Dreads movement and gameplay mogs the fuck out of this game. Why df is it so hightly praised? Is it just the music and level design?

>bought because tons of people recommended it
>play it
>bored after 2 hours
I didn’t like it.

I have never enjoyed a non metroid metroidvania besides rabi ribi. They unironically dont have the Nintendo magic

>why highly praised
Same reason Undertale is. Furries. It's always just furries.

I havent played Dread yet because I lost my switch and decided to wait for switch 2. But I'm not buying an S2 until the pokemon bundle releases.

Brainwashing, same reason why people love Mid Fox's stuff.

God, I really wish I could bury my face between his legs

Cause most metroidvania have rpg elements which is more similar to castlevania I think. In Metroid you collect your upgrades and you get stronger and stronger so if you get stuck you can always backtrack and collect more stuff. All indie metroidvanias I played have things like levels and switchable gear so finding something new isn't necessarily an upgrade.

One came out years before the other

Are you insane? Metroid Dread has constant qte and cutscene interruptions, shitty boss fight, barely any music or real gameplay compared to hollow knight
go back to playing metroid prime scan games instead 3d metroid is more up your speed shitter

>>717078294 (OP)
exploration and atmosphere mainly, theres a ton of hidden stuff and those heureka moments where a long path plops you back somewhere youve already been

the combat also gets pretty deep, but it takes a shitton of time to get there so that is a valid L

sucks a nigger AIDS dick. Mercury Steam is an absolute garbage developer.
legitimately kill yourself, retard

I liked Axiom Verge 1 (stay the fuck away from 2).

>exploration
that's HK's weakest part, due to the shitty flash game tier movement

hollow knight is the nortubel of metroidvanias

Dread is linear as shit with worse combat and worse platforming. Path of Pain is one of my all-time favourite platforming segments in all of vidya.

Hollow Knight forever living rent free in in Metroidregs' minds.

Kill yourself

Well, I was looking for them constantly while playing, and didn't find any. And the game constantly cuts off backtracking, making you follow the linear path the devs designed for you. The game sucks as a metroidvania.

I liked HK, but I don't feel like replaying it because movement is way too slow.

Sad bugs, le deep Reddit story, female bug porn

>>717078294 (OP)
Both the exploration and combat clicks for me after i got used to the pogo/downslash

Also the music on this game is just fine, kinda overrated. Great sound design though

>>717078294 (OP)
I liked it.

>>717081010
Skippable sections are pretty different from intentionally nonlinear level design. Skips are more aimed at people who have played the game before and are already very knowledgeable about the mechanics and mostly reward people who are trying something different or speedrunners. Nonlinear level design, on the other hand, is aimed at someone playing the game for the first time and going in blind. They serve different functions in level design.
