Not that I'm trying to be rude or anything but I feel like the OP has actually posted this thread verbatim before. If that was addressed already, never mind. Just though I'd say, good on you for persistence matey.

Honestly it's no sweat off my back if labyrinthine is a "lame word". I'll just think of another cool word to say, that's how little it means to me.

i looked up on wikipedia that sometimes they are called castletroids or igavanias.

it's not much better tho.

i thought these and metroidvania were just used to describe the castlevanias that aped metroid's layout...

Super Metroid was the first perfect example and then Nintendo spent 20 years not bothering while Konami picked up the slack and made like 8 killer games. So if anything Castlevania should get higher billing.

i like that super metroid and sotn are put together like that often because metroid feels very carefully designed and sotn feels like an insane kitchen sick mess but theyre both really cool

guacamelee felt real bland to me overall but the power upgrades are pretty cool in that they vastly changed your ability to move around the screen, to the point where one of the extra challenge areas is pretty much learning to climb a sheer wall covered in spikes

it was the first metroidvania i'd played in a long time, so it really clicked with me and i played it in basically one go, but i have no desire to ever play it again

it probably coulda been a completely linear platformer instead of a metroidvania and come off just as well

I think the "vania" is because rondo of blood or castlemania 2 already have some metroidvania elements

The Portal dungeon in that was pure fail, which was particularly jarring since the rest of the game was decent iirc.

yeah as established the hookshot was actually good, double hookshot managed to be more than twice as good.

the REAL travesty was what they did to that awesome skateboard-gear. The boss fight where you jump from track to track remains my favorite zelda moment of all time, too bad you could only use that in like three other spots on the map though.
