Resonance: The Frozen Path

Despite my best efforts, MIO: Memories in Orbit and I had a short run.

As I slowly work my way through Hollow Knight: Silksong, I find myself having a love/hate relationship with the game.  There are lots of good moments, sure, but there are also plenty of very, very annoying ones that test my patience to the limits.  I especially loathe every time I get stuck on yet another…
