I know this is far from a hot take but this game is so fucking good.

I loved Super Metroid and any game that reminds me of it, but this seriously feels like Super Metroid plus an extra two decades worth of game design and technological progress.

    Welcome to the world of modern metroidvanias. Hollow Knight is a great game and has probably the best ambiance and art style of any of the modern metroidvanias. I would also recommend:

    • Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (I personally loved this one)
    • Ori and the Will of the Wisps (theres also the first one that I didn’t play)

    Some not exactly metroidvanias but good progressive platformers:

    • Bastion
    • Celeste

    And maybe some others I played last year that I can’t think of. I will update if so.
