Just finished the bulk of the non-dlc stuff (~70 hours) convinced this is the greatest thing ever made + I particularly love how all the characters make manlet jokes about the Knight the whole game and they whoop their ass. Change my mind.
 
I've always been on the fence about playing it personally. Is it really that good? All I've gotten about it is hyperbole from youtube videos and never an opinion from another thinking human being lol.
 
That's impossible since A Link to the Past exists

It's amazing, you can gauge how good it is by people who have been coping and hoping for the sequel release for years. And even a sniff of an update makes them go mad.

The thing is the game is really pretty, has a nice story, is really smooth and also is really fun. Is also a soulslike. It ticks all of the boxes. It's also really cheap too.

personally ive kinda soured on soulslikes recently but stranger of paradise got me back into it. big into blasphemous personally so another 2d game might be just what i need. think imma look into hk cheers brocel :feelsYall:
 
played it, and it was shit. too mazey, kept getting stuck.
ended up rage deleting it
 
It's boring like any other metroidvania.
 
make sure you do the The Grimm Troupe DLC, it has easily the best boss fight in the game

Yes I have now, nothing tops the original hollow knight or radiance for me though
 
I mean if you don’t like metroidvanias that’s fair enough. I never played one before though and I still loved it.
some I like, like hardcore mecha. this one just sucked for me. too mazey, I kept getting lost

Map? They did get kind of lazy with it in outer areas I do admit.

I liked ENDER LILIES as it had cool variety of combat and also locations weren't as boring with a shitload of enemy variations to fight. Loli was just a bonus and ost was amazing.

false info It's literally not a soulslike lol it's a metroidvania even the devs admitted that they weren't inspired by souls

low iq move: buying this game

It's more worth pirating it than wasting money on this piece of overrated trash

No it's literally not, normies and trannies overhype it just because of the visuals look faggy af. The gameplay isn't even something stellar, there are decent and ok parts but I'm not a platformer fan. However the game solely focuses on bosses instead of platforming where it does way better. Some of the bosses have terrible and annoying designs that'll piss you off, some of them are boring af. The story, lore and world building all that 3 are nothing interesting albeit corny and tryhard af. (Also they copied Artorias from DS1). If you like cute looking bugs and a tranny you will love this piece of dogshit.

100% Ender Lilies looks much interesting take on this genre than this piece of trash

holy shit, 70 hours? honestly may try just to kill time

I tried it. it's a lot simpler. every aspect of the game is 10x more shallow than HK.
 
you'd have to play it yourself. every Metroidvania knockoff tends to have extremely basic level designs and bosses with very predictable and limited movesets.

"Metroidvania knockoff" lmao, Also yeah you just described tranny knight but much worse

don't believe me? just play it yourself.
Is there a demo? I've played a ton of metroidvanias and end up having a bland experience towards all of them. Tranny knight is the only one that annoyed me the most and the game isn't even hard. Order of Ecclesia has some absurd difficulty that Tranny Knight couldn't even compare.

I don't think so. although this game is objectively inferior to HK gameplaywise it's not uncommon for people to overlook many flaws if they like a certain setting or artstyle a lot. it's quite cheap when it goes on sale. this is the first boss.

Ive seen chads play this game on portable devices
 
I like you as an individual but this is a reddit tier post/opinion

Go to r/HollowKnight instead

Just like hollow knight nothing was unique about those bosses (some were just ds1 copy pasted) just dodge their attack bro.
