I feel like I'm the only one who didn't think Hollow Knight was anything special.

Not a bad game by any means, but it's kind of just a decent metroidvania with a cool art style. I've never understood the insane amount of hype.

    Name the last metroidvania that was that themed and had good fight mechanics before hollow knight?

    Cause axiom verge had been like a 100% clone of metroid and Dust came out in 2012 almost a decade earlier.
    Hollow Knight was for a lot of people their first Metroidvania that tried to create its own thing and stuck to openworld of metroidvanias while letting you use different mechanics to move forward to bot make it linear.

    Its beloved cause its honestly a rare game type.
