Andy Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Canny envious on those of you who are only going through hollow knight now like. The incline in quality as the game progresses is incredible. It improves constantly in every aspect - area design, enemy design, combat, mechanics, bosses, platforming... There's a few little niggles I have with it but they're all minor things that are inherent to all metroidvanias anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Dark Souls and SOTN within five posts means I'm going into this with my face scrunched up and my expectations too god damn high. They're not too high. It's better than SOTN, which before this was my favourite in the genre too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not too high. It's better than SOTN, which before this was my favourite in the genre too. I've heard a lot of people say that, like consensus i see is most people think Hollow Knight is the GOAT metroidvania. Or at the very least in the discussion, makes me think i should i give it another chance as i didn't like it much and preferred Ori which i get the impression isn't at all popular.

OpenC Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I think Ori is plenty popular but although it's broadly the same genre the focus felt a bit different. I didn't play that much of Ori but I got the impression it was more about the puzzles than the battles; it feels like a lighter and friendlier game. Hollow Knight is all about the fighting really, and feels spiritually closer to its Castlevania roots in that regard (to me, anyway). I really liked what I played of Ori, but it didn't grab me like this does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OpenC Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 The next boss is an even better battle, assuming you head in the direction that most players naturally head in first time through. Jesus fucking Christ can't imagine ever beating them, if they're who you meant, but amazing how you feel yourself getting better at it.

I really liked what I played of Ori, but it didn't grab me like this does. I meant the opinion that it's better than Hollow Knight to be clear. I know the game itself is popular, they are very different takes on the genre though like you say. But i also get the impression i didn't give Hollow Knight a proper go tbh.

You'll be able to tell if you've won if the normal mantis minions no longer attack you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
