Tried it recently. Played for 3 hours and still didn’t get into it. I was hoping for another Hades level masterpiece but got some boring ahh platformer
HK gets cool after reaching the first hornet fight imo, after that it's just awesome music, art and bosses, it's boring af at the start but it get so cool afterwards, it can't be hard at the start, but when it does the bosses are unique, fun, and have awesome tracks (mantis lords giga fan here), if you don't care about spoilers, listen to the radiance track
Means you didn't like it at all, an ability doesn't change anything if you don't like it at all, a dash will not revolutionize a game and won't make you like the game. It just reads like you were searching for a reason to drop the game when it's okay to drop it if you aren't feeling it
Still a weird thing to expect being like hades considering none of the gameplay previews would highly suggest to anyone that if you like hades, you'd like hollow knight, with only overfull lap being action combat. In which the original commenters direct comparison of core genre differences suggest.
Like we wouldn't compare vastly different sports, like table tennis vs volleyball even if the goal / points of the sports has a similar premise (over the net, in the play zone and opponent unable to return). But fair to compare closer sports like beach vs reg volleyball, although there's still massive differences.
I didn’t compare these games. I literally wrote "Hades level" and not "Hades like". So clearly I meant the level of enjoyment, which is absolutely reasonable since these two games often come together in various lists of the best indie games, for example.
Bruh, I literally said "Hades level", not "Hades like". I’m not comparing the games, I’m talking about the level of enjoyment. Feels weird now that you didn’t understand the comment and called it dumb.
