Hollow Knight, ᴀᴋᴀ Bug Souls
I _love_ the atmosphere of this game!
. . . but I'm seriously about to have to start grinding for cash just to clean out the shop because I don't see any other way to make progress right now. Every direction I want to go takes a mobility upgrade (as in double-jump or air dash or something) or other obvious you-need-another-item-dummy sort of thing. I mean, I love that in Metroidvanias, it's why I'm playing this, but I'm aaaalmost stuck. I'm sure I'll figure it out.
