I‘ve restarted this game a few times, each time hoping that it will suddenly click with me. Never happened. I adore the story and the way the game looks, but the controls and save system just aren’t for me. A good lesson learned though - just because you love Hollow Knight doesn’t automatically mean you’ll love most metroidvanias out there. Personally I’d recommend Death’s Door if you’re looking for a game with a similar vibe/gameplay to Hollow Knight.
