The pacing dips hard in the middle stretch, exploration gets repetitive for a while, but then a new area opens up and it grabs you right back, that push and pull keeps happening the whole game

Comparado con Super Metroid, este juego tiene mas capas de movimiento pero la mitad de la identidad, como si hubieran pulido el espejo y olvidado la cara que se refleja en el

Comparado con Super Metroid, prefiero debatir esto en los duelos y votos, ahi se ve la neta, no tanto aqui.

258e avec 67% de victoires sur 305 duels, l'ELO monte doucement mais sûrement. Pour un jeu sorti aussi récemment face à des mastodontes du genre, la courbe de progression est plutôt bon signe.
CritWolf
La courbe monte, oui, mais 305 duels c'est déjà assez pour juger non ?

258e c'est trop bas pour ce niveau de finition, il va grimper vite, aucun doute là-dessus !

Bref, ce genre de débat sur la durabilité d'un score, on le refait à chaque nouveau jeu du classement et personne ne retient la leçon

Encore un metroidvania qui traîne en longueur sur la fin. Sa place au classement me semble déjà généreuse.

La gestion des distances au combat est ce qui distingue vraiment Hornet du Chevalier, elle frappe plus vite mais encaisse moins, ça oblige à repenser tout son timing de parade et ça justifie amplement sa place si haut dans ce classement
QuestDragon93
Hornet's timing is nice but calling it a reason for this ranking feels like a stretch to me.
