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.

    Been meaning to try it. Super Metroid is very up there for favorite games, better give it a go.

      Highly recommend.

      I don't know if you would agree with this but for me the worst parts of Super Metroid were all the fiddling that's necessary to switch weapons and the fact that sometimes progression feels more like tanking a bunch of hits to your massive health bar than getting more skilled as a player, and Hollow Knight deals with both of those.

        Ugh the toggling sucks for sure. I usually play in a emulator and out item toggle and cancel to L and R 2

        That's an endorsement if I've ever heard one. Looks like my shitty laptop should be able to run it.
