Hollow Knight is a 2D action-platformer in the Metroidvania style, meaning it's centered around exploring an open map, hunting for secrets, and finding abilities that let you reach previously inaccessible areas. Instead, I have to fight my way through a spider-filled hell for two hours. If I had found the double-jump ability by this point in Hollow Knight, I could hop up to an exit path and continue exploring in the relative safety of the Garden. The leafy walls rush past, becoming dark rock and then web covered crags. Instead of hitting spikes and resetting back to safety to try again, I just keep falling downward.

Mentioned in a Steam post, the developer said "Soon we'll be making some changes in order to support cross-platform cloud saves between Windows, MacOS, and Linux (including the Steam Deck)!" with the plan for it to go live on Monday at 5AM UTC. The game uploads your save files to Steam Cloud, if you have Steam Cloud enabled for Hollow Knight. Hollow Knight developer Team Cherry has announced that an update due to go live on Monday, August 15th will bring a much needed change to the saving system.
