One minor rule that Hollow Knight seems to be bending is the boss fight. You should have to hit a boss three times. Maybe the vulnerability point is hidden behind an unbreakable shield for 20 seconds and so you have to dodge for a bit... but then the shield gets lowered, you hit the point, the boss yells. If you don't want to do it like that, GIVE A HEALTH BAR.
I find myself asking "HOW MANY HIT POINTS DOES THIS GUY HAVE?!?" every time I fight one of the bosses and he keeps not freakin' dying.
The "Can a MV be 3D?" debate has resulted in many broken hearts and broken bones, but I think that it absolutely can be.
That was one of the big eye-openers for me in the first few hours of Arkham Asylum. The fact that they translated it to 3D is one of the (many) reasons I love the game.
Hollow Knight does not hold your hand. I'm not calling it a "soulslike" or anything like that because, so far, I haven't needed twitch skills as much as mere hand-eye coordination and puzzle-solving abilities.
But it dumps you into the world and tells you "go nuts" without explaining what nuts are.
I'm having a blast and have only had to google "what in the heck do I do now?!?" once (the answer involved using a down attack on the purple mushrooms).

I discovered the secret of the bank.
Hollow Knight is much better than I thought it was. I should have played this years ago.
I have cheated a couple of times. I was stuck at having 3-of-4 mask pieces and looked up the ones I missed and, apparently, I missed a boatload.
So I'm going back and getting them and hoping that maybe I'll find something that will let me upgrade my nail because, seriously.
