    Ha, indeed I never even got into hollow knight and didn’t even find it appealing. Big metroidvania player otherwise. Love dead cells.

    Anyhow, I really like(d) expedition 33, played through on easy. Due to the qte stuff which I wish could be turned off entirely. It’s also a question of accessibility imo.

    Technically it’s not really great and should perform way better on ps5 or pc.

    But whatever, it was generally a good game.

      Hollow Knight mostly had pretty barebones movement for a metroidvania. Great for combat, not fun for going from point A to B, and HK has seemingly more backtracking that other metroidvanias. Silksong actually has a sprint button that makes it all better.

      Expedition 33 is still good, but a lot of people go as far as saying it’s the best JRPG last decade, which feels like a copout when half of it is not being a JRPG. It feels like the Persona 5 hype all over again (which was a full on JRPG, mind you, but it also had problems and I felt was just good)
