exploration and atmosphere. I really hope combat will be better in silksong, contact damage in melee games is fucking retarded
Connor Jones
mellow as fuck, beautiful art, lots of diverse environments to explore
basically 100% of what I want in a game
Asher Stewart
tried and true combat system, upgrades that let you explore and revisit areas, and exploration in general are what hooked me.
Gavin Scott
it's Super Metroid with even better music and art and also you get to be a bug. what else could you want
Elijah Cook
Low Yea Forums standards
Michael Hernandez
These. Also the small little details with character interactions make it feel on par with the Prime Trilogy's detail on lore and boss fights
Jace Gomez
It's not that good. I'm not a fan of the cryptic story and I would accept it if it was at least good but it's pretty mediocre and boring with no interesting themes. I don't like the character design either, too bland, simplistic and repetitive.

>lots of diverse environments to explore

It was probably your first experience with a Metroidvania. These games peaked with SOTN and La-Mulana for me.
Jose Moore
This. And it's repetitive. The constant backtracking is extremely tedious. Station placement is too few and far between. The atmosphere is nice, though.
Ayden Taylor
This is 100% accurate for these faggots that praise this game
Ian Stewart
nice argument, cope.
Juan Bell
pogo jump. Literally always makes a game better.
Daniel Myers
Everything but Godmaster was great
Gabriel Anderson
My first Metroidvania was Super Metroid, followed by SOTN, Axiom Verge, Circle of the Moon, Aria of Sorrow, others. Hollow Knight is probably my favorite.
Easton Phillips
Then my second guess is that you started playing these games post-90's.
Isaac Morris
visual design, boss fights, music, and value for money
Ryan Russell
You're zero for two, friend. Super Metroid was probably my third most played SNES game after A Link to the Past and Super Mario RPG.

you don't post an apostrophe between the numbers and the s

Well, guess it's a matter of taste then. I haven't gotten anything out of these games past SOTN and La-Mulana that I didn't already get, or want, so for me Hollow Knight is an inferior retread, not unlike all the SOTN clones.
