    I’m obviously not her, but I can rec my recent art obsessions, Blasphemous 1 & 2. They’re beautiful games - like interactive Goya paintings with mechanics and style much closer to the “traditional” metroidvania. The second is a tighter game over all and it’s not necessary to have played the original.

    (Funny that despite Blasphemous 2’s penitent self punishment theme and grim vibe, I’ve found Hollow Knight: Silksong to be much harder game, sometimes to a frustrating degree)

        I can’t personally say if the second is much easier but I’ve heard it said - it certainly seems much better balanced and more fluid; less clunky/jank.

        The choice of three weapons gives you more options in combat and the big censer-flail is very easy to get used to and is a more forgiving, good beginner weapon that can serve well for most challenges.
