I played through Axiom Verge during my three day stay at the hospital last month for the birth of my second child. Exploration and power-ups were great, and the difficulty was perfect for what I was looking for. I honestly don't remember the soundtrack much, but I might have been playing it with low sound or something.

As for AM2R, I only ever played through the first area of the game, and it was right before the release of the Metroid 2 remake on 3DS (which is why I found myself playing it). Is it worth a full playthrough, and how does it compare to Axiom Verge? Will my playthrough of Samus Returns on 3DS make the game too easy (or rather, will it feel like I'm playing the same game)?

Edit: I've been in a Metroidvania phase as of late. I also played through Hollow Knight a couple weeks ago, as well as Bloodstained when that came out. Any other recommendations? And what about Prime; is there anything comparable to a Prime game?

And to my knowledge, Metroid Prime is the only game of its kind.  

Maybe Recore for the XBone/PC? It was made by some key people from Retro. While not nearly as good, and maybe not quite a Metroidvania, it did scratch some of the Metroid Prime itch. Really felt like a 6th generation game.
