Whether you call them metroidvanias, search action, or pathfinder games, there's no denying the genre inspired by Super Metroid and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night has become one of the most popular around, especially in the indie scene. If you feel the itch to explore and unlock doors, then Humble's new Return to Metroidvanias Bundle is definitely worth checking out. The deal gets you up to eight highly rated Metroidvania PC games for just $14.
Like all Humble Bundles, the Return to Metroidvanias Bundle benefits charity. In this case, a portion of each purchase is donated to Cool Effect, an organization dedicated to reducing pollution and curb the effects of climate change. So not only are you helping save a bunch of 2D virtual worlds, you're helping save our own, too.
BioGun
All eight games are delivered as official Steam keys. Almost all of the games are fully playable on Steam Deck, too, with the sole exception of BioGun--it's playable, but has very noticeable performance issues and requires tinkering with the controls. We'd recommend playing BioGun on a Windows PC instead. It's a great game, especially if you favor the Metroid side of the genre.
Humble's Return to Metroidvania Bundle is available through April 30. If you're looking for more deals--or more Metroidvania games to add to your Steam library--you'll want to check out Humble's other bundles available right now. The Best of Boomer Shooters 4 bundle includes seven games for $16, including the first-person Metroidvania shooter Powerslave Exhumed. The Neon Lights bundle gets you eight cyberpunk-themed games, including 2D action-adventures and platformers like Anno: Mutationem, Neon Blood, Black Future '88, and more.
