I've played Hollow Knight to *an* end, and was dismayed to find that after all that effort I had only barely begun my travels. I'm glad that other people are getting so much bang for their buck, but I have neither the time nor inclination to chase after 10 different endings with 5 secret requirements and a plot that requires MatPat skills to understand. VSR offers neither of those things. It's a self contained experience with tight controls, neat mechanics, a clear plotline, and when you get to the end you're done with the game unless you want to go 100%, which by my estimation would only be a few more hours.

Also, the time travel mechanic is super fun to use.

All in all, best Metroidvania I've played in a while. 10/10
