Simon “Magini”

At first I was a bit frustrated about the difficulty. Maybe that was because I was trying to play it like hollow knight and completely ignored the tools. After a while a got used to the new mechanics and in fact, had fun. At least for a while..... Unfortunate, as the game continued, there were just so many annoying things like platforming challenges over and over again. I would say I actually like the platforming stuff (I finished the path of pain in hollow knight) but there were too many. Arena fights right before the boss is a funny idea but having to do that arena fight every time again starts to get annoying pretty quick. From my opinion, the overall difficulty was ok or maybe a little bit too hight since I noticed that I didn't really admired the world. I was too focused on surviving. The overall difficulty felt a little bit like team cherry expected everybody who wants to play the game, to beat hollow knight first. I feel really bad for anyone who starts the game without any experience. The next thing was the exploding last judge killing me. Why do I have to do the fight again? That's just a waste of time. To be honest, I don't remember why I continued but now, I am in act 3 and I have to do the flea festival. Is this meant to be fun? I don't know why you would hide the final damage upgrade behind such a minigame. I don't even think this minigame fits into the story or anything. I mean I rescued all fleas, have them ab new home am then this guy forces me to do that challenge? That doesn't make any sense. At this point I realized I was just planning to beat the game, for the sake of having it done. It wasn't really fun anymore and I wasn't planning to play it ever again. I do not mind fighting hard bosses in this game, since I expect that when starting this game. But stupid minigames that are essential is on another level. So I quit.
