So here is a generic question, I feel like I’ve been sharing too many news articles. My favorite so far is Final Doom - The Plutonia Experiment however it seems like Celeste can take it’s place. How about you? Bonus question: What is your favorite genre? I love First Person Shooters most myself.
My introduction to the Souls-like genre was Hollow Kight, it didn’t make a good first impression to say the least :(
Wait, you didn’t enjoy Hollow Knight?
Souls-like mechanics ruined everything for me. Having only 2 checkpoints in a big map and having them both really far away from the boss isn’t fun for me. I can’t learn his pattern becsuse I forget whay little I have learned while trying to get back to him, having to hunt your soul just to get your stuff back is also very frustrating. I will probably play Dark Souls at one point just for the sake of being open-minded, but I am not looking forward to it at all.
Aah, I guess I can understand that! I like games that are a bit punishing, so for me those are not huge hurdles stopping me from enjoying the game. But hey, thank God we’re all different :grinning face with smiling eyes:
Hollow Knight is more of a Metroidvania than a Soulslike, probably. Those terms are pretty vague though.
It is a metroidvania with souls-like elements, latter of which pretty much ruins the game.

No, apperantly souls-likes are supposed to be like this. Hollow Knight definitely has some of those.
