I'd highly recommend playing the game, or at the very least, seeing if you can look at a friend who's playing it or something; the game legitimately looks much better running on a 3DS than the upscaled screenshots online can communicate. You can't really get a real feel for what it looks like just by looking at screens. I can't speak for the comparison to Hollow Knight, as I haven't gotten a chance to play it yet, but I would say without hesitation that Samus Returns looks better than Zero Mission. It's that significant of a difference from screenshot to actual game running.
On top of that, the gameplay is so on point (I'd argue the best Metroidvania title in at least a decade) that it would be worth playing even if it was just straight up stick figure art or something.

I'm not saying the gameplay is bad, that part looks good, but for me, art-style is everything in a Metroidvania game. It sets the tone. That's why I love Steamworld Dig 2 and why I'm very eager to get into Hollow Knight.

That seems more than a little bit shallow to me, but regardless, I'd still recommend looking at Samus Returns in action on a 3DS (see if a friend has it or something) before judging it. Screenshots really don't do it justice; it's much more visually impressive in game.
