I got this as well, it is very polished, possibly a little on the hard side for someone like me. Not sure if I like the save system though.

I would do nothing but heap praise on Hollow Knight. Like Henke said, it doesn't do anything particularly new, it just does the Metroidvania thing with such style and panache, you don't really care that it's treading on old ground. The gameplay, the art, the sound effects, the atmosphere, the music, it's all top notch, and comes together so perfectly.
I haven't noticed any input lag, but it can get pretty hard later on in the game, especially if you're going for the best ending. There's one secret area you have to go through that pulls its design cues straight out of the evilest levels of Super Meat Boy.

The challenge stepped up considerably for the second bossfight, the girl with the sword in Greenpath. Had to redo that one 4 times before I beat it. Now I've progressed on to Fungal Wastes, and some other area, where I opened a bank account.
Also, switched from my wireless XBox One controller to the wired 360 pad and the input lag disappeared. :) Also briefly tried playing with keyboard, should be fine theoretically since there's no analogue input, but it's been so long since I played a platformer on keyboard that it just doesn't feel comfortable anymore.

Took me several tries, but I finally got through it, by the skin of my teeth. Thank God for the Spore Shroom and Baldur Shell charms.
On to Deepnest!

No, Deepnest. I already got the Tram Pass, went to the place where I got the magic sword, but after that I didn't know where to go so I went back to see if I missed anything in Deepnest and now I'm stuck here and there are SPIDERS EVERYWHERE. :(
