Are you disappointed at the lack of Silksong at the 2022 Game Awards? Are you tired of putting on your clown makeup everytime Nintendo has a direct? Well then boy howdy do I got the game for you! It's Haiku the Robot!

This game is a Metroidvania that is a whole heck of a lot like Hollow Knight. It's not just a ripoff of HK though, as it definitely has it's ideas and identity. For example, your "magic meter" is replaced by a heat gauge, which fills up whenever you do certain actions. I just kind of wish there was a bit more to the game as it is pretty basic. Combat is very simple and doesn't really change much throughout the game. The abilities you unlock are for the most part pretty standard Metroidvania stuff too, though they are quite fun to use since they let fly through pretty quickly.

Overall, this game is a very enjoyable Metroidvania, that didn't really ever surprise me in any way. Wish it could've been more, but it's still pretty fun the way it is.
