A neat idea for a game - Metroidvania + Rogue Like! I hope you like super specific genres.
Dead Cells is a nice breezy game (Not to be confused with easy) that has a fun rhythm and flow, though I don't know that I see a real value in the "Metroidvania" aspect to it, as the progression feels a lot more like a typical Rogue-Like.
My only knock against the game is that wiped runs are a bit more demoralizing than some others in the Rogue-Like category for some reason, and I can only do 1 run in a single session before moving on to something else.
