Why are there so few indie metroidvanias that are actually similar to Metroid? Most of them have melee combat with soulslike bullshit

Nintendo patented the concept of "metroidvanias similar to Metroid". Sorry, bud.

Right? That also annoys the shit out of me. Imuch prefer a more straightforward focus on exploration and item collection. If I want to make the number go up, that's what RPGs are for. The market has too much vania, not enough Metroid.

BECAUSE THE LABEL "METROIDVANIA" SHOULD BE EXCLUSIVE TO GAMES DIRECTLY RELATED TO OR INSPIRED BY CASTLEVANIA SYMPHONY OF THE NIGHT
Using it as a catch-all term for any non-linear platformer is fucking retarded and has causing it to lose all nuance.

Another stealth "Hollow Knight sucks/is overrated" thread.
Good, I agree
