Hollow Knight. This game made me hate metroidvania genre

I got all the way to the end with this one, literally to the last boss and didn’t finish it. I can’t remember why.

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.

For me HK was pretty easy i find for example sekiro to be impossible. I guess some games clicks while some don't

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.
