With a game as anticipated as this, it's easy to drop the ball and make something that does not live up to expectations, but this game isn't an example of that. So far, I have been enjoying it a lot; even more than the original hollow knight. My only minor nitpick is that in 8 hours of gameplay, I feel like I've faced too many bosses that summon extras in their fight. And if that's the only complaint that I can formulate, then it means its a pretty damn good game.
