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.

    I played both DS1 and Hollow Knight this past year and the hardest thing between both of those games was easily Nightmare King Grimm. I was on the precipice of a controller smash.

      Nightmare King Grimm is the only boss that made me just straight up quit a video game. I know I can just move on because he's optional but it doesn't feel right continuing any further because he's defeated me so thoroughly.

        Yeah I got stuck in that loop too. "Why am I doing this? It's optional." But I'll tell you, finally mastering that fight after many hours was extremely gratifying. His patterns eventually show but the reaction times are still so precise. I experimented with so many different badges.
