I finally got this game through a steam key trade on barter, traded for a game I didn't need from a Fanatical bundle. It's now sitting in my library until I have the time to focus on it, as one of my best friends recommended it to me as one of his favorite games ever. So I want to give it the time and focus it deserves, hopefully it will click for me too!

my rec: try to power through until you get the Mothwing Cloak and Mantis Claw, which you get within the first 5 hours or so. If you don't like the game by then, it isn't going to click, but I think a lot of people give up on Hollow Knight too early.

I would also add that you can down slash at the beginning. It is very useful and I didn't start using it till I saw someone online playing way better than me.

Pogo off enemies or spikes. It's great. There's a grub worm that I waited till the very end to get because I didn't know I could pogo on the spikes.

All the bosses are pattern recognition, so if you end up bashing your head into a wall then maybe try to take a break and learn some dishes for the attacks.
