Brings what grabs you about Elypse: interconnected level design, jumping and platforming as well as gripping boss fights.

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.

Shadow Man Remastered

Dense, handcrafted world

As Mike LeRoi, possessed by voodoo power, you move between the world of the living and the land of the dead, hunting serial killers to stop an apocalypse. The remaster brings back this dark, sprawling 90s-style shooter-platformer with sharper visuals.

Laika: Aged Through Blood

Interconnected level design

A grim metroidvania set in a post-apocalyptic desert where you play a vengeful coyote warrior. It mixes motorbike platforming, flips and gunplay in fast combat, wrapped in a striking hand-drawn comic style.

Dandara

Interconnected level design

A metroidvania where Dandara doesn't walk but leaps instantly from surface to surface, turning gravity and space into a puzzle of movement. Surreal pixel-art worlds reward exploration and demand precise leaping through tricky traversal and combat.

Blue Fire

Fantasy setting

A stylized 3D platformer adventure through the ruined kingdom of Penumbra, mixing jumping, light combat and trap-filled temples. The emphasis is on precise movement rather than narrative.

Afterimage

Interconnected level design

A hand-drawn 2D Metroidvania where you explore the ruins of a fallen metropolis as Renee, fight towering bosses, and build up your skills and gear. Its RPG depth and large, interconnected map are the main draws.

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight

Interconnected level design

A compact 2D pixel-art Metroidvania platformer where you play the priestess Kaho, fighting through a decaying kingdom with quick melee combos, dodge rolls and tough boss duels. It focuses on tight combat and a gloomy mood rather than heavy character building.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

Interconnected level design

A fast, polished 2D Metroidvania platformer starring the warrior Sargon in a mythical Persian world. Acrobatic parry-driven combat, time-manipulating powers and clever platforming challenges make for a fluid, stylish adventure.
