Metroidvania is a subgenre of video games focused on guided non-linearity and utility-gated exploration. The term, popularized by video game critic Jeremy Parish, is a portmanteau of Metroid and Castlevania.

I've played a lot of the usual suspects: Super Metroid, SotN, GBA Castlevanias and Metroids, etc. Just played Hollow Knight and loved it. I'm less familiar with MV's that would've come out on the Vita or PSP. Any suggestions??

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I end up going back every now and then and doing just that.
