    Glad it worked out for the guy and he found a market, but I did give Hollow Knight about 15 minutes of my time and my eyes glazed over because I think I’m perma-bored with cartoonish 2D platformers. So, I do understand where some of those redditors are coming from. That said, there are people who like them, so there is a market out there for them and that’s great.

        FPS and RPGs. I actually have played a few side scrollers here and there, but not overly cartoonish ones. I personally don’t find the art style of Hollow Knight appealing.

          Cool. I personally like Metroidvania’s so it’s not the art style that grabbed me first but the genre. With that said I really like the style, I think it looks bloody lovely.

              Yeah. I lean towards the Metroid games more because I’ve played more of tyem. But I’ve played and enjoyed Castlevania games too. Although not Symphony of the Night yet, which is probably slightly sacrilegious.
