Any good metroidvania recommendations?

Probably mentioned here already but Shadowman (1999) is a cool as fuck metroidvania TPP.

Has some shortcomings, like lack of variety in weapons/mobs or monotonous color palette, but overall it's pretty amazing and still holds up to this day.

Reviews are useless so far. Constant references to a dunkey and Halo 2. Average person is an NPC these days. Sad.

At first glance, it looks like Rain World Light. Is it at least somewhat challenging?

Anyone tried this?

backed it a long time ago when I was still optimistic about KS projects... it's in my library but I'm waiting for it to be released out of EA before playing it...

So what do you guys think of Journey to the Savage Planet?

It's described as a Metroid Prime clone, a First Person Metroidvania. I haven't played any Metroid Prime games so I wouldn't know how it compares.

I enjoyed it, it's fun especially if you like first-person exploration games... I would have gotten all the achievements if they didn't have ones for co-op in it...

Play Animal Well, it comes out in 2 days and i cant say more but play animal well.

Here is my review: Play it

This actually looks really cool. I only watched a snippet of the Dunkey video and one review to get the gist and there seems to be a big emphasis on inviting players to discover the verbs behind the tools you acquire. That's a really neat idea, especially since I'm guessing most if not all of the items you acquire will have a literal impact on the playspace. I saw one spoilerish use case for the disc which was pretty delightful.

Keep saying it...
