I’ll be interested to see where I land on it. I finished Harmony of Dissonance about a month ago and was not impressed, mostly because the map layout was way too sprawling. Order of Ecclesia is a great game, but I wouldn’t call it a Metroidvania because it’s very linear. Neither had great scores IMO

That was me with Hollow Knight most recently, but the worst was Diablo II… waaaaaaay way back when.

There’s a Super Metroid romhack of that.

Coincidentally, I’ve been going through several Castlevania collections and Portrait of Ruin is next on my list.
