I'm the same, tried to like Metroid Prime but just found the going back and forth tedious which was a shame given I loved that initial explorational feelinh

I played Super Metroid. Was kinda fun but i dont think the genre is for me. I tried Castlevania SOTN and couldn't get into it. Wanted to like it.
Metroidvanias are one of the genres I don't jive with, the Ori games are the exception to the rule
Yeah I am, one of the things I'm looking forward to this year, I thought the newest trailer was pretty cool
It bothers me it’s what the genre ended up called as the term was originally used to describe SOTN just because it was Castlevania doing a Metroid thing. Seems weird to then go on to use that to describe all future games that also did a Metroid thing
Yeah I’m a Retrovania fan myself. I like SOTN a lot but it’s both a worse Metroidvania than Metroid (and I’ve always disagreed with the genre partly being named after it) and a worse Castlevania than the classic ones.
I learned to speedrun 1 so I am biased with that, 3 and Rondo of Blood are also fantastic
Although at least people in the UK don't just act like videogames are for cretins and shutins
When I had driving lessons I was in a retro phase and was playing the original Castlevania, when my instructor asked what I played and I said that he hit me with “I played that when I was younger, have they not made anymore games?”
