I would highly recommend Rogue Legacy 2 over Hollow Knight. Hollow Knight is more of just a metroidvania, it’s great, but didnt satisfy that rogue like itch for me.
I found this game broken back In the day. I would test my team and they would be human, then within a minute (not leaving my sight), one would turn into the thing.
They are great, but the unskipable cutscenes kill me.
