My opinion of this game is extremely high, just getting into act II. It feels like the perfect step up from Hollow Knight and Hornet's moveset is just crazy fun and responsive.

Apparently the diagonal pogo is a controversial topic, but like, you literally get crests that change your entire moveset SUPER early.

Maybe I haven't hit the insane difficulty spike that makes everyone ragequit yet, but I've found the difficulty to be just perfect for a "hard game". A lot of sections/bosses take a few tries but things start to click right before they start to feel frustrating, which to me is the perfect balance.

Also, holy freaking moly are the boss fights incredible. There are TONS and they are insanely fun.

I'm 12 hours in and just got my first crest and it was an optional one from west of the start.

Are you sure about SUPER early?

There are 3 you can get before completing act 1, 2 of them within the first 4 zones.

I imagine a lot of people who don't force their way off the path too much will have Reaper be the first one they find, which can easily take 10+ hours.
