Everything I can find on steam is all castlevania with no metroid, or it's just hollow knight but again. I want something fast, with a strong central gimmick and a bit of exploration. is there anything like that out there that someone can recommend?
edit: here's a more detailed summary of what I'm looking for
-Movement. Nothing too crazy, I just like when a game requires me to think fast. Incorporating this into puzzles is a super bonus.
-Any sort of fun gimmick will do, doesn't have to be time related. Many games end up feeling generic because there's nothing gluing all of your different weapon types together.
-NOT THE CASTLEVANIA ART STYLE. Hate the full-length body with no face details look.
-Story isn't a major priority. I can appreciate a good story, but it's not what I'm playing for. (if I see one more game that just blatantly rips off hollow knight's story I'm gonna blow a gasket)
