Zexion is a game that just sort of manifested itself to me one day, out of nowhere. It got listed as the #1 favorite game of 2025 by a content creator I really like and have followed for more than a decade, but also someone whose taste I’ve learned toâ€

Highly recommended if you like elements of classic metroid and mega man. It gets a bit cryptic sometimes, but to me it adds to the fun. The bosses are insanely creative and fun to fight against. AGAIN, highly recommend playing this.

This game impressed me in ways that I'm not sure if I'll be able to fully articulate.
When I first saw it, it looked like a retro Metroid throwback, which would be fine but probably not anything special. I'll note here that while I think the graphics, m

Very well designed, but also unbelievably hard game. My god. Once I got past the initial control scheme bump and learned to *only* use LB to jump, the game felt much more fair. The movement felt snappy and responsive, and once you are able to move, jump,

In an extremely oversaturated genre, Zexion stands out as great metroidvania. It evokes the vibe of the original Metroid, while having more modern QoL features. It's very challenging, particularly as you get deeper into the game, but if difficulty isn't y

As a metroidvania, this game was up there. I liked the progression of items and how big and interconnected the map was. And the retro art style is always going to to do it for me. The bosses were such a spectacle in this game and would be worth it for

Fun blend of retro limitations with modern conveniences. Great environmental storytelling. Can't seem to put this one down. Great game.

This is a metroidvania that I honestly think rivals Silksong in terms of the best in its genre in 2025. There's so much to love about this game, from all the unique, charming, and memorable moments, to its challenging but pretty fair difficulty, to its ex

Man. What a game. I don't usually bother with these but I just want to make sure a solo dev gets their flowers. If you like Metroid, Animal Well, Silksong, or Dark Souls, you'll be a fan of this. There are some parts that are *extremely* hard, but don't f

One of the best indie metroidvanias I've played that is more inspired by Metroids mechanics rather than Castlevania with its overloading on rpg weapon collections and such, each item matters here like it does in a metroid game.

There's a lot going for this game, particularly in the level design. But I probably wouldn't have finished this without the assist options for damage reduction because certain sections reach a point where you're just spamming and hoping you can out DPS wh

It's an incredibly fun metroidvania with a lot of secrets and rewarding exploration. Combat for the most part is hard but fair. Theres a few enemies/encounters that are unfun/frustrating but they are few and far between (and one of the enemies is entirely

Interesting, but needlessly aggravating. You have missiles, but no reliable way to restore them. No reliable way to farm energy, either. So you might have a missile cap of 50 but you'll go into a boss fight with 0 so it's extremely moot.
It allows you

While it starts out promising and technically really well put together, Zexion is ultimately a generic metroidvania, except the difficulty curve is quite steep in the beginning, that then falls off a cliff in the middle and finally jumps to the stratosphe

This is actually as good as metroid and even though the end game is hard i could use the accessibility options to make it a bit easier to finish and see the end. The lore is well thought out and interesting to read. Im looking forward to playing super Zex
