Soo… Hollow Knight. I’ve been looking for a Metroidvania game and this popped up. How does it compare to Metroid? From the trailer footage and the reviews it looks more of a super-precise platformer like Celeste with lots of cruel boss fights.

Hollow Knight is great. The bosses are tough, but manageable. IIRC, the only really tough platforming section is optional. I've been picking Metroidvanias from this list lately and been pretty happy. He also has some good maps for them. https://demajen.co.uk/tierlist.html

I was recommended it after I finished both Oris but I remember getting super frustrated with the death system which made the whole thing too hardcore for me and my 2.7 minutes of free time. Did I do it wrong?

i lean more towards the metroid side of the metroidvania genre and i spent around 15 or so hours in hollow knight. it has beautiful design and very deep lore. the map goes on forever. the platforming is tough, but not exceedingly difficult. what made me give up is partially that the combat is too fast and goes on for too long, and partially that it has a corpse run mechanic, which i despise.

at least for a while you can get away with exploring somewhere else when an area seems too daunting, but after a while you hit combat roadblocks which means every failure requires a dash back with half health.

Hollow knight is great, it's one of my favorites. However if you are looking for something to scratch a Metroid itch, I'd suggest looking into Axiom Verge.

Looks awesome, thanks for the tip!

It's a beautiful game. One of the best I've played. I just love the atmosphere, art style and music

It's more focused on combat than platforming (tip: you can bounce off some spikes with a well timed downward aerial attack) and the typical metroidvania exploration and backtracking. Except there's a brutal optional platforming section that I haven't had the courage to face yet 😅

The bosses are tough, but not unfair. Some of the optional ones and the (true) final battle can be a bit frustrating but that makes finally succeeding just all the more satisfying.

Given that it it's a couple of years old now it's cheap to buy even when not on sale, so do yourself the favor and give it a try!

As someone who's quite a ways through the map, what platforming section are you referring to? (Maybe spoiler tag it)

[–] cabb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

He's referring to the

Path of pain

which is in The White Palace
