Ori series, specifically Ori and the Will of the Wisps. It’s my absolute favorite game of all time. It’s got the amazing visuals and insanely good OST, crisp and satisfying platforming and combat, engaging and unique bossfights, incredibly gripping story, good difficulty settings and going for 100% is rewarding and not nearly as annoying as in many other games. While it may stray a tiny bit from the classic Metroidvania formula I think it still does it incredibly well.

The only thing that comes to mind is the mobile game Seedship, which I do highly recommend. It’s not the most expansive game but still fun. No “free typing” though.

Lots and lots of Vintage Story. It feels like a much more mature version of Minecraft and a combination of the best features of it and games like The Forest, even though it’s still in early access.
