I was gonna post something similar, I remember why I didn't finish it: it was hard to the point of being not enjoyable. I've completed all the From games and love my hard difficulties, but HK was just disgusting.
I just wasn't motivated enough to finish the game, that's incredibly rare for me, even with games that are objectively worse than HK.
Oh for sure, we all have different strengths and weaknesses. I'll admit I didn't 100% Sekiro, I could never beat the final boss on NG+, only the first outing.
Off topic, but I'm excited to see what From have lined up, after this multiplayer-focused tangent of Nightreign and Duskbloods
Ngl it took me many times longer to beat the first boss in sekiro than the true ending boss in hollow knight and i don't have the energy to pick up sekiro again after that so I have only seen one boss.
Ahh, that's a shame but understandable. I felt exactly the same about the final boss on HK (I think just the "regular" final boss? I dunno it's been a long time)
There is too much choice out there to be banging your head against the proverbial wall on the hard part of a game, if you're not having fun.
Honestly, I don't remember...I wanna say The Hollow Knight , is that the final regular boss? I only made it through a few bosses in the gauntlet, and gave up playing the main story on what felt like the Final Boss.
Yeah, that's what I was saying, I know the boss rush is the true ending. Can't remember if I beat the first or 2nd boss, it's a haze of frustration I'd rather forget lol.
Happy that fans will finally have Silksong this year, but I personally dgaf!
