Man, you should give Prince of Persia the Lost Crown a look if you like metroidvanias, it's really good. And if you prefer roguelikes The Rogue Prince of Persia is also really good.
FC3 was a long time ago, too. Much as I find their template for open world games has been tired for a while, they have done more than that. Rayman Legends is an all time great, came out after that. The Trials games had good entires after FC3. Trackmania is quirky, but I do like it quite a bit. Child of Light is newer. Grow Home is newer. Definitely worth checking out. The Mario and Rabbids games were solid tactical games. The Anno games are a very specific flavor of strategy with few alternatives, and as conservative as the Division games are, they were a guilty pleasure for me.
I don't know how anybody can hate all of that at once, frankly. That's a lot of of very competent entries in a whole lot of genres to be mad about.
