I have been charmed since the game began. I love that the game mechanics are not exactly what we experienced in Hollow Knight because this is Hornet's story. The diagonal dash is fantastic - take the time to learn it and use it to your advantage. Enemies and bosses range in challenge and are very satisfying to defeat. I love the side quests, lore, characters, hidden rooms, and economy. Artwork and music are exceptional.
I have played this game repeatedly for years, and it never gets old. I love the exploration, mechanics, characters, music, visuals, quests, bosses, fights, and the lore - definitely the lore. The story is rich and complex, and I want to know more. I cannot recommend this game enough!
