Part of why I loved Celeste despite not being all that in to platformers.
I’m in the same boat: Hollow Knight frustrated me so much that I never finished it, even though I really liked the lore and the world and the non-boss fights. Celeste on the other hand might be even “harder”, but as you respawn on every screen literally instantly, you can fail and retry hard parts a hundred times until you make it.
Oh that’s good to know! That’s another one I still haven’t played, but this is a strong recommendation.
It’s a great example of a game that is challenging, but not punishing.
