hollow knight

Last month I completed Hollow Knight. I "100%ed" the base game (excluding DLCs), and it was really fun. I played through as much as I could without looking anything up, which mostly worked, but there were a few things that I had to look up, like where to use the King's Brand, and how to wake up the White Knight guy (I completely missed the Dream Bosses). Most of it was incredibly fun and just the right amount of challenging - but I thought some bits were pretty dumb (like having to fight the Hollow Knight every time before the Radiance) or easy to cheese (the Breakable charms not breaking in the Dream boss fights). I'm not sure how I feel about the story either. It seems a bit like they were making it up as they went along, and used the "mystery" and lack of information to cover up the bits even they didn't understand. Or maybe I'm wrong!

Overall though, I can understand the hype now. One of the games I've enjoyed the most during lockdown.
