I really dig Timespinner. A lot of games go for that "retro" aesthetic, but this game really nails it. It just looks and feels like an SNES or PS1 era game. Its a little short, but its enough to keep you entertained the entire time without feeling boring.

I can totally recommend Axiom Verge. The game is impressive as hell, made by one person alone. Level design, assets, story, music (which is fantastic btw!), all by Thomas Happ.

There's a post #6?

Anyways, Hollow Knight is peak Metroidvania, imo.

Since the two series have a lot alike, here is my fav:
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
Switch, PC, PS4, Xbox
https://www.gamestop.com/video-games/switch/games/products/bloodstained-curse-of-the-moon/10164400.html
https://www.gamestop.com/video-games/switch/games/products/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night/10177201.html

PC & Switch listed as $40 don't know about the others.

So who's up for a Metroid on the Switch? And 2D or 3D? MP4, this guy, says is gonna be big!

What! I didn't know that egg metroidvania was made by the devs of Celeste lol
Anyway I second most of the suggestions ITT (especially Axiom Verge, Hollow Knight, The Messenger and the 2 Oris)
My personal suggestions are Touhou Luna Nights (the same dev has put out another game that might be worth looking into, but I haven't yet), the Steamworld Dig series (they're only technically Metroidvanias tbh but I still count them), the Shantae series, Momodora 3 & 4, Gato Roboto and Iconoclasts.

Metroid Fusion
I love Metroid Fusion, but I don't think it's much of a Metroidvania due to be nearly entirely linear (correct me if I'm wrong about this). Still a good game though.

Normally I'm the guy you'd expect to go with an old classic but I'll go with Hollowknight. I'm guessing Cave Story and Blaster Master dont count but I like those a lot too.

You're right in it being kinda linear but there's still some metroidvania elements like needing upgrades to get to certain out of the way areas.

This, except for one platforming part at the end was a huge pain in the butt imo. I think it was optional though.

I havent played 2 yet.
