Title: Demajen's Metroidvania Tierlist

How would you like the games arranged?

Games I've mapped have a checkmark & open a GoogleDrive folder when clicked!

Hover over games to see some brief Pros & Cons of each.

 

S

S = Superb. Games that — for my personal tastes — are the best the genre has to offer. Combat, tone, map design, exploration are all excellent.

A

A = Amazing. Games that excel in multiple areas or stand out for exceptional ideas, playstyles, or systems.

B

B = Better Than Most. Games that are good for multiple reasons, be it their maps, exploration, combat, or a combination.

C

C = Commendable. My personal baseline for a MV I would recommend. Skews more towards positive than negative.

D

D = Does Some Things Right. Games that did just enough to me playing until the end, but often skews more negative.

Early Access

Games that I've played parts of in Early Access. Tier placement to be determined at full release.

Didn't Finish

Games I played at least 30 minutes of & keep telling myself I'll go back to one day...

Games I played at least 30 minutes of that I decided weren't for me...

Not Played

Games that have been released but, for one or more reasons, I haven't played.

RIP

Games which are essentially dead: no longer in production or likely never coming out.
