I thoroughly enjoyed Metal Garden, and would highly recommend it if you're a fan of this kind of megastructure design, and tight, well designed exploration and platforming.
Combat

133 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The exploration is very strong here, with looping level design that features lots of verticality, with bonuses for going out of your way and searching everything, sometimes being rewarded with extra lore or weapons.

Great atmosphere and soundtrack (especially the music at the end of the game).
