I haven’t played a Metroidvania in a while and I’m looking for suggestions of some good ones to try. Some I would recommend:

Ender’s: Lilies (Magnolias is good too, but play Lilies first. The setting and theme hits better.)

Ori and the Blind Forest / Will of the Wisps (Will of the Wisps did bring a tear to my eye)

Monster Sanctuary (a creature capture metroidvania)

Any system is good, interested to hear of other good ones that are out there.

    I may have to try putting an emulator on my Steam Deck

    I always tought it was standard for pc players to have at least 1 emulator installed, usually Retroarch or Emulation Station.

    But since you are willing to give them a shot, try Metroid Fusion too, I admit it’s heavily on rails, but it feels fun and the movement is improved over Super Metroid.

    There is a patch to make Super Metroid behave somewhat like MF, but I think playing it vanilla first is fun on it’s own.
