1. I only have a Switch

Shovel Knight (and it’s various spin offs) and Tunic are good for slightly less frenetic but equally compelling variations on something like Dead Cells!
HUNTER
RISE
There is a free demo for it so go and give it a try
if you have nintendo switch online you can also play metroid 1 2 and 3, if you have online plus expansion you can also play metroid 4 (Metroid Fusion), and metroid 1's remake (metroid: zero mission)
Torchlight II is fun (ignore 3 & 4)
Immortals Fenyx Rising for running around :)
Metroid Dread
Fire Emblem warriors: 3 Hopes
Axiom Verge 1&2
Unsighted
Or I can also recommand Darkest Dungeon.
I've enjoyed it quite a bit. Their characters are cute :3
Have a nice death (rogue like)
Tho there isn't much of any combat. Some sequences could be called "combat", but even then that's stretching.
Not a Metroidvania, but a lot of fun, and doesn’t require pixel-precision: STREETS OF RAGE 4 is a great beat-em-up.
RIVER CITY GIRLS 1 & 2 are also a lot of fun, with longer stories and upgrade paths. 2 has more characters—even Marion from Double Dragon.
Also it looks and sounds amazing.
also I have bought Disco Elysium but I'm waiting for the depths of winter hibernation to play it
thanking you kindly!
thanks all! please stop sending recs now as it's getting overhwleming! but do look through the replies if you too need some game recs
If you enjoy action Metroidvanias, try Hyper Light Drifter
Also, this one doesn't have much in the way of combat, but Yoku's Island Express is another Metroidvania, only with pinball mechanics.

- Inscryption
- Hyper Light Drifter
- Blasphemous
- Ender Lilies
- Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight
- Axiom Verge
But SERIOUSLY, I have a huge recommendation since noone is playing it: Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus. It is EXACTLY Hollow Knight except a tad less combat. Beautiful art, intense platforming, pogo-ing, awesome boss fights. Please play this game. More need to
My recommendations started and ended there I’m afraid, happy hunting.
Some fun roguelikes: One Step From Eden (very different), Curse of the Dead Gods
Also, Xenoblade Chronicles (1, 2, and/or 3) are very good if you can appreciate JRPGs
