Starting new games can feel like a lifelong commitment when you think about them in terms of their playtime. I think we've all had one game we've impulse-purchased and then found ourselves playing for weeks and months, unaware it was over 50 hours long when we got it.
Out of the many options we have with video games, the Metroidvania genre is one of the best sweet spots in terms of length. Most Metroidvanias can take a few hours if you know them well. Some understand this and expand what they offer to keep you adventuring for way, way longer.
You know how that feels, right? When you finally beat the boss that you said was your goal for the day, and you look back, and it feels like it took twice as long? That's the power of a good Metroidvania. Where the world is so large, inviting, and engrossing that time feels like a complete myth around you. With these games, it doesn't matter how long you spend with them. What you get out of them is the most important thing here.
You're probably looking for a long Metroidvania to sink a few days of time into, right? Luckily, I've gathered the best ones that really immerse you in their worlds. Just make sure to poke your head out of the sand every once in a while. We don't want you to lose your senses as a person in general.
Get comfortable, because a lot of the games on this list are going to be hand-drawn 2D adventures. It seems to be an unspoken rule among Metroidvania developers that if they're going as far as to draw countless frames of animation for their games, they're going big or going home. Because there's a trend that these gorgeous games have impressive levels of content within them, and Aeterna Noctis is no exception.
Aeterna Noctis is quite literally the most hit-or-miss Metroidvania out there. It's sitting at a 50% recommendation rating from critics and being recognized as the dividing line between those who like a platforming focus in their Metroidvanias and those that don't. If this sounds like your kind of game, then you've got plenty of land to cover. There are plenty of interesting locations, like a church with a foreshadowed boss rising in the background, a crystal mine filled with abandoned, short-circuiting technology, and, of course, plenty of backtracking.
This game might not be a Metroidvania that makes you forget you've got a controller in your hand, but it'll resonate with the right people. Is that you? Only one way to find out.
