Good god above, this is hard. Legit not sure what to pick. There's so many of them now it's overwhelming.

Seems like Hollow Knight is still the zeitgeist, but from there they go in all different directions, so it's tough to even know which one to look at first.

If you haven't played them yet, the GBA games should be on sale as a bundle. Aria of Sorrow alone is worth the purchase price. Harmony of Dissonance feels a bit too much like a Symphony of the Night remix, IMO.

If you have played them and enjoyed the soul aspect of Aria of Sorrow then Bloodstained isn't bad.

If you're looking for more of a combat focus then Hollow Knight gets attention. Blasphemous isn't too shabby either. If you enjoyed the Kobe team's titles, such as Circle of the Moon, then Blasphemous should feel more comfortable for you. It draws some influence from Dark Souls though, which might tilt your view one way or the other.

I do have the advance collection, and Hollow Knight.

I've looked at Blasphemous, but I'm a little concerned about difficulty (same as Dead Cells).

Few i've played recently that I like or enjoyed

Ender Lillies, Record of Lodoss War, Spiritfarer is basically one.

GoldenEel has a solid metroidvania topic going also with a lot of recs and reviews.

Eradicate but vindicate as "progress" creeps along. Puritan work ethic maintains its subconscious edge, as Old Glory maintains your consciousness.

Someone here recommended it to me a while back, but I think I went with either Hollow Knight or Castlevania Advance Collection at the time, then I cleared my wishlist so I forgot about it, go figure.

I'll let you know shortly how it goes.

Are the Guacamelee games on sale? I really liked both of those games so definitely get them if they're on sale, both of them are really charming and fun, and I love the colorful aesthetic they both have. Like, honestly they're as fun to just look at as they are to play, and the soundtracks are really good too.

Some solid suggestions here. Here's mine: Aggelos. It oozes Wonderboy vibes mixed with modern metroidvania formula.
