One of the best games I've ever played

The game takes what's the best in Hollow Knight and improves upon it. Environments, storytelling, enemies, bosses, combat, playstyle customization, exploration - all polished to perfection. The difficulty is spot on for anyone who enjoys a good challenge, and, though punishing at times, the game never leaves you with an impression that it's unfair. 10/10 - best action game I've ever played and, possibly, the best game I've experienced overall.

The SilkSkills n Tools suck

add a function to switch silk skills mid combat. You make so many skills but I cant use half of them. Feels lame compared to the first game where every upgrade mattered. Desolate Dive and Descending Dark, The up screech etc. It truly felt more like a metroidvania to work for and find these constant improvements and upgrades, and they complimented each other, combining into your player character. Instead here it feels wasted and you cannot use whatever move fits the situation best. A button to cycle silkskills should be the bare minimum. As for tools, the cost to make them should either be reduced heavily, to incentivise their use. And/Or they should be more powerful and cost some silk to use, without being limited to a certain amount you can carry from making them on the bench. That aside, I also do not agree with the recent patch and nerfs to some bosses, that completely removes their challenge, while not fixing the things I mentioned above that actually affect the gameplay negatively and make things boring. The need to farm shards for your abilities needs to be reworked/removed honestly. Also am disappointed that there is no boss rush mode already included after 7 years of development. I really hope there will be and update.

Curb your difficulty

What would otherwise be a great game is ruined by an intense difficulty curve.

Game of the Year

I've died to Lace 10 times and counting and I love it. Seven years worth the wait

More of the same.

Played for 4 hours so far, if you liked Hollow Knight, you will like this. Personally, playing this makes me irrationally happy. On the other hand, if Hollow Knight wasn't for you, then neither is this.
