Aria of Sorrow
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow is the first Castlevania game I've played in my life and I'm happy to say that I was not disappointed by it.
I'm used to workings of Metroidvania, however, as I recently finished Zero Mission and therefore the back and forth puzzle dungeoning was easy to get to grips with.
Aria of Sorrow pits you as Soma, a boy with the dark powers of being able to absorb the souls of various ghoulish creatures. This allows our protagonist to use their powers in combat such as throwing bones or summoning creatures such as Death as well as in puzzles to fall through the air slowly or walk on water.
I enjoyed the story enough, although I imagine that every Castlevania game has some sort of Dracula plot in it. A good length to keep me occupied and secrets to bring me back so I can get the special ending.
