If you make a video like this but with classic Nintendo games on the subscription service, I'd put Wario Land 3 on the list. The secret Metroid title that is very much a metroidvania. Even did a video on why it's the most unique one on my channel.
Very good list! I don't exactly consider Dead Cells a metroidvania. It's a roguelike with metroidvania vibes. So my list would match yours except I would instead replace Dead Cells with Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Some honorable mentions in my list would be: Ghost 1.0 Dust: An Elysium Tail Timespinner AeternoBlade Ender Lilies Mind Seize Touhou: Luna Nights
Except for a couple of exceptions, like Axiom Verge and Metroid Dread, most of these games which resemble cartoons are very uninteresting to me, visually.
Afterimage, last faith, mobuis machine. Play those games. Afterimage is more like sotn, last faith is more like blasphemous and mobuis machine is more like metriod. All 10s.
I’ve not only played but I played everyone of these games to the end. With the exception of Dead Cells that game will never end for me 600 hours later….
