      personal taste aside, Hollow Knight did everything that a metroidvania should do design-wise, and added enough new things to the formula that basically every single game in the genre that has come out since 2017 has taken some inspiration from it.

      People are psyched to play more in that universe, with the characters they grew to like, while also being excited to see what new innovations they bring this time.

      It’s fascinating that you’re surprised to see people are hyped up about a sequel to a critically acclaimed game.

      It would be weird if they weren’t, right?
