Already have Shovel Knight (More of a platformer, but kind of fits) and Rabi-Ribi (So much hatred...) so I'm looking for something new to try.

Leaning Hollow Knight, but any other suggestions are welcome.

Hollow Knight is fantastic, one of the best Metroidvanias ever.

Chelsea and the 7 Devils is fun witu its time based powers.

Guacamelee is a bit too linear but good.

Salt and Sanctuary is Souls-like in 2D.

Super Cave Story is a classic, as well as VVVVVV.

There's actually a lot of these games I still need to play. I hate having a laptop that can only play vidya from like, 6 years ago at most. lol

Funny, my computer is suped up as fuck, but I mostly play 2D games and DOS games -_-

imho, Hollow Knight blows the competition away. Best metroidvania since Super Metroid. Go with this one if you want a fully contextualized world, a haunting atmosphere and an emphasis on combat.

If you want something that breaks the mold a little more, then Steamworld Dig + Steamworld Dig 2 are really fun, compact games. Give these a try if the words "platform mining" intrigue you.

Ori and the Blind Forest is another one that often comes up in these topics. Ori's presentation is stronger than its gameplay, but it's still a wonderful game. If you prefer an emphasis on platforming then check it out.

Currently still leaning Hollow Knight, although Axiom Verge looks interesting.

Ugh, probably won't be able to decide until tomorrow.

Salt and Sanctuary

Good Metroid level design, and good Castlevania rpg mechanics. Yeah, yeah, it's "2D Dark Souls", but it still fits and imo is better than Dark Souls in some ways.

tc, one of the reasons i mentioned axiom verge and odallus is because you liked shovel knight; those two are similar in that they are meant to look and feel like slightly souped-up 8 bit games

Yeah both have super appealing graphics.

The anime fan in me is intrigued by Shantae.

Treasure Adventure Game is sort of like a 2-D Wind Waker Metroidvania type game. Best of all, it's free.

Ori is beautiful and fun to play as well. I found Hollow Knight difficult/unresponsive control-wise when I played it, though I like the setting of it, too. Shantae is funny and charming, but gameplay wise it ranges from boring and repetitive to upbeat and exciting. The backtracking in it isn't fun though. AM2R is by far the best Metroidvania I've played recently.

Which Shantae would you recommend if that's the direction I go?
