroid Dread, Super Metroid, I'm playing Prince of Persia right now and it's great
I think , prens of persia better than ender lilies, and new game nine sols could be top10
For me La Mulana 2 is the best Metroidvania ever made. A very underrated game.
Where's Metroid Prime!?!
Ori better than CSON and bloodstained?
Symphony of the night is still the best. Always.
I understand why you say that but I disagree as that would be super Metroid
@@jdarokhajiit9153 no, excellent game but symphony of the night is better, though. Its problematic handling alone directly disqualifies Super Metroid.
Outdated garbage
@@shrimp4791 like your mother? No…
Someone's butthurt since I didn't like their game 💀 it's mostly nostalgia driven according to me
Number 1-2 highly deserve their positions. Hollow Knight is the best 🎉 however i’d see ori and the blind forest and blasphemous 1 on top 10. I reccomend you also Moonscars. Really good one.
You rock ❤
Missing deaths gambit afterlife
This is an easy list
Super metroid
Super metroid
Super metroid
Super metroid
Axiom verge
Hollow knight
SOTN a masterpiece forever
Symphony of the Night should be first, but nice selection.
Maybe second behind hollow knight
Metroid Dread?! No way .
Good list but leaving out The Messenger is a huge miss.
I hope shaman king will get a remake
Son is the first
Negative
First Blasphemous should be top 5
BlazBlue Entropy Effect is the best combat rich metroidvania game ever
Steamworld Dig 2 = Nintendo quality level metroidvania...it really is a stunning polished game.
Add Ghost Song ❤
Omg! Where is the Deaths Gambit? 😱
Yeah. Its one of the greatest mv ive play. Definitely in top 10
VIENDO ESTE VIDEO ME COMPRE - Afterimage : EXCELENTE MUY BONITO LOS GRAFICOS - AEterna Noctis : que descubrimientooooo!
😂 i can't believe you put 2 games with there sequel for them and i like it because they become great and greatest i hope we get more because those 2 game are amazing
Sorry i disagree, super metroid and sotn are my top
Those awesome games are the fathers of the metroidvania genre. Nobody will never top those!
There are no F.I.S.T, Bloodstained and Iconoclasts. These games deserve to be in list. Also I would put Prince of Persia much higher.
I strongly recomend all of you F.I.S.T.
Developed by a Chinese company, iirc, it is not so famous but a masterpiece, in my opinion. Happy to see Monsterboy included on the list! It's also less famous than other not-so-good metroidvanias like SaS or Ender Lilies (remember it's just my opinion!).
The last faith
Metroid is not a Metroidvania, it's just Metroid. Look at the title it says Metroid. The game that started the term Metroidvania was Castlevania Symphony of the Night because it was so similar to a Metroid title.
bang lu orang indo ya?
Dead Cells ☠
Surprise! Thats number one. There are plenty just popular games out there. That get just as much praise that I can agree with. . But in this case I’m just so tired of it. There’s so many other games just as great.
the two ORI are world class, after you've played them, all the other games are laughable
Definitely !! Hollow knight the number One Metroidvania
Both ori games are underrated, but I love castlevania sotn. It's old-school but a classic. A most pla
Hollow Knight is the Best that played this year
Sotn is the goat
How can you not have Sundered on this list?
Metroidvania list with only one Castlevania in the list,, aria of sorrow sggaknya masuk kali ya
lom pernah main aria, seru ya bang ?
@@dinand28 bingitz bang coba aja asli, belum lagi kalo eksplore map dalam kondisi kebalik (spoiler)
Belum lagi grinding worth-it dah,, ngumpulin jiwa setan2 yg bisa jadi ability kitah
Bro why you put bloodstained in Ori’s spot 🤦♂️
Missing some classics like Dead Cells and F.I.S.T. but not a bad list. I'm curious though, why are you putting on a fake accent?
It has to be hollow knight
Dead cells?
That one doesn't really count as a Metroidvania, Dead Cells is a roguelike first and then everything else
@@huevonesunltd yeah was gonna say the same thing, Its not really a MV other than aesthetics. It would be top ten roguelites though
Cookie Cutter ☝️
I love metroivania!!! Yuzu never Will die!!!
And dead cells?
Dead Cells is a Roguelike
Its on the roguelite list
Ori is the best, second hollow, third blasphemous
IN MY OPPNION ORI AND THE WILL OF WISPS is better
Ori >ALL
WHERE TF IS WORLDLESS RAAAAAHHHHH
Metroid is not a metroidvania. It’s Metroid.
You also have to understand what metroidvania actually means than what people now think it means because you are creating a new misconception from an already existing one.
The true meaning of metroidvania is ANY castlevania game since symphony of the night that plays like Metroid.
I understand how the meaning change over the years to call games that play like metroid to be now called metroidvania style instead of metroid like.
But please do not disrespect metroid by calling it metroidvania when it came first before all the clones.
I understand your sentiment, but since this is the best metroidvania list of all time, I think I should include metroid game for the sake of completion. (Heck, in my previous best metroidvania of all time video, people argue I should put metroid and castlevania games for this type of list)
Qua nessuno disprezza Metroid o castelvania mettendoli in cima alla classifica del genere che hanno dato vita. Sono dettagli.
Avrebbe potuto togliere super Metroid e simpony of the night dalla classifica creando altrettanta polemica. Inutile polemica. Qua si apprezza un genere e si tirano le somme, si scopre qualcosa di nuovo e si condivide. I titoli che per me mancano alla lista sono pochi e se la giocano con altri in fondo alla lista.
Metroidvania is just a term used for games that are metroid-likes, doesn't matter if they don't have the "castlevania" part in it, the term transcended the games it originated from, you could say there's been metroidvanias before metroid existed even if that sounds paradoxical , in general metroid is considered a metroidvania because no really uses the term "metroidlike" its pretty redundant
@@huevonesunltdIs there any metroidlike games that have very different gameplay between the start and finish (majority due to infinite jump and screw attack) that are not Metroid?
@@birdbig6852 ender lillies
Never liked Hollow Knight. Still dont know why its so popular. But tastes are different.
Have you finished it? Boss fights are just epic
@@mezomoza7 No, never finished it. I wanted to like it but somehow it didnt click with me. The music is excellent btw.
I agree very overrated hollow knight
Same thing happened to me. I'm a platformers fan
I am a fan of Megaman X/Zero, Castlevania and Metroid.
The biggest mistake was people telling me it's better than all of them.
Boy was I disappointed.
Hollow knight is my favorite game of all time, but I can understand why people might not be a fan of it. I’ve played Metroid dread, Elden ring, Minecraft, dead cells, hades, and some other popular games but nothing really came close to hollow knight except for maybe Elden ring
I have just android device
If you like me
Trying this games:
Bloodstained
Ebenezer and the IW
If you have game like system Metroidvenia send me name game please comment here
Monster boy better than Aeterna??? 😂😂😂😂
Missing the last faith, fist forged in shadow torch, islets and haiku the robot. also blasphemous (both of them) are waaaaay too low. they both deserve top 5 at least! together with both ori's. also HK being on #1 everytime is boring and undeserved, it deserves top 10 but not place #1
This is his list lol
youre wrong. HK is #1 for a reason. It's the best and by a long way
Its a great game but I think it's mildly overrated. It's one of those games that's #1 On damn near every list because it's #1 on damn near every one else's list. Internet hype sort of thing. Same reason silk song is so highly anticipated. It's like when elden ring was coming out there were people who've never even played a fromsoft game going nuts for it because the fan base was
HK is number one obviously.
Hollow knight is arguably one of the best video games of all time, not just metroidvanias
