Metroidvanias are a beloved genre that have been around for decades - but they've only gotten popular relatively recently. That's a bit of a problem, because instead of having years and years worth of games to be inspired by, most metroidvanias are forced to remake the classics over and over again.
Why is this a problem? And what can be done about it? The Architect has a few ideas, and it's going to involve a round trip across Zebes, Nibel, and several spooky castles to figure out what's up with metroidvanias, and what the genre is actually all about.
