Great atmosphere
Great ost
Polished gameplay

Is not a groundbreaking Metroidvania but it was cheap and the dlcs were free.
Also, the devs were 2 guys so it got lot of attention.

There is actually an achievemnet in the game called the "Happy Couple" in the context that it references two male bugs.

Neither of those games are at the peak of their genre, SotN is especially bad. In fact, every non-linear castlevania is just garbage. And as for metroid, well those are boring toddler games at this point. Why do I feel like I've completely outgrown the preferences of the most frequent and moronic posters here like 20 years ago? It's all so tiresome.

Why does he deserve that? He should go actually beat hollow knight and come back with something intelligent to say for once. There's no reason to try and convince people who clearly don't like real games.

its one of the best metroidvania you can find it, the first one or two hours is slow because you have no abilities but after that its nonstop amazing. I think the first 2 hours of slow are a good guard for it against adhd zoomers and faggot retards.

Hollow Knight is a game with 40 hours of content that can be beaten in 2 hours. Metroid is a game with 2 hours of content that can be beaten in 1 and a half hours.

Played them both. Hollow Knight has too much filler and a boss rush mode nobody cares about. Super Metroid is better from start to finish.

This feels like a very silly complaint purely because by praising super metroid you're aware that a game is capable of being cleared much quicker once you know what you're doing. That principle applies to both games, I'd say HK probably takes the average player twice the time of super metroid on their second clear of each, at most. Unless you're going for like 117% or whatever at which point that's on you for choosing to pursue it and then complain about too much meat

I can't think of a single part of super metroid that is enjoyable or interesting to me. Pretty consistently great level design in Hollow Knight though.

Its slow to start. I dropped it after the first boss girl(I don't remember her name). It's a soulslike metroidvania. Not for me but I can see people getting into it (that's where the good reviews come from. Some people like that ganere); if that sounds like something you'll like then go for it. If you are looking for a metroidvania game that doesn't fight you at every turn, I like the Ori games. They have tight controls and good OST; Challanging but not soul sucking and slow like HK.

Most of the game's issues would be solved by removing Geo from the game entirely. It's a worthless system that adds nothing but padding to the game
