I just don't see how Hollow Knight can be considered "hard" overall. I'm horrible at video games and I can play Hollow Knight. If Hollow Knight is hard, what is something like Dead Cells? A game with much faster paced combat that I can barely keep up with. Or Hades, as an example, where I can barely process melee combat at all. Nevermind Dark Souls which I can't get past the tutorial in.

Is it harder than the average metroidvania? Sure, though even then, from what I recall, stuff like Fusion's Nightmare or Prime 2's Boost Guardian set the bar decently high. I do agree it forces you to get better and better as the game goes on, and I don't think the game is easy, but I think in the grand scale of gaming, there's no way it's on the harder side. I mean, there's no parry. Parry games are my #1 enemy because I barely have the reaction speed to just *dash* out of the way, much less parry at a specific pixel! Hollow Knight doesn't require that, thank god.
