If the wait for Hollow Knight Silksong is killing you, Xbox Game Pass just dropped another all-timer Metroidvania you should probably try
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in Rain World.
Watching your character, called a 'slugcat', slink and slide through pipes and peel itself off walls and cram itself into little nests captivated me before launch, and said GIFs did their job - I couldn't wait to get my hands on it when it finally released. The combat isn't as satisfying as Team Cherry's insectoid platformer, granted, but the desperation communicated - through your slugcat's use of debris and spears to defend itself from the threats that prowl around the obtuse, post-industrial ecosystem of the world - certainly works. It remaps your brain (at least, it does if you grew up on a steady diet of Metroid and Castlevania) and represents one of the lesser-explored peaks of the modern Metroidvania renaissance - and I think it's just as essential an experience as Hollow Knight.
