This game is fuckin HARD. I'm about 10 hrs in and spent the last hour or so getting my ass kicked by an ambush room full of basic enemies

Loving it. Hornet plays so much more fluid and agile than the knight, the boss fights have been consistently fantastic, the soundtrack is great. It successfully sets itself apart from Hollow Knight with the way Hornet plays in such a good way, leaving both games with their own place. About 10 hours in, just beat my favorite boss so far, and the world is opened up even further now.

Too early to say, but if the quality persists at least at this level, then I think I'll like it more than Hollow Knight simply from how much I love Hornet's moveset and how it feels to travel around the world. Honestly feels like someone took Hollow Knight, a game I already adore, and made a character more tuned to how I enjoy playing platformers, and enemies with more dynamic and interesting kits. Love the soundtrack, too!
