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.

Welcome to the world of modern metroidvanias. Hollow Knight is a great game and has probably the best ambiance and art style of any of the modern metroidvanias. I would also recommend:
Some not exactly metroidvanias but good progressive platformers:
And maybe some others I played last year that I can't think of. I will update if so.
Super Meatboy is pretty solid
And Bastion isn't really a platformer, it's like a moba or something. Transistor is also good (same studio) and takes the Bastion gameplay and turns it into a sorta realtime tactics thing.
I mean, the M in Moba stands for "multiplayer", so that's definitely not Bastion
Then a soba? The way you're using abilities in a cool down against time of ads is very similar to the gameplay of something like league of legends.
I don't really see the similarity, to be honest
bastion is just a really good linear brawler/action game.
