    I guess the fact that HK has to be in the first post of every thread for this genre is the real accomplishment for Team Cherry. Bravo to them.

    I tried Ender Lillies a few days ago and quit a few hours in. I truly do not understand how it has overwhelmingly positive reviews on steam. The sound design is awful. Feels like half of the sound effects are missing. The rooms are all the same, the combat is slow, the map sucks. It's such a weird game only maybe carried by its artstyle and music

        That would be an easy way to say you haven't played hk then. I have 40 hours in HK and it's literally a polar opposite to Ender Lillies and everything I said about it

        I thought Ender Lillies would be something like Ori, but I guess not.

      That's exactly how i felt with hollow knight.

      I feel like the industry and the playerbase are focusing on the wrong things. Both of those games should not be anything above a 7. The music is horrible and i'm a milli fan, i found the key ingredients albums to be enjoyable, it's the same song with different tracks muted depending on the are you are in. Maybe one day the games will be about gameplay again, just like dread, man what a blunder.

          That's one of the problems with dread, the game is designed around gameplay and not exploration this time, it's too linear even if you back track.

          With hollow knight there's nothing, no gameplay, exploration is linear, no challenge.

      I think it's a solid 7, nothing more, nothing less. It's too derivative of Hollow Knight in terms of story and a bit too easy, but it's fun all the same. I don't really get the hate for the combat, it's fine and clearly design to be "slow".

          Around 5 hours, the slow ass movement turned what could've easily been 30-1 hour of content into 5 hours. I'm not ok with that.

          Metroid rhythm is completely based on your ability to control Metroid, that's why the time to beat is all over the place.

    I dropped Dread after I was locked out of the previous area yet another time. Ender Lilies has a route split pretty early on, and there were points in time when I had 3 different new areas to explore at my leisure, while Dread wants me to follow the developers' route at all times. What the hell is the point of a metroidvania when you aren't allowed to explore? The combat isn't good enough to justify complete linearity

    How is Grime? I thought the setting is intersting enough.
    A weird surrealist world that strives towards geometric perfection.
    Combat looks fun, everything slow but hits heavy.
    But the platforming looks janky and weird. (My biggest problem with most metroidvanias, they're 2d games with garbage platforming Blasphemous / ok platforming Hollow Knight)

      I was a few hours into it, but stalled a few months ago to wait for Steam Deck. I like it, a fun metroidvania, but from what I remember the platforming wasn't particularly good. It didn't feel as floaty as Bloodstained, but it wasn't particularly good either
      At least the combat and exploration is fun

    Personally, I value great movement and an interesting skill progression over battle mechanics in Metroidvanias, which is why I prefer the Ori games over HK, for example. That doesn't mean that HK is completely without its own merits though.
