I think hollow knight belongs to the most overrated game in the top 3.
But that just my opinion. Basic gameplay (nothing new). Music isn't that good or memorable (if you compare it to metroid or castlevania).
It's better then dread, but still generic. The music of ori is better. Music is a big deal for me, it's equal important as gameplay for me.
Anyway, lack of variety enemy design. Blurred world backgrounds with lack of colors
Example lack colors
Bosses are flash designed :
example 1 -
example 2
Maybe thats your thing and thats ok. I'm going to replay the game soon again to see if i can review my opinion again.
Don't get me wrong, it's a good avg game. Gameplay is fine, but basic. I don't say it's a bad game. But i find ori way better except the leveldesign.
