I want to like hollow knight but I don't know where to go and the walkthroughs are confusing. I'm exploring but I barely keep finding my way.
It's a game for people who enjoy being lost.
If you don't like wandering, reasoning about areas, and keeping track of strange things to investigate later it's just a pretty good action game with long breaks between sections.
Even among fans the map system is polarising (people who hate it are wrong and hate great things btw (; )
It's not so much the being lost part I take issue with, it's that I keep running through the same areas wondering which path I probably missed; the maps are (intentionally) vague and it's hard to figure out if there was a path I missed, or passed because at the time I didn't have the tools to cross.
It's a great game, but I could be exploring one biome while the next place I should be exploring is in another.
Did you buy the Quill from Iselda? After that, the maps start drawing themselves and it's actually pretty detailed. Although you still need to find the map guy in each new area.
The wayward compass charm from Sly shows you where you are on the map too.
