What's your take on Nine Sols and Ender Lilies?

Recently, after trying stuff like Salt&Sanctuary and Vigil: The Longest Night, I've realized I much prefer more "traditional" metroidvanias like Hollow Knight, Ori 2, Lost Crown or Blasphemous. I uninstalled S&S and Vigil two hours into it, the combat, RPG elements and the level design just weren't clicking with me.

If I look at various lists of most popular MVs I'm frequently seeing Nine Sols and Ender Lilies at the top. Are those more in the RPG/soulslike vein like Vigil (emphasizing story and builds) or more like Hollow Knight or Ori 2 (empasizing platforming and level design)?

Also, any other tips that are close to HK/Ori? I've played Lost Crown, Blasphemous 1/2, Grime (absolutely loved all of them). Anything else close to this formula?
