The Evolution of Metroidvania, Platformers & Indie genres

Описание: 2D games didn’t disappear — they evolved.

In this video, we break down the games that defined modern 2D gaming, from Metroidvania exploration to precision platformers and expressive pixel art indie games.

We explore how three core pillars shaped the genre:
• Metroidvania — world design, exploration, and progression
• Platformers — movement, precision, and mastery
• Pixel Art Indie — emotion, atmosphere, and artistic identity

Featuring genre-defining games like Super Metroid, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Hollow Knight, Super Mario World, Celeste, Hyper Light Drifter, Katana Zero, and more.

This is not just a list — it’s a breakdown of how 2D games were refined, perfected, and redefined over time.
