Movement in that game is mostly terrible with only pogoing being any fun and its not used enough. Combat doesn't have enough options in it, and while most of the bosses patterns are pretty fun once you get to the end of the base game and get into the DLC bosses it becomes so hard it isn't fun. Also the story sucked massively.

This is all very wrong but it does illustrate a "problem" with Hollow Knight in that this stuff isn't apparent until you spend way too much time with the game and sink into the depth it offers with randomizers and speedruns and such. Movement in particular feels like it sucks at first but the more time you spend with it past the first playthrough the more solid you realize it is. Obviously it can't hold a candle to Ori's movement, which is nearly perfect, but HK is nicer to control than most actual Metroids and Castlevanias, tbh.

Ori 2 and Hollow Knight are my actual top 2 metroidvanias but for very different reasons. So the division ITT is very funny to me.
