@solidsanek the Hollow Knight 2 of the Hollow Knight series is definitely the Dark Horse Souls 2 of the pair. :ablobcatnod:

But yeah. I definitely play games thinking about my approach to fights as a puzzle to solve sometimes, but only if they push me to. Sekiro did that, and the DLC for Kingdom Hearts 3. HK did it with Grimm, and Godhome. Silksong is definitely harder overall than HK, but like, nothing took me as many tries as lost kin or true radiance. I think my problem then is that Silksong's bosses are just way more annoying. :cirno_sip:
Maybe I should've used beast crest more. I didn't click with it and dropped it pretty fast. I used wanderer's crest for most things, then hunter or the tool-heavy one when that didn't work. I used witch for a while and it felt genuinely OP until I came across something that hard countered it. Maybe I should've stuck with beast

The heal time shortening thing was a staple for me too though. :blobcatmeltthumbsup:

I know my Bloodborne! And I love it so. ;w;
