AI-powered picks based on gameplay, mechanics & feel

Hollow Knight: Silksong

While set in a different aesthetic, Silksong promises the same blend of challenging combat, intricate world design, and ability-gated exploration that made Metroid II a classic. Hornet's agility and new tools will offer a fresh take on a familiar formula.

Mega Man X

Like Metroid II, Mega Man X thrusts you into a hostile alien world with a powerful protagonist, demanding precise platforming and combat. The sense of progression comes from acquiring new abilities that open up new paths and strategies.

Planet Alpha

This indie gem delivers a visually stunning side-scrolling adventure with a constant sense of peril, much like Samus's solitary mission. It blends platforming, stealth, and light puzzle elements in a challenging alien environment.
