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?

    Hollow Knight

    Dead Cells takes that formula and makes it a fun Roguelike

    Yoku's Island Express is a fun pinball take on metroidvania

    Axiom Verge

    Rogue Legacy 2 is a ton of fun, similar to Dead Cells but more emphasis on exploration

    Itorah

    Transiruby

    They Always Run

    I absolutely LOVED Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

    People here seemed to love Grime, but I'm not a soulslike fan so it was lost on me.

    Legend of Tianding

    Wuppo

    Minoria

    Unsighted

    Cathedral is pretty old school, but might scratch that itch.

    Owlboy

    Tails of Iron is like Redwall meets Dark Souls, closest I've come to seriously enjoying a Soulslike.

    Narita Boy

    Blasphemous

    Ender Lilies

    A Robot Named Fight

    Blue Fire is very Zelda like, but has no map, so I put it down.

    The Messenger fuckin rips

    Pumpkin Jack if you want something short and Halloween themed.

      No one ever talks about Yoku's Island Express but I loved it so much.

          I had always hoped for a follow up, but I don't think that studio is working on a game
