Map of hollow knight1/19/2023 I bought Bloodstained to try after I finish up Detroit and that will kind of be a test for me of whether I'm sick of the genre or just haven't liked the last few I tried since reviews and impressions are so favorable. I think I'm mostly sick of metroidvania games in general despite that it used to be one of my favorite genres. I spent like 15ish hours trying to get into it on three occasions (same playthrough, just bounced off it and came back twice). The solution isnt putting in more fast travel points but perhaps giving players better tools to traveres quickly in the enviroment or something similar to the dreamgate where you set your own points of travel? I think for this genre it can be a difficult thing to balance. Looking at SOTN map there are good few dead ends too. I agree in that sometimes where places where you think would be linked are just closed off, the map is quite compact so just knocking in a few walls would of helped greatly, perhaps just too many dead ends? SOTN does have certain areas that can be a pain to traverse too, Labortory to Bell Tower to think of one. I thought the dreamgate was a pretty good solution, what do you think OP? Before dreamgate was patched in, which I think was a reaction to what issues many people had, it was horrible, especially anyone playing blind. Completely agree about getting around up until the you get the dreamgate ability which makes it more manageable, perhaps this could have been a very early ability to get.
