i appreciate that the game is well made but god this aesthetic is so fucking boring.

>>713822326 (OP)
Its a very shitty version of Super Metroid. Only slightly tolerable when you get dash and double jump. Don't bother

>where the fuck is the minimap, objective pointers, and yellow paint?
>this game sucks
A lack of spacial navigation capabilities is a woman trait. You arent as dumb as a woman, are you?

Very reductionist. You must not like the genre very much.

Most metroidvanias are bad because they only copy the backtracking aspect and not anything good.

>>713822326 (OP)
its 2D. you either go left or right you fucking sperg

I liked this game until I didn't anymore. The grossly cromulent controls that will have you falling back on one leg only to get up on three, the characters with no narrative pedigree and dripping with slorm, the combat that does less with more and begs to tbe heard only for its cries to fall on deaf ears. It's a very neotenous game and it suffers a lot for it.

Kino. Adore these. Played Wizardry recently. Being lost feels amazing. Dark Souls does it too. Blighttown is still vivid to me.

That's not true at all. You can also go up and down.

Do you really need to ragebait for a Hollow Knight thread? I'm sure you can keep a thread going if you talked about pantheons or charm builds or something that would actually invite discussion and not just
>that's a dumb thing to say OP

I never thought I had an amazing sense of direction then I started watching people play Metroidvanias on youtube where they'd get totally lost after moving two screens or be pulling up the map every 10 seconds and I realized I must be some kind of spatial awareness demigod.

easily one of the most linear metroidvania games
if you get lost you're dumber than a 8 year old with no internet access

>>713822326 (OP)
>its one of those "where the fuck do you go" kind of games
it is a metroidvania, yes

If you can perform any kind of basic task in a video game without issue you're probably at least of average competence if not above average.
It's irrelevant that it's a video game because most of these tasks, like spacial awareness, do not require any specialized knowledge of video games. It's just a retard check.

>where the fuck do you go
meh, just make screenshots of everything you don't understand. it's that easy.

>>713822326 (OP)
Is that a good thing or a bad thing in this case

>>713822326 (OP)
>its one of those "where the fuck do you go" kind of games
that's the only good kind of game
