The Standard Soulsvania

You play as a small knight descending into Hallownest, a vast underground kingdom that has fallen to ruin. The tone is quiet and melancholic. The world tells its story through the environment, NPCs you meet along the way, and lore tablets scattered underground.

Its a metroidvania with a heavy focus on exploration. You explore an absolutely massive interconnected map, unlocking new movement abilities that let you reach previously inaccessible areas.

Combat is tight and responsive, built around your nail (weapon) and a spell system that uses soul you collect from hitting enemies.

There are boss fights everywhere and they range from "that was fun" to "uninstalling" You also collect charms that let you customize your playstyle.

I started this game multiple times before but i thought it was just boring. But i decided to give it one more shot and commit to it and finally it clicked, The world is insanely large. Even tho i enjoyed exploring, it was kind of tedious to go from one place to another, just to find out you cant go there yet. However, the game was overall enjoyable.
