So many little touches I just do not enjoy, that make this game feel kind of like an anti-Celeste. I quit at the point where you seemingly need to get above an erratic flying enemy in a cramped vertical room and hit them with a downwards slash to bounce up to a ledge you otherwise can't reach... all while harassed by two other erratic flying enemies. Oh, and if you miss the downward slash you fall down to the room below and have to circle back. Just too tedious. It feels too cramped for Hollow Knight's mechanics. They really should've scaled this game like CRATER, with the player character half as wide and tall.
My progress: got the double-jump charm and the +1 HP charm
