I do get the criticism over stupidly long paths to bosses and fetch quests. Also, maps still suck, which kinda sucks when you're trying to find secrets but not that much.

I personally LIKE the spongy bosses and enemies. A lot of enemies feel like a boss and that's the fun to me.
Hollow Knight I kinda struggled to finish (got a bit bored), this one I am persevering despite the difficulty.
It also had my favourite 2D bossfight thus far for me, but the parry reward is so OP now that I refuse to use it. kek

I'll bet people will complain about the rosary shit, but it clicks when you have to pay 15 rosaries for a rest seat in one area - clearly it's commentary about conditions in our society. Probably inspired by the homeless chairs.
Then you look at what the place is doing to the pilgrims.
It's kino as fuck. HK didn't go this far with it's themes.
