I've been playing Environmental Station Alpha in my desperate search for literally any modern Metroidvainia (I'd give it like a 3-4/10 in terms of having a Metroidvainia structure). Holy shit Overgrowth is the most annoying boss I've have seen in a long time and the game in general is just tedious as shit and full of hitting your head against different walls both figuratively and literally.
I am begging whoever might have this information about where a good Metroidvania other than Hollow Knight is.
It starts linear but widens out quite early on, (it's been a while since I've played it but I kinda recall it opening up after the first non-tutorial boss).

Have you tried Bloodstained: Ritual of The Night?
It's a spiritual successor to Castlevania and thus plays incredibly similar to those games.
How linear is it? All the metroidvanias I've been encountering are super linear but just have a ton of backtracking

Fair enough, I'll check it out. Thanks!
