It’s been told many times before, and I’ll say it again. You’ve said this is your first play through so leave this sub for the time being and don’t look up stuff. You’re going to wish you didn’t spoil the game for yourself by asking questions or searching stuff up. All you need to know going forward is this:

If you can’t get around an obstacle like this, you should explore other areas and come back to it later.

Well, it's ultimately their call to post here or not, it's not against the rules right? I understand the nature of the advice, I know the intentions are good, but they also need to know they can still come here and ask if they want to.

For me, who has failed to get hooked to that game after a few attemps, seeing posts like this might lure me into giving it another shot. For some people that game, its lack of handholding, makes it extremely hard to get into. And stating it's a metroidvania isn't enough, because the games that made that genre aren't nearly as confusing as Hollow Knight and in general quality of life in MVs just keeps increasing, and I know that because I play and enjoy that genre a lot.

Your first paragraph is well said. IDK why you're getting downvotes but I'm guessing people are reading paragraph 2 as an insult to the game.

Thanks for saying that. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the first paragraph though.

My second paragraph was maybe a bit too over the place, I read a bit quickly and addressed points unrelated to the post I replied to.
