It has a hell of a lot better looks then a crappy 2d flash game

https://www.reddit.com/r/HollowKnight/comments/7q4gyf/how_is_the_game_actually_animated/

it was animated in flash

> It looks better and has more substance and atmosphere than most triple A games this generation.

but it's still a simple hack and slash platformer..

For how smooth the game runs, and how detailed and beautiful the animations looks, it doesn't live down to being a simple flash game. No basic flash game looks that good. Hell, it blows 2D and 2.5d Nintendo games out of the water look wise. A typical hack and slash don't have combat that looks so strategic and precise either.

I've only got a couple things left, and as I've been hunting down the last few things, I'm still finding new areas and bits of lore. There is so fucking much in this game, it's staggering.

Holy fuck I fixed it on my own. So when you uninstall the game there is a folder that persists in your appdata where the saves are kept. When I tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck I never checked if the folder got deleted or not. Well I uninstalled and deleted the folder and started a new game and that saved fine. I then placed a copy of the save I kept in there and it saves! Now I can finally beat this game.

I managed to miss acquiring the first nail art somehow. Don't even know how to get to it.

One thing that drives me crazy in this game is going to places to pick up some things. The map is too big and annoying to traverse at times. I wish there were fast travel because I keep getting sidetracked.

There is fast travel though. Have you not been activating the Stag stations?

Boss strategy spoilers

using the abyssal shriek (up soul attack) and a charm combination that complements it will easily wreck her the first phase

Wondering if I maybe I should try to GIT GUD at phase one so I can spam her phase two

Radiance is down, and Im finally all done.

Im sad.

Fucking amazing game and one of the most INSPIRING games Ive ever played, knowing it was made by three people. Just incredible. Ill probably do the speed/steel runs now to do all the quests, since Im an addict. Like 67 hours, but granted a TON of deaths on the late-game super challenges. Like, Radiance, NKG, and Path of Pain are probably like 10 of those hours lmao

I'm at "100%" (out of 107%)

And I haven't beaten Traitor Lord (boss name spoilers) yet. I also haven't touched the Grimm Troupe stuff nor have I done (optional boss spoilers) dream world rematches including Grey Prince Zote nor the Trial of the Fool.

And I've heard of stuff that must be in completely new areas that I haven't unlocked yet! Namely, Path of Pain and White Palace

I do have all masks and soul vessels, the best nail, all the abilities, about 1500 essence, all but two charms, and most of the journal

Just how much fucking content does this game have ffs

A goddamn outrageous amount

The 7% you have left is fairly meaty and ball-breaking too. You have a lot of content left.

How can you recommend a game you've only played for a few hours? What if the game goes to horseshit 50% through

1) Id already had about 15 hours of fun when I made this topic and was having a blast. Easily worth $15 even if the rest was just okay (spoilers: it got even better)

2) Im now done with it
