I can understand the need for more Metroidvanias, but honestly I think it's time for Metroid to reclaim that title and Castlevania embracing what it used to be because the Metroidvania style was getting quite old even though I do consider OoE to be the best one. Harmony of Despair really showed me that while it's a lot of fun, going through similar looking maps all the time can get a bit tiring.
