We're all familiar with the genre through CV and I love talking about them and hearing recommendations so which do you like? Right now my absolute fav standalone Metroidvania game is Hollow Knight which feels like a cliche answer but it's just so good. The world is put together beautifully and it feels like there's so much to uncover in it, both in its map and with its lore, that it really feels like the devs appreciated the genre and played heavily into the deep exploration aspect that fans of these games love.
Others I like include Cave Story, which is a bit loose in terms of the definition of a Metroidvania but could be said to have pioneered the genre and is one I grew up with, the Metroid series as a whole, and Team Ladybug's stuff like SMT: Synchronicity Prologue and Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth, which are kinda short but have such a good pixel art style and have some fun bullet hell/Ikaruga elements. I'd love to try Touhou Luna Knights but I'm waiting for a sale and to be in the mood for it lol

I am of course a huge Bloodstained fan! And I've been meaning to try Hollow Knight sometime... I think the one big obstacle for me getting into new metroidvanias is that I'm just not as into metroidvanias without EXP/level up systems like Castlevania, which I think is a bit hard to find since a lot more of the new wave of indie metroidvanias are more directly metroid inspired... Hmm. I tried Ori and the Blind Forest several years ago and enjoyed it, but I don't think I ever beat it.
I feel like I need to play more games in general, I haven't picked something up in a little while.
