The best Metroidvanias games on PC
Taking elements from the best Metroid games and the newer Castlevania series, the Metroidvania genre has become especially popular on PC.

Almost everything else, from art style, combat, perspective, and mechanics can change from game to game. A well-crafted Metroidvania can easily be one of the best PC games, while others could be a huge disappointment. Let’s sequence break the process of trying them all out and just get to our list of the best Metroidvania games on PC.

Hollow Knight has a massive world to explore as you’d expect, but it is one of the most atmospheric and immersive we’ve ever played. The art and design of every location, enemy, and boss lends so much life to this creepy, quiet world. Combat is kept simple but expects you to master all the nuances by the end. It gives you just enough ways to tweak your run and make interesting choices, but never gives you an option to overpower yourself to surmount a challenge. There are almost no faults to be found here, which have made expectations of Silksong skyrocket.
