I enjoyed Hollow Knight more when I cheated
I have a confession. I’m using an invincibility mod to play through the brutal, boss-infested Metroidvania game Hollow Knight. I first played it back in February 2017, when it came out, completely mesmerised by its dark atmosphere and magical soundtrack. The first hour or two completely captivated me, wandering around the eerie catacombs of a strange, forgotten world. But I hit a wall pretty early on when I reached Hornet - one of the first major boss battles of the game.
Hornet zips around the battlefield. She can hurl her piercing needle at you and have it bounce back with a ghostly white thread. My reactions were not able to match her speedy attacks and I couldn’t accurately land a hit as she ran circles around me. After an hour, I finally defeated her, and then decided I needed a break. I left the world of Hollow Knight for a year, not really wanting to face the many boss battles that were yet to come.
I felt pretty low knowing that there was more of that beautiful subterranean world that I wouldn’t get to experience due to a lack of skill. I've never been that patient when it comes to learning combat patterns and sharpening my reflexes.
