Can't stress enough how good Hollow Knight is if you never played it. If you are a fan of Metroidvanias, you will most likely enjoy it.
Difficult but fair boss fights, lots of map exploration with many secrets, many endings, bonus challenging content for those who want that extra push to get better and have more fun with the combat.. Cool lore and story... It has everything a good Metroidvania should have in my opinion.

Dead Cells really isn't a metriodvania in the usual sense. Specifically:
* The game consists of separate levels, called "biomes". While each individual biome may be somewhat nonlinear (and yo get an automap), once you leave a biome, there's on way back (other than starting over). In a way, this feels a bit like Vampire Killer (the MSX game that has a lot of similarities to the original Castlevania, but is different enough to be its own game).
* There are, however, multiple paths through the game. Some aren't possible until you get certain things that carry over into future runs. (Feels a bit like Castlevania 3 here.)
* The roguelike aspects are more prominent than in many other roguelites. Item placement is randomized (though there's a custom mode you can unlock which allows you to limit which items appear, so you can remove items you don't like from the pool), and there's a permadeath mechanic (can be disabled through assist mode), along with some meta-progression.
* One successful run typically takes an hour (which, IMO, is twice what my preferred length would be for this type of game, but significantly shorter than a "proper" metroidvania).

Wanted to ask if there was some gameplay reason why Salt and Sanctuary was not on the list, only to discover that this amazing metroidvania mixed with some soulike elements that i completed 3 times since it was free on epic a few years ago ... is not available on gog ?
I could have sworn it was on gog, odd how memory can work sometime :D

You can vote on its Wishlist though, together with its "sequel" and some other two I also recommend on this thread:
https://www.gog.com/forum/general/wishlist_votes_request_wishlisting_4_metroidvanias_soulvanias_please_read
Hopefully in a few years when it will reach the "old" part of good old game, gog will finally bring this one in, i remember how it surprised me on how good it was as i expected mostly nothing out of it at fist
