Nine Sols did this perfectly. It's another very hard metroidvania, but it has some options you can enable if you want to that adjust the difficulty in a variety of very tangible ways. I wish that was standard.

Nine Sols is great, and I agree completely that they did a good job of adding those options. I didn't end up using them, but I bet it let a lot of people enjoy the game that could have hit a wall in Hollow Knight or people that just couldn't grasp the parrying mechanic.

I wouldn't have beaten the 'true' final boss without them. No way in hell.
