I'm a big fan of these kinda games where you explore an area collect items/level up to fight bosses.

My favorite is Order of Ecclesia for the DS. It was just great gameplay, a decent story, and great art.

I'm kinda unfamiliar with the new games in the genre, so I'd appreciate any suggestions. And is there a community of people who design those games?

    Carrion

    Best Metroidvania I've played in a long time, and a very unique spin. Excellent map design, I am surprised I never got lost.

    Also

    AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake) the best fan game I've ever played. I think it's better than Metroid Dread.

    Lastly Prodeus I think is the best shooter this year, no fluff and very refined with exploration and bosses. Coolest art style this year also.

    There might be an AM2R download on Internet Archive, Prodeus is on Xbox Game Pass and Carrion I think is fairly cheap. They all have been torrented.

      I second Carrion. Incredibly fun to play as the monster, and the level design is great. I'm also suprised i didn't get lost lol
