Ori and the Blind Forest

Strong soundtrack

A gorgeous hand-painted Metroidvania platformer with tight, demanding movement, tense escape sequences and a heartfelt tale of loss and hope. Its sweeping orchestral score makes the forest of Nibel unforgettable.

Dust: An Elysian Tail

Strong soundtrack

A hand-painted Metroidvania with fast, combo-heavy combat, where the amnesiac warrior Dust explores a storybook world alongside his talking sword and companion Fidget. Big combos against crowds of enemies and a charming story drive the experience.

Well Dweller

Lots to discover

A dark fairy-tale metroidvania where you play a tiny bird with a matchstick, crossing a wretched kingdom to burn the wicked queen. Expect quirky characters, exploration and platforming action. The game is new and little known to me, so this rating relies mostly on the description.

Timespinner

Strong soundtrack

A 2D Metroidvania in the vein of Symphony of the Night where you play a time traveler hopping between past and future to topple an empire. Smooth pixel-art action, plenty of exploration and a blend of fantasy and science fiction.

Phoenotopia: Awakening

Lots to discover

You play as young Gail exploring a large, handcrafted 2D world full of secrets after a starship abducts all the adults. It blends Zelda-like adventure with platforming action, gear upgrades and side quests.
