Blasphemous 1 & 2: Very focused on religious themes. One of my favorite Metroidvanias, even if the first one has one or two annoying mechanics. I especially liked how this game rewards thorough exploration, the quests really got the balance between guiding and letting you find things by yourself right.
The Messenger: Also one of the best Metroidvanias in my opinion. Takes inspiration from both the 8-bit and 16-bit eras, and switches between them for exploration in a very interesting way.
Death's Door: A top-down 3D Metroidvania, so a little different, but I had a lot of fun with this one as well.
Unworthy: Getting into real hidden gem territory. Made by a single developer as far as I know, so it doesn't compete with games like Hollow Knight for example, but it's extremely impressive and everything from the look to the story and the gameplay is very consistent and combines for a very enjoyable experience.
