The Steam Autumn Sale is well underway, offering steep discounts on everything from the biggest blockbusters to the quaintest indies until next week on November 28. Arguably the best thing about the discount fest, though, is that our 24 favorite Metroidvanias are on sale for as low as $2.
Metroidvanias are those zig-zagging, labyrinthine games inspired by the genre’s two namesakes: Metroid and Castlevania. You’ll need to progress to unlock new abilities, which will then let you go back and access other areas, bypass previously locked obstacles, and look uber-stylish while doing so. It’s essentially an exercise in learning a map like the back of your hand, and then untangling the big, knotted mess with super cool moves.
