3D games are still pretty difficult for a small team to pull off with a small budget.

Metroid Prime.
It’s insane to me how many Souls Likes could be 3D Metroidvanias if they used special powers to clear obstacles instead of just keys or random triggers to unlock new areas. That’s really the only thing I see that separates the genres.

I’ve heard High on Life is a metroidvania, but I haven’t played it myself. You’re right that 3D metroidvanias are exceptionally rare.

I suppose it is. 🤔
You have traversal tools, but also the different guns are used to solve puzzles and progression may be locked behind having the right guns.

The Tomb Raider survivor trilogy comes pretty close.

A fantastic game, and the remaster looks gorgeous.

I recently played the original via Primehack, a fork of Dolphin Emulator which (among other things) modernises the controls

have you tried Supraland? it’s weirdly the closest thing to metroid prime i’ve played in a long time, and it’s got completely the opposite tone. it’s hilarious.
