Hollow Knight Video Game • Page 28

Yeah I’ve been thinking sorry to Death Stranding and other GOTY contenders, but this is the one

 

I mean I gotta acknowledge my own recency bias with regards to Expedition 33 and Nightreign, which I loved. But this is something special.

 

I feel very confident that it’ll still be Clair Obscur for me. Doesn’t take away from this game though that it’s not my #1

 

it's wild we had at least 2 once in a lifetime games this year lol

 

Totally forgot about Nightreign, wild year

 

I played this literally all day today, could not put it down. Still haven’t made it any farther than Greymoor, but damn I’m having so much fun exploring and finding upgrades.

 

I’m at the final boss for Act 2. If anyone has already finished it, can you tell me if it’s possible to get all 3 of the “bad” endings in one playthrough? I looked quickly into the requirements for each, so my plan is to beat normally -> beat with the cursed bud -> beat with all wishes completed. I’ve been trying to avoid spoiling myself on the details of each, though, so I haven’t googled enough to confirm that that is an okay plan.

 

There are areas of this game where it truly feels like they just want to be cruel and I feel no accomplishment for getting through it. Just "thank fucking god I'm done with that".

 

found it. equally scary

 

Really starting to feel like this game isn't for me. Metroidvanias are my favorite genre, I've beaten like 50 of them. I love Hollow Knight. But this just seems to be overly, unnecessarily challenging. Maybe I'm just getting too old. I love the platforming stuff, but when you pair it with a bunch of tanky enemies and they're all throwing projectiles it's basically a bullet hell game.

 

It’s certainly more of a soulsborne like than the original

 

The run back to The Last Judge might be what finally breaks me

 

It’s so bad

 

Well I can handle the run back just fine now but fuck that second phase

 

Yeah, that's about where I'm at now, too haha

 

There’s a shortcut you can make it like 10 seconds.
