Topic | How is Hollow Knight? |
Simoun 02/16/18 9:53:43 PM #9: | Hollow Knight is my number 1 indie of 2017. Thoroughly recommend if you're into vastly explorative Metroidvanias with an added difficulty spike. It's Dark Souls in 2d form if its focus was more on the fast-paced maneuvering as opposed to the deliberate resource management and exploration of Salt and Sanctuary. It has a beautiful albeit melancholy world that just makes you question it, great music, interesting characters although some of them feel incomplete due to not reaching a pledge goal in the kickstarter, Buuut, if you didn't know that (don't worry you won't notice until you look up the character in a wiki), the game's environs are perfect for worldbuilding. You'll often come upon a setpiece with a vaguely familiar feeling and think to yourself "What must have happened here, I wonder." The boss fights are more brutal than Cuphead, but are totally doable in time. The writing is okay. And a few things you encounter in the game sometimes subvert expectations in a I Knew You Would Do That kinda way. --- It's not so cliche anymore when it's happening to you. ...
