Metroidvanias, which ones are good? Just finished Ender Lilies

I want to get the new Prince of Persia but I'm not gonna spend $60 on that shit. Any recs? Ones I've played:

Both Ori's

Hollow Knight (very mid game btw)

Afterimage

Blasphemous

I'm fairly new to this genre. Any tips?

Does Guacamelee count? That one is really good. It was a lot of people's first indie "Metroidvania" I think, or one of them, so it's good for newcomers to the genre. Axiom Verge and Bloodstained Curse of the Moon aren't bad options if you're looking for something with a more retro style and feel. Bloodstained Ritual of the Night (totally separate from Curse of the Moon) is good if you're into mega weeb shit but I wouldn't spend $40 on it. Also The Vagrant is an okay cheap anime game with Vanillaware stylings.

Guacamelee is indisputably a Metroidvania. It's aggressively Redditcore but still fun.
