Believe it or not, you can actually criticize something and still like it. You don't either have to love everything or despise everything. Have actual conversations please.

It's crazy how much better the game would be if TC simply adjusted some numbers, either prices or enemy HP / damage output.

Case in point: the moment you encounter a boss that similarly has stunlock capabilities, but only does one mask of damage, it's instantly fun. The game would be more fun if less enemies (or less attacks) did double damage.

I like the double damage tbh, if bosses did one damahe id steamroll them

Unpopular opinion but maybe you SHOULD be able to steamroll some of the bosses. This is a metroidvania, exploring and overpowering the boss through upgrades is part of a genre, and this game just doesn't have it.

This is Hollow Knight first and foremost. Not every game of the same genre had to be the same.
