Ronnie21093 (npub1st2…2wu9) Depends on where you wanna start. For the metroid-vania RPG side, either SoTN or Aria of Sorrow are often seen as best entries, and I can say from personal experience Aria is super polished and well made.
If you want to start with the classic games, honestly just mess around with a few of them and see which one feels like a good starting entry to you. Most classic games are under a few hours long, hell some being under an hour once you get used to them. Each classic game also has its own specific mechanics and, until far later, view of the game's world and stories so there's a lot of ways to explore it. The most polished one though has to be Rondo of Blood, and it's a really good entry, so you could always pull out an emulator for that. A lot of the better entries are all now in some form of collection on PC, so checking out Anniversary collection or Advance collection isn't a bad place to start.
