13. Hollow Knight (PC– 2017)
I finally got around to play this gem last month. Hollow Knight is one of the finest Metroidvania games I have tried. The art style, music, atmosphere and game world are all top notch, the exploration and platforming work very well. The combat may be the biggest strength, it feels really good, but is also very challenging. I am not that much into difficult games, but I do like it for this genre. I hear a sequel is in development, but how can they top the first one?
