Hollow Knight - A Bugger of a Metroidvania

A bit further with this now. Like every From game after the first Dark Souls, I have absolutely no idea how far through I am. But I've unlocked a few skills recently which are like the "oh wow now I can go to that place which I couldn't go to" - and I'm surprised how many levels of that there have been.
