Found a station now, lost my ghost with 1k+ whatever currency this uses before I did though.

I fell into that area last night when trying to find my way to

I felt underprepared and legged it. Finally got to the above place though so feel like I’m back on track.

Played another hour or so last night.  Two bosses done now, four stations found.  It really is exceptionally good so far.

This looks fucking amazing on the tv.

Well, the is bastard hard.

Having a great time playing this on the Switch at lunchtime.

Have struggled a bit figuring out where to go next (mostly from missing exits on the map) but I've enjoyed revisiting older areas and finding hidden or previously out of reach goodies.  Helps that Hollow Knight is a real joy to control too.

Run into a boss who is out of my league just recently.  Spend a full hour getting spanked by him today.  It's Cuphead all over again!  I've been resolute up until now about not looking up guides and figuring it out for myself, but caved in today.  It seems like with a better charm configuration (and a cooler head) he shouldn't be TOO tricky.  Haven't really looked into the charms much, but guess you don't need the navigational stuff plugged in for a boss fight.

To those who have finished the game;

I'm nearing the end. Fully pimped out, just two more bosses, I reckon.

It is a truly special game, the visual, sound and map design are all exceptional.
Bosses have been good so far, only frustration is I get lost regularly but I am starting to get the pointers

Favourite music everyone?
Green path is great but I really like the map guys humming.

Haha

I am starting to think this is my favourite game of the generation

Played a bit more again last night.  I've stopped trying to Do Stuff and just concentrated on exploring.  Found a bunch of places I'd missed, namely...
The former was a nice break after the onslaught elsewhere, and I found a handy new skill too.

Wish team cherry did a simplified control scheme without having to press down as that would alleviate much of the problem. Shame they haven't addressed this with the Switch version as Hollow Knight would be much, much more accessible with the pogo assigned to just a button press. As is you really do need a controller with a decent d-pad to get the most out of it otherwise the game will only frustrate.

Quoted for truth. It also doesn't help that the nail pogo bit I'm stuck on is miles away from the bench.

I was messy with it, but got better, it was fine.

Pc/bone controller.

I also didn't feel the need to be completist though, so may have been bits I didn't do that were well ugly.

Love the avatar Wario, saw her supporting Hayes Carll ages ago.  That album's not what I was expecting but probably her best.
