Wot I liked - The setting - Dark Souls meets Bleach meets an ant farm - The controls. I always play my games with kb+m (whenever I can and even if I suffer). Hollow Knight responsiveness is a blessing for jumping/dashing/wall clinging sections. - Nice voiceactors/sfx. - Huge world to explore. Wot I disliked - The awful boredom of the fighting system reminds a brick in its simplicity. I'm ~5 hrs into the game and I can do 3 things - slash and use my soulball. That's a real strong detriment for a game, where all you do is fight! - The awful boredom of backtracking. There're a LOT of sections in that game you can reach only when you have some corresponding ability. But you cannot mark those areas and they are nu-me-rous! So, to get around you either use wiki, jot it down somewhere or you your phenomenal memory. So, for me Hollow Knight should've been a nice meeting that turned out to be an insipid drab date. Sad.
