This game depends way too much on random enemies. You can either kill them all without accomplishing anything, or run past them. No thought or finesse was put into the gameplay at all. The boss fights seem fun at first, but become monotonous far too quickly. Two stars are given for the style and soundtracks. They are really good. Still, I wouldn't recommend the game to anyone. Not even people who like Souls-like games.
I love the game, the style, the sound, the feeling and the gameplay, But the controls are a huge pain in the ass. Downward slash detection is horrible. The controls have a weird kind of memory and the wall movement (when hanging on walls) is not good at all. Still would recommend to buy Hollow Knight.
