Metroidvania Mania: The List
2026-01-02
Here is my list of metroidvanias that I want to play and talk about. I want to stick to traditional sidescrollers that aren't roguelites or heavy on puzzles, so no Arkhams or Dead Cells or Animal Well. Games marked with a ♼ are ones I've played before, though mostly not recently. Sequels that aren't listed will probably be added later. I'm not playing them in any particular order, just what I feel like when it's time for a new one.
