I hate Metroidvanias

I fucking hate Metroidvanias so much. Normies act as if they automatically have more depth than regular 2d action games for reasons. Apparently they'd rather backtrack for hours instead of experience a constant flow of exciting content in a compressed package. I have never beaten a Metroidvania. They're just too boring. I tried playing Symphony of the Night and ended up playing the PS1 remake of the first Castlevania instead.

maybe but aria of sorrow is worth playing

Most of the time they could just make new areas that would use new powers instead forcing themselves to make new paths in old

Not a fan of backtracking but good Metroidvanias do it well, for example by having new enemies spawn in the path or by giving you shortcuts.

Currently playing a Metroidvania called "Timespinners". Main character is a foid, but otherwise it's pretty decent.

I don't like platformers so I really don't like long hard Metroidvanias.

its exciting to finally be able to reach that one area with your new ability that you've never had access to until now and discover a whole new area

I like the actual Metroid and Castlevania games, can't stand all the samey "indie soulslike metroidvanias".

Metroid fusion was a banger. It's insane how much they fit into just 4 mb of space.

Gba games are not 4mb uncompressed your GBA ROM and you will see how big the games are

I love them, one of my favorite genre.
