Monster Sanctuary
4.5 out of 5. A monster collecting turn-based battler wrapped up in a Metroidvania world. It accomplishes this rather eloquently in the ways that matter the most. even if there are a few small caveats
Lost to Time
In order to overcome insurmountable odds, Chrona must manipulate the flow of time in order to gain advantages over opponents.
Mega Man ZX
3 out of 5. Combining Mega Man X with Metroidvania level design seems like a match made in heaven, but Mega Man ZX needed some significant changes to make it really work.
ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights – Early Access
ENDER LILIES (Early Access) takes familiar mechanics and applies them to both innocent and haunting themes creating a remarkable combat and exploration experience wholly worth supporting.
Blasphemous: The Stir of Dawn
4 out of 5. With the latest patch, Blasphemous is a great value, with five new great bosses, fixes to old content, and three new modes to extend your play time in challenging ways.
MessiahEnd Refrain
Play as a cute girl as you explore each level in this Metroidvania, but not quite Metroidvania.

AeternoBlade
2.5 out of 5. AeternoBlade ambitiously tackles deep concepts like time travel and psychological character development, but its obsession with padding its length is detrimental to the experience.
Castlevania: The Lecarde Chronicles 2
4 out of 5. A delightful marriage between Classicvania and Metroidvania that will surely please fans of both. Challenging combat and a deep world to explore make for a wholly memorable game.
Owlboy
3.5 out of 5. What Owlboy lacks in challenging game design might be made up for with its emotionally resonant narrative, if you go into it seeking that above all else.
Alice Escaped!
