some people definitely has genuine criticism of the game for whatever reason and good for them for at least trying it and finding out its not their cup of tea but i'm pretty sure alot of anons are playing out of hate for the popular thing and is going into the game expecting something that they don't even know if they want or not coupled with a pessimist pre-disposition to the game and i feel bad for them. this happened with BG3, EXP33 and will continue happening while /v/ is alive.

that said, for me HK is a straight fun metroidvania with great atmosphere, soundtrack, artstyle and captivating world. wouldn't say its a masterpiece precisely because it doesn't do anything completely out of the box and i haven't played the most acclaimed metroidvanias to state higher or lower quality, but all i can say is my experience was definitely a fun and quality one.
