I've played for a few hours so far and GOG asked me to write a review. There are many common elements with Hollow Knight, but the game is fresh -- there is enough new and different in how Hornet moves and fights that gives it a subtly different feel to the original game. The world is a joy to travel across. I'm not sure about this game's replacement for charms; I will have to play more to see how I feel about how those are managed.
