Honestly, Shinobi into this into Ghost might be the best gaming sequencing in recent memory

This game is really restoring the feeling. Got me walking around the house speaking in bug, my kids looking at me like .

I just finished the arena gauntlet in Hunter’s March. I can’t wait to read all the meltdowns this game will cause over the next year. I foresee a lot of people rage quitting this.

Yea that changes everything. Tough enemies become so much easier. Dancing around them bytches like Bud Crawford. Newcomers definitely gotta understand the whole game changes once you have all the upgrades. That's when hollow knight really became legendary. You start the game in a weakened state and have to get your power back. Then the combat becomes fluid as hell.

The triple pin toss alone is legendary. Flying enemies are so much easier to deal with

I keep losing my rosaries

I've made decent progress tho, I made it up to the next layer or whatever you call it

Still need to go back to the docks when I get 500 rosaries so I can use the key

It's an amazing game from every aspect but they overtuned the difficulty by about 25%. If you didn't take double damage from everything while also making every single enemy a sponge it would be 10/10. I'm at this part where you fighting hordes of flying enemies that are throwing shyt at you, blocking your attacks, stealing your silk, and just when you think you beat it, they make you do it again but harder shyt takes like 5 minutes an attempt and you can't slack for a second. And this fight is mandatory. I wanna see casuals try this shyt

It's an excellent game but these are facts. This tiny jumping mouse enemy should NOT take 4 hits to kill.

I played the first Hollow Knight late after release, did they tweak with the difficulty in the beginning? I've only made it to the first little town so I might have only played an hour if that.

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Hollow knight is way easier in the beginning and you get more upgrades faster

Im halfway through the game and i feel like I’ve barely got any real useful charms

Wait until you come across the big mice

Wait until you come across the big mice

I have

But I get it, they're bigger than you. Still a bit spongey, but I get it.

The tiny ones? 1 or 2 hits should get them outta here.

It's not that serious bruh. It's challenging, but I wouldn't go as far as to say it's unfair. Just punishing. I'd probably say the most "difficult" thing about the game is the whole two currency thing.

A random thought occurred to me that maybe, just maybe, they made your attacks initially weaker and enemies more spongey due to Hornet being a female.

oh I'm not worried about the game being too hard, I've played enough soulslike to be numb to the fakkitry devs be on nowadays


just been busy, I never finished Stellar Yams so been playing that
