If you want to experience this great game but you don't have the time of patience to backtrack, grind and replay the same parts over and over again for dozens of hours, do what I did. Play it with mods. Made the game so much more enjoyable and actually playable for me.

too hard and too gloomy, honestly it wasn't my personal cup of tea ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Got to this place. It took me like 2 hours. Then I died.

Ah, yes, back to the Watcher Knights, another infuriating fight where one of the enemies is a desing decision that makes the game totally inaccessible. I was playing while listening to a podcast and that fight is almost impossible with little sound clues since the enemies can easily start their attack out of frame.

Second flight with my friend the knight as a companion.
I thought that this second playthrough would've been much smoother since I would know where to go and stuff. No such luck. Turns out I don't remember shit, so I've been stumbling around almost like it's my first time.

There's nothing more satisfying than rescuing those cute little grubs.

Ah, yes, I had forgotten this room but the memories came back as soon as I got onto it. The worst room into the whole game. Swarms of enemies with little contrast with the background, that appear from thin air, damaging you instantly, and 5 foreground elements that are large enough to completely or significantly obscure the character and enemies. …

Pictured: not being able to see where I am.
On top of that, the fucking shade is placed inside the challenge room, in the middle of all that mess.
And it's not even fun. Just an endless barrage of common enemies.

I've just spent a flight playing Hollow Knight. The mantis fight is so fun.
I expected this second playthrough to be smoother than the first and end up with a more positive appreciation for some of the systems and design decisions that bugged me the first time around. But nope. The shade system is still dumb and the length bossruns …

juego de mierda, me dejó temblando en el Sendero del Dolor, me costó 6 horas pasarlo, lloré de la felicidad cuando me di cuenta que se había terminado. Dejando de lado ese trauma, juegaso. Me costó mucho adaptarme y aprender a jugar, fue el primer (y probablemente último) metroidvania que jugué y que puedo decir orgullosamente que pasé al 100%. …
juego de mierda, me dejó temblando en el Sendero del Dolor, me costó 6 horas pasarlo, lloré de la felicidad cuando me di cuenta que se había terminado. Dejando de lado ese trauma, juegaso. Me costó mucho adaptarme y aprender a jugar, fue el primer (y probablemente último) metroidvania que jugué y que puedo decir orgullosamente que pasé al 100%. Al principio lo empecé a jugar y como ví que no llegaba a ningún lado lo dejé, meses después lo instalé de nuevo y ahí fue cuando se me pegó. No puedo explicar la cantidad de veces que tuve ganas de romper todo por no poder pasar ciertos bosses y mini bosses (el hollow knight fue el más fácil). Estuve meses jugándolo y se convirtió en uno de mis juegos favoritos, pero es uno de esos juegos que no me dan ganas de rejugarlo ni aunque me apuntaran con un arma, pagaría por no volver a jugarlo.
★★★★★ 5/5

The gaming club I'm in is going to play Hollow Knight for the November meetup and for some reason I decided to search if it was possible to play it on Android. Surprisingly, it is! A guy decompiled the game and compiled it back to a native Android app.

I installed it and tried it out just to see if it works, and boy, does this game play so good? The movement, the impacts of each hit, the big explosion when taking damage, how the environment responds to the player. I had forgotten how good of a gamefeel this game had.

I've learned that there is a fan-made Android port of the game.

The thing actually works!
Someone else also made a Vita port. Not sure how well it works, though.

Seems like I'm maybe wrapping up now. A couple of the sidequests I've found felt like busywork (collecting essence, fighting the same circus guys half a dozen times), but most of them I've really been enjoying!

After hearing about the Path of Pain in hushed whispers for so long, it was neat to finally see it myself and find a way through its buzzsaw hellscape. Loved how both that level and the Colosseum fights pushed pogo jumping more into the foreground, and the flower pilgrimage quest was deliciously tense.

Fought a boss that took like 70+ hits to go down, felt a bit excessive even for an optional fight.
