It's a good game.

This game alongside Symphony of the night invented the metroidvania genre and I understand why; massive world, unlockable upgrades for progression, boss fights, and so many secrets. For the most part however I was annoyed with the controls and handling.

Clunky ahh game. The controls at time were so annoying to fight (especially in parts of Maridia), where I would just give up and come back to the game later.

Considering Hollow Knight is one of my favorite games ever I'm glad I played this, but man is this dated.
