    FYI: c/metroidvanias

    Love both, and very excited for their next game, No Rest for the Wicked - which I don’t know if it’s been said explicitly, but is rumored to also be a Metroidvania.

    I know it might be a little cliché, but I would still rank Hollow Knight as my #1 Metroidvania, but these two are my #2A and #2B, even after loving the new Prince of Persia. The level of polish is incredible and Wisps just cranked it up even more.

    I enjoyed the video the IGN posted about them yesterday.

    This series is really good. The second game is the only one I’ve ever preordered. I also bought and played through the enhanced edition right before it came out.

    Like a handful of other people in this thread, I found the shift in combat to be a bit jarring, making the game focus a bit more on combat in general. That said, the original combat which was certinaly required was very uninteresting – mashing 1 button until their HP hit 0 – so the shift to the newer system wasn’t completely unwelcome.

    The music and visuals of this game are incredible as well. Both probably in the top 5 of games for me.
