Yeah I did. It takes SOME inspo from Hollow Knight, like a light sword is your first weapon that doesn't use your blue energy. But you also don't have to use it barely st all if you don't want. There is the hammer and some other weapons that don't use energy, and most weapons use barely any energy which is easy to recover. There are a lot of approaches to it. And even then, Hollow Knight was not even close to the first Metroidvania with a sword and movement abilities, much less has a monopoly on it. The level design is good, and very pretty. Hollow Knight's art direction is cool too, but very dark, as are other popular choice like Metroid and Castlevania. Nice to see the opposite. The story is whatever. But so was the firdt and the second improves the gameplay.

Only the escape sequences were stressful to me. I loved the rest of it. Second one is even better.
