I swear I'll finish that game... Someday

Define finish, after I got to the Hollow Knight and was super profound of myself I noticed all this other shit I also had to finish as well, eventually I just had to be satisfied with that rather than get to the ultimate final boss (The Radiance) which just seemed insurmountable for me; so yeah, there are layers upon layers for this game.

Well that's discouraging... I like the game, but the lack of difficulty levels makes it pretty annoying. Maybe I just need to leave it on my digital shelf and admit there are other places to spend my time.

In my opinion, the difficulty levels are built in.

If you want to play the game, the main story line is tough but certainly achievable with some practicing and strategy.

Let's consider the base game up to the bass final boss fight "easy." There are certain achievements that require fighting different bosses that are more difficult.

Then, there is the Pantheon of Gods which is absolutely fucking sadistic.

I love this game. I was absolutely horrible when I started. I played this game alone and no other game for weeks or months. I got every achievement. Except one. I cannot beat the final boss of the pantheon of God's. And I'm at peace with that. It is an achievement that must be earned with no easy way out. I think that's part of what makes this game special. If you're looking for a quick game to 100% or get a platinum trophy on, this is absolutely not that game.
