The Metroidvania subgenre has given us some incredible games over the years. For this list, well be looking at games that had us backtracking all while exploring a huge map. However, we wont be including any Metroid or Castlevania games, instead focusing on the best games inspired by those franchises design and gameplay. Our list includes Steamworld Dig 2 (2017), Ori and the Blind Forest (2015), Yokus Island Express (2018), Hollow Knight (2017), and more!
