Dandara

Distinctive, stylised art style

A metroidvania where Dandara doesn't walk but leaps instantly from surface to surface, turning gravity and space into a puzzle of movement. Surreal pixel-art worlds reward exploration and demand precise leaping through tricky traversal and combat.

Aeterna Noctis

Jumping and platforming

A punishing 2D Metroidvania where you play the King of Darkness across 16 interconnected areas. Precision platforming and fast combat demand sharp reflexes and patience.

Constance

Distinctive, stylised art style

A hand-drawn 2D Metroidvania where you play an artist wielding a paintbrush, fighting and platforming through a vivid yet crumbling inner world shaped by her mental struggles. Exploration and an emotional undertone are at the heart of it.

Momodora: Moonlit Farewell

Jumping and platforming

A compact, fluid pixel-art Metroidvania where the priestess Momo fights with quick melee and ranged attacks and precise dodging against demanding bosses. Its melancholic mood and carefully crafted areas make this farewell to the series special.

Outland

Distinctive, stylised art style

A stylish 2D platformer where you swap between light and dark polarity to dodge matching-colored bullets, defeat enemies and solve traversal puzzles. Its silhouette art style and Metroidvania-like world design give it a distinct identity.

Well Dweller

Jumping and platforming

A dark fairy-tale metroidvania where you play a tiny bird with a matchstick, crossing a wretched kingdom to burn the wicked queen. Expect quirky characters, exploration and platforming action. The game is new and little known to me, so this rating relies mostly on the description.

Unbound: Worlds Apart

Jumping and platforming

An atmospheric 2D puzzle-platformer where you play Soli, opening magic portals into other realities that change the physical rules of the character and the world. Its art style is a dark fairy tale told in a cartoonish look.
