What genre do you think the game belongs to? Just a normal platformer?
I would say, while combat is not the focus in the game, it still has all the trappings of a metroidvania.

More puzzle platformer with progression in the form of abilities you unlock.
For why I don’t think it’s a metroidvania, it’s mostly because there’s no backtracking except for small optional stuff, you start from the center and go to each area in order and the areas themselves are mostly linear.
