Metroid Dread

Boss fights as highlights

AM2R: Return of Samus

Boss fights as highlights

A fan-made remake of Metroid II that blends classic Samus Aran gameplay with modern controls, expanded areas and punchy boss fights. Hunting the Metroids across planet SR388 is atmospheric and rewards thorough exploration.

Axiom Verge 2

A metroidvania with a large, interconnected world where new abilities and a drone unlock secrets and shortcuts. It continues the Axiom Verge universe but works fine without playing the original first.
