@ampersandrew @tal I am excited for that. I guess I just miss Castlevania. Too bad Konami is a dumpster fire.

Looking at this list, maybe -- depending on the era you like -- Bloodstained: Curse Of The Moon, or Hollow Knight for Metroidvanias with similar-to-Castlevania themes?
I have only briefly played Salt & Sanctuary, but it looks thematically kind of like Castlevania, and it's a popular Metroidvania.
EDIT: It looks like the Bloodstained series is trying to fill in the classic Castlevania gap. I kind of preferred the later Castlevania games -- PS2 or GBA -- but this might be what you want. The Steam reviews have people grouching about how Konami isn't doing this any more:
