I recently started up a new game of Hollow Knight. I’ve got hundreds of hours in this game so I don’t expect to be surprised, and yet! it is still a genuine surprise at how good the movement feels, and knowing (mostly) the story, seeing the breadcrumbs laid down at various points has a really different tone and meaning. Truly I think it is the best of its genre. 

I have heard some complaints, some save points are too far away from bosses, but I can only think of one where it’s more than a couple rooms away, which imo serves as a good refresher for your motions and actions, as well as a way to slurp up some more juice for later actions. The complaints I do think are valid are related to needing to use charms to auto pick up money.. that should just be in the game, I agree.
