Hasan watched his older videos, but this guy started making hate videos about him too and his audience would come in Hasans chat to badger him, this started like 3-4 months ago

He always said he was insane but had some well researched videos.

I think it is yeah. Silk storm for example is very strong and tools are a completely new addition that increase the damage you can do without silk.

Enemies have predictable attacks that move across the ground intentionally so you can jump and heal if needed, but it's still up to your performance.

Hornets lethality is higher than the Knights too, which is intentional. It doesn't want you to rely on defense, it's encouraging damage especially with tools and how strong they are.

Faster heals totally are, especially since you can heal in the air now. If you memorize the patterns, you can do way cheekier heals in the middle of a boss with less risk.

I thought that claim was absurd, yeah. Kind of shocked to see people parrot it.

These are now two seperate genres. Metroidvania and souls likes have direct lineage.

It's not a perfect game, but I feel like it's design intention is kind of being misinterpreted and considered flaws without fully engaging with why the game is designed the way it is.

So why is enemies doing more damage to you seen as a negative at all? Is it really only in relation to Hollow Knight?

I'm also in the camp of those who don't find this much harder than HK at all. It's the kind of game that demands patience and learning, and Im in no rush to expedite that process.

I find it hard to agree, even if this is a well written review.

I feel like people aren't really meeting this game on its own terms. For example, yes, bosses do more damage to you now, but Hornets heal is also much more forgiving than the Knights.

After a short animation you return 3 notches.
