She sends it to me every time she has that conversation. It's how I know new girls have started working with her.

Hollow Knight is great. The bosses are tough, but manageable. IIRC, the only really tough platforming section is optional. I've been picking Metroidvanias from this list lately and been pretty happy. He also has some good maps for them. https://demajen.co.uk/tierlist.html

I was recommended it after I finished both Oris but I remember getting super frustrated with the death system which made the whole thing too hardcore for me and my 2.7 minutes of free time. Did I do it wrong?

As a pretty old dude, I feel you on the lack of time. That's part of why I don't mind looking at maps. I need to be efficient with my time. You do get items that help with survivability and a fair number of checkpoints. As with any media, you should never feel guilty if you're just not feeling it.

The Ori games were beautiful and quite well done too. Best escape sequences ever.

Man, I wanted to like the game, but the souls-like trudge from the save point over and over, because I suck and get beaten by bosses easily, drives me up the wall.

They definitely leaned into the vania side of the genre. If it helps, my approach to bosses is to go in completely defensive at first. That is, don't even try to attack. Learn the moveset, dodge, and eventually you'll start to see where you can squeeze in an attack (or two or three). Don't get greedy and stick to the attack windows that work for you. It can be rewarding, but it's definitely not for everyone.

There is a (something like 50 round) pantheon at the end where you fight every boss/mini-boss in the game plus a unique boss for the final round. It's literally like 45 minutes. I made it to the final round, but I will never finish it. It's just too much for me and I wasn't having fun.

I'll beat my head against any wall until it breaks with a boss fight, as long as I can get back in the fight straight away. Otherwise it's just putting annoying simple shit I've already beaten in the way of my goal, and that bores me.
