Mid chinese hollow knight. I know there's a need for a narrative, but FUCK ME was there a lot of boring exposition "Luca this, Razing that" SHUT UP. At times the dialogue was completely incomprehensible and either the script was written by an AI or there was some deep meaning lost in translation. None of the characters are fun or noteworthy, I'll forget them all in about 3 hours.

The gameplay is just hollow knight, but bigger. Bold choice for the game to start you with the dash and then completely drown out natural progression since the fucking map is ginormous. Like I'm talking MASSIVE, BIG, FUCKING HUMONGOUS. And while it was fun exploring it for the first time, revisiting these areas, traversing them and backtracking through them for some ass cryptic shit side quest is infuriating.

The leveling system is asinine, I don't know why it's RPG-ized. The weapon variety is definitely the best part (low bar, I know), but the titular afterimages (little boosts you can get while resting at confluences, imagine like charms from hollow knight).

Children yearned for silksong and got a chinese knockoff, just like ye olden times.
