Just started Hollow Knight on game pass following reading here. Harder than it looks and on so frustrating at times early on, but very addictive.
No clue what I'm doing, but enjoying so far.

I have to keep taking breaks as the thought of getting back up off the bench at the start and going all the way back to the false knight to get squashed again can wear you out

This game is addictive - just spent an hour mindlessly wandering trying to catch up to the dude/lady idk what it is with a spear. Ran into some big dude with a shield and died twice lol

He was a beast dude, the first time I was obliterated, second time I kind of got the rhythm down, third time I had low health but I was aggressive as fuck lol. I haven’t had this fun of a time with a sidescroller in a long time, kinda brings me back to my childhood a bitTook me about 12 attempts to do that

It's a really great, and for me quite refreshing, game. I tend to play offline games such as fallout, Skyrim, sniper elite. Anything where you can take your time and stealth plays a decent role.
This though is so addictive, after failing a few times I think I'll turn it off but then have just one more go

(Bonus points for proper use of the word "addictive". Everyone simultaneously dropped that term in favor of "addicting" about 15 years ago and it really gets under my skin.)It's a really great, and for me quite refreshing, game.

I loved Hollow Knight, but after a certain point I had to finally just walk away from it. The bosses weren't the issue. (Though I did cheat and have a friend take out Hornet for me.) The increasingly tedious platforming challenges (e.g. "pogo shrooms") vs. insta-death - that was an issue.
Harder to get excited about Silk Song having never finished Hollow Knight.

Ah! I should really take a proper stab at Pillars of Eternity one of these days. I LOVED Divinity Original Sin (the first one, never finished the second one) and they look somewhat similar.
