Playing some more Hollow Knight and I really like this game. It does a few things I actually like way more the the Souls series.

One big thing is how it handles health. I like that its in PIPS instead of a ambiguous bar. Having it be pips means I know EXACTLY how many mistakes I can make at any given time.

Even if some enemies do more then one I then immediately know "Ok, don't get hit by that attack in particular. Got it."

It gives me a sense of confidence to know that.

I know that something isnt gonna jump out and fuck my shit up. The game lets me make a few mistakes. It lets me learn without curbstomping me.

This is good for bosses too because i means I can actually PROCESS a bosses pattern instead of getting two shot and not really learning anything from it.
