Forum Overview :: Hollow Knight

Silksong's Baffling Designs by Rafiki 09/15/2025, 2:43pm PDT I may or may not have left out part of the title as clickbait. I was going to post about, well, basically all of this last night, but now I don't need to. Everything in this video is dead-accurate and covers all of my complaints about the game. The only thing I disagree with is that the 2 hp loss per hit is the worst part of the game. Almost everything from very, very early on causes 2HP damage. I've legit died more from traversing the world than I have from boss fights, and it's like why even bother making anything do 2 damage? Just make everything do 1 and cut health in half from the start. I overall like the game, but the double damage from everything just feels wildly unbalanced most times. If I had to make one other complaint, it's that every time you discover a new crest it automatically switches you to it which unequips all of your tools, and you can't reequip tools unless you're sitting at a bench. So, you discover a new crest and are immediately penalized for it.
