Did you not finish the game in that time?
I checked my playtime, it was actually only about 45 mins. I don't know why it didn't grab me, but it didn't. It seems to happen from time to time. Funnily enough Hollow Knight was another game that I just didn't get on with. Played for about 4 or 5 hours and realised it felt like a chore and stopped.
I suspect I just don't like Metroidvanias, I don't recall ever playing one that I loved and I read people praising them a lot.
On a less whingey note I've been playing and loving Fall Guys Ultimate Knockout and Spiritfarer the last couple of weeks. Two very different games, to put it mildly. My only regret is getting Fall Guys on steam instead of on PS4. I can barely play a game without a hacker now. There is some fun to be had in sabotaging your own team when you get a hacker on it in one of the team events at least though.
