I don't know .. often different people or different skill levels will solve hard games differently. I love Hollow Knight to bits. It is one of these "hard but fair" games. My first playthrough 1 year or 2 ago has seen me die a lot of times. And it was indeed because I needed to learn how each boss (there are so many of them .. maybe 30 or 40 ?? ) moves and react accordingly. I quickly started to see it as a dance or a dialogue with the boss though. You have a limited but versatile skill set at your disposal, so for each boss, I had to think about how to adequately counter a move. The end result is a beautiful dance of action and counter reactions. I had a second play through a couple of months ago. Since then, the devs have made the game change A LOT. Some bosses had their entire move set rewritten. New areas were added, etc. So I was not playing on memory. I had still acquired a wealth of knowledge on how to control that little bug, even with its limited initial toolset. So I beat most of the game without dying just by reacting quickly to whatever it threw at me, it was an awesome experience.
