Current Events > Have you played Hollow Knight?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I wanna replay it but I'm waiting on a Silk song release year

Yeah. I... it wasn't for me.

Yeah. Tbh it's a perfect game.

Hated the backtracking and the souls-style runbacks. Would have been a great rather than just good game if they designed it to not be so tedious with those

As is the case with all video games, the Souls elements ruined it.

Poll not working

But I tried to vote "yes"

Dropped over a hundred hours on it in the first five weeks or so after it hit Gamepass. Love love love it. The music, the atmosphere, the gameplay, everything. Wanted to get the Steel Soul achievement with the 100% in under 10 hours achievements, died twice at the same point halfway in the run, then died fighting Hollow Knight. Was MAD. Then cruised through the next run and got em.

Stoked for Silksong, but yeah, waiting for a concrete date before doing another run. Maybe Steel Soul again, I dunno.

Yes, its one of the best Metroidvanias of all time. Im still working on Godmaster on and off. Ive beaten all Radiant bosses besides the three you can only unlock in the 5th pantheon, and Ive beaten the first four pantheons. I want to beat the four pantheons with bindings to unlock lifeblood hearts before beating the fifth pantheon.

Yeah I like it but it eventually got just way too tough for me

yet I was somehow able to platinum returnal

I've done everything except the Godhome DLC which isn't my jam, the combat and boss fights aren't why I play these games

It's one of my all-time favourite games, but the boss rush thingies can go die in a fire. Silksong fucking when??

Git gud.

Yes, I put about 45 hours into it.

Yes, but I never got around to getting all of the endings. The only one I've had was the bad ending.

I can understand not liking it, but it's such a minor element that I do no understand how it "ruined" the game.

yes. it's up there for one of my favorite games. they have some crazy hard optional bosses to it. but it's so easy to jump right back in and try again i don't mind it. definitely not for everyone but i do enjoy hard games and most of it isn't really too bad.

La Mulana did "ludicrously hard metroidvania" much better.

Ive played it. Its an awesome game with a fantastic art style, but its not for me.

I like hard games and Metroidvanias, but the overall feel of the game just doesnt do it for me. Its very stiff and feels somewhat empty. I also prefer pixel art to the hand drawn look.

So Axiom Verge and Blasphemous are my jam, but I couldnt get into Hollow Knight.

Yep. Very good Metroidvania. At least got the good ending, but definitely didn't manage to do everything. Nightmare King Grimm stonewalled me pretty bad, so I just decided to wrap the game up at that point.
