I played Ori and the Blind Forest which I enjoyed, although I was expecting a metroidvania. The platforming was quite fun and challenging enough and the art looked great.
I played a bit of Moonring, which seems really good, but I'm probably not used to the genre and found it a bit too confusing to continue.
I briefly played Marvel Rivals with a friend, I had fun with it in these first few hours, but I haven't played hero shooters before so it's early for me to judge. I'm a bit surprised there's no restrictions on roles in a party, as most matches seem to have 1 tank and 4 dps and as a healer I can't figure out how to keep everyone alive alone. Hopefully ranked is more balanced.
Also started playing DnD (5e) with friends. First time, seems fun. I'm playing artificer, planning on specializing to alchemist at lvl 3.
What genre do you think the game belongs to? Just a normal platformer?
I would say, while combat is not the focus in the game, it still has all the trappings of a metroidvania.
More puzzle platformer with progression in the form of abilities you unlock.
For why I don't think it's a metroidvania, it's because there's no backtracking when you get a new ability (except for small optional stuff), you start from the center and go to each area in order and the areas themselves are mostly linear.
