I've been enamored of Metroidvanias as a meta-structure for decades, but ever since I had a bad time with Hollow Knight years ago, I've been reluctant to really get into them more. I'm just not into precision platforming, or brutally difficult combat, or timing challenges. What I would enjoy is something that focused on using the acquired upgrades for non-dexterity-based puzzles. Are there any like that that people consider to be good?
