Dear steamgifters, are you avid players of the 2D exploration platformer gerne also known as Metroidvania? If you are, you are welcome to join the only Steam Group that is about Metrodivanias: The Metroidvaina Reviews

The group's owner, Professor Q, focuses on reviewing Metroidvanias on Steam, but all members of the group are free to discuss or recommend their favourite MV games. I recently became a Moderator in this group and now I am basically compiling a list of every Metroidvania on Steam. My goal is to have a more or less complete list of the games including remarks about their key features, like "XP based/RPG like", "In-game map", or "co-op". You can have a look at the work in progress list right here: Steam MV list @ MVReviews

If you care to help, please join the group and create entries for for the Metroidvania games you have played on Steam in the group's discussions, and tell us about their key features.

For the next 3 weeks, I will create giveaways for games of the genre, that can be entered by the group's memebrs only, so please join us if you like.

Week 1: Dex ENDED!
Week 2: La-Mulana ENDED!
Week 3: Owlboy ENDED!
--- ENCORE ---
Mini Ghost ENDED!
STRIDER ENDED!
Wuppo ENDED!

For everyone who enters, please consider bumping this thread so it gets seen. If you don't want to join, please consider bumping this thread also :)

Good luck to everyone entering!

Thanks for reading and have a nice week


All my giveaways have ended but if there are more group giveaways by members of this group, I'll post it here

The first metroidvania game I played was Symphony of the Night and I've loved them since. Great sense of progression and you get to appreciate the level design by revisiting areas. Guacamelee was great too (and the sequel just came out!).

I didn't join the group but I did follow the curator :D

I'm sure I was part of the group, but it seems that I was just following the curator...why doesn't steam just amalgamate these things? Anyway, remedied now, so thank you. Metroidvania's are the pinnacle of gaming!

Bump! It's a fantastic genre, and I hope to get a little more exposure to some I might have missed :).

I'm not really into groups but since I'm really into metroidvanias I followed your curator at least. You might want to check Out There Somewhere, it's probably the cheapest metroid-like on Steam, although it's pretty short.

Quite a big fan of Metroidvanias as well. Also, great first GA. I played through Dex a couple of years ago and loved every minute of it. Not only was the combat and platforming pretty solid, but I also found the story quite engaging and I loved the branching paths several of the quests offered. I even enjoyed the twin-stick shooter hacking segments. All in all, a fun cyberpunk action-RPG.

I took a look on the lists and I didn't find it in the "Not a Metroidvania" list, so I should tell you, Trials of Azra is tagged as metroidvania, but it isn't.
