Doing much better after rebinding the controls.

Yi is talking the way that gets your friends to make a concerned group chat without you about you

As someone whose replayed hollow knight about 3 times I am LOVING this game, its fluid and Yi moves like such a badass I love it. I did put it on story mode because Im not a talented gamer but its still pretty tough sometimes- especially the really cool boss fights (my fav is Lady Ethereal, gave me war flashbacks …

I did put it on story mode because Im not a talented gamer but its still pretty tough sometimes- especially the really cool boss fights (my fav is Lady Ethereal, gave me war flashbacks to mantis lords) Anyway im getting through it pretty quickly (currently 20 hours) but im sure its slower in normal mode

Does this happens to you? You finish completely with a game you absolutely love. No more achievements to get and no new unlocks. You can play it again but you know just know the game so much that its not the same. If you're like me, then you take everything you learn and start writing guides and even a 3000 …
Does this happens to you? You finish completely with a game you absolutely love. No more achievements to get and no new unlocks. You can play it again but you know just know the game so much that its not the same. If you're like me, then you take everything you learn and start writing guides and even a 3000 words analysis of the plot, lore, influences and themes of the game.
Because I just did that for Nine Sols.
In case you're interested, here's that analysis in spanish (browser translators are your friends)
Ok... now what.

Not sure I'm going to finish Nine Sols... The more I played the less I enjoyed it, and the last few bosses felt like an annoying chore.
I'm right before the final boss, and I seriously don't feel like going on. I read online it took some people 4-5 hours to beat the final boss and I really don't want …

My platinum run just reached Lady Ethereal.
I've beaten her before. I can do this.
I know I can.

Too mysterious for mystery’s sake.
The combat is just a bit too off putting for me. The basic parry, strike combo feels unnecessarily cumbersome with the minimal parry animation that makes it hard to see the window of effect, combined with the use of a different button to activate your qi counter attack.
I didn’t bother switching to story mode …

I didn’t bother switching to story mode since I just want digging it.

Eigong 2nd stage is pretty much mastered (well, "mastered" might be too strong, but I can reliably finish it with some healing to spare). Now onto 3rd stage, with it's massive and almost unreadable attack that can almost one-hit kill you.

Eigong 2nd stage is pretty much mastered (well, "mastered" might be too strong, but I can reliably finish it with some healing to spare). Now onto 3rd stage, with it's massive and almost unreadable attack that can almost one-hit kill you.
Again I'm asking developers to let us skip boss stages. First stage at this point is just a formality, and second stage is starting to get stale. So now I need to go through around 4 minutes of relatively unexciting and not super challenging gameplay in order to get a few seconds of the actually interesting gameplay.
Or maybe some sort of "training" mode in which we can fight the third stage directly but any victory is not "canon"?

Thanks to steam's auto record thing I for to review how perfect was my first phase and that I died on my second phase but was saved but the charm that gives you extra life.

Well, that's the final boss down into the ground. What a game. It has its low moments around the mid point or so, but it ends with some intense but rewarding flights.
