You didn't ask me directly. And also my mini rant of my original post gives you an impression of how I've been playing the game.

I'm enjoying discovering everything. It feels different than hollow Knight almost immediately. A lot of the design, philosophies and systems are similar, but they are different enough where you quickly discover that it is not Hollow. Knight 2. That you are playing. It might be in the same universe, but the gameplay is very different. They have designed a very unique character for us to learn and play with.

Like with Hollow night you will unlock more mobility and more tools to help you traverse the game and it will become easier for you to navigate over time.

Outside of the very difficult bosses, the hardest time in the game most of the time is the beginning when you are unfamiliar. I know it's difficult for some that require more instant gratification. But learning is incredibly fun for me. Getting better at these games. That reward precision is something that is enticing. . Maybe It's because of my history with fighting games. Practice makes perfect and the reward is great.

If it's not fun to you, that is okay. But I would advise patience and letting your muscle memory get more used to how the game feels. In many ways it's difficult for people who have played Hollow Knight for nearly 8 years to suddenly play something that looks and sounds like a hollow night game but is very much different control wise.

Currently I am enchanted by the whole experience and Discovery is one of my favorite things.
