It's a good game.

A good game for sure, but the perfect game is Mercenary Kings.

The perfect game never happens. But it does everything it tries to do absolutely beautifully.

I think if it were a little less punishingly difficult it would be. That's really my only complaint

That was a dealbreaker for me. Gave up on it for good before getting to the first boss. I didn't like having to start from the beginning every time I died.

Excessive backtracking prevents it from being perfect

Rabi Ribi and Ender Lilies improve on that part of Metroidvanias and every other one should follow their example.

It's an amazing game, and quite possibly the best game under $20 ever. My favorite Metroidvania will always be SOTN however, I've only played through Hollow Knight once, while I've played SOTN like 5x over.

Silk Song though...I've never really anticipated an indie game as much as I have this one.

I like plenty of 2d games and plenty are more worthy of the mantle perfect game than hollow knight.

Currently playing Hollow Knight for the first time. Im 25 hours in and I was doing so much shit out of order by mistake. Which made a lot of bosses piss easy.

When you dont have a map for an area and have terrible memory it does get hard to remember.

Its a very good game thats overrated to high hell. Stupid fans of it are so annoying i almost didnt play it. But yes, very good. Far from perfect.

I still think the main looks like shit. He looks like a placeholder or an alpha/beta build. He looks unfinished.

Because its one of the best metroidvanias?

and the creators are awesome people, even letting fans sell limited quantities of their own HK art merch

The main looks like he was animated on newgrounds. Hes probably one of the worst looking mains ever or at least in an actual good game.

Ill never get over how stupid he looks.

Hollow Knight does zero things wrong, and the only reason I can't call it a perfect game is because I don't quite "feel" like it is. Which is BS, it's obviously perfect.

There are checkpoints though.

And later on, you do get an ability that lets you set a waypoint and then teleport back to it. So it's easy to jump back into bosses.

Nah, the point of the game is that you can do things in whatever order you want.

Yeah so perfect that it dethroned other Metroidvanias as my fave of all time.

What no the game wasnt even that dificult, if it was any easier it would have been boring, in fact maybe I shouldnt have upgraded the nail all the way.

No. It doesn't respect your time. There are usually no checkpoints right in front of boss fights causing you to waste a few minutes trekking back each time you die.
