Hollow Knight

2017 Metroidvania video game.
==First play (2018)==
Released on the Nintendo Switch in 2018 and highly praised, I figured I'd give it a go. I don't really like Metroidvania games by default, but I loved Ori and the Blind Forest and the experience of a character starting pathetic and getting cool powers over time is definitely a fun one. 
However.
This game just really annoyed me. Constantly. Dying and having to go back to the last bench I found was a constant drag. The painfully slow and unsatisfying movement across the world compared very unfavourably with Ori. In fact, none of the gameplay, movement, action, art, setting, or music, was satisfying enough. So after 30 hours and without finishing it, I finally gave it up. I'm boggled at the amount of praise it gets.
