Hollow Knight | The Completionist

As the most requested game from our Indieland stream, this week I complete my Hollow Knight review!

People have been asking me to play this game for quite some time now. And apparently there's ONE more DLC coming out so I should probably finish it now before there's even more on my plate. I can't stress enough how awesome Team Cherry is. The story of Hollow Knight is a modern Super Meat Boy tale, where from Steam they were able to launch on consoles and keep their game growing, with the latest addition being Hollow Knight Switch. But completing this game is going to be a challenge. With collectibles, speedrun achievements, and: Steel Soul mode. Where, if I die, my save file deletes. I'm going to be on the edge of my seat for the entire Hollow Knight gameplay!

Let me know what you thought about my Hollow Knight review! And be sure to stay until the very end ;)

Not to mention, Hollow Knight is hand drawn and developed by *three* people

I think godmaster is pretty fair, "oh you want an ending where you become a literal god? ok, but to end as a god, you must become a god"

[uuuu]

"one more dlc being worked on"
whoops, it's Hollow Night 2.

May I offer a small correction? Dying during a Steel Soul run doesn't actually erase your save file, it's actually even worse than that. If you fail a Steel Soul run by dying, the save file becomes inert and useless. In other words; your save file dies. And you have to manually erase it, effectively giving your failed run a burial, if you wish to ever use that slot again. It's a walk of shame, and I think that was a hilarious idea by Team Cherry.

About that hornet dlc, Nah it’s a another game, *have fun doing that 100%*

Beginning: "Lots of playthroughs needed. A beautifull game that is amazing."

Middle: "A lot of places to explore and amazing bosses. More DLC's on the horizon. Finished most of it. Now for the 112% completetion, the hall of gods."

End: "GO AHEAD! LOOK AT THAT PINECONE! IMAGINE YOU DIGESTING THAT THING! BITE! BY! BITE! No one, and I repeat, NO one. Should attempt completing that...

Good game"

“Cheerful for a time, then disturbing and a little upsetting”

Yes, discovering a mass grave of dead children that also happen to be your character’s abandoned siblings would be a little upsetting.

6:17 Team Cherry: " how about instead of a dlc, we give you a full SEQUEL to Hollow Knight! What do you say?!

Jirard: *Shoots Himself*

[Hologue]

So about that new playable character...
Turns out its a whole new game :P

[emanuelemunizramos]

Team cherry: it's just another dlc, you'll play with Hornet
Also team cherry: you know what, i'm making a hole new game

[lukingluv]

I feel like I scammed the developer when I bought this during steam sale :(

[johnreilly]

Hollow Knight has become the bar at which I rate other games. I paid $15 for this gem & to be honest it has led to me not buying full AAA games for $60 knowing they cannot match what team cherry did. Love this game!

[meatloaf]

“So I better complete this game ASAP before they put even more on my plate”

Don’t worry Jirard. It won’t be out for a time

[matz]

"one more DLC being worked on"
team Cherry: I pulled a little sneaky on ya

[sonam]

Liked this game a lot, but it had too many bugs.

[darkhoneysweet]

I bought Hollow Knight completely blind. Just saw it was on sale on Switch and said "Metroidvania" in the description and I decided to give it a try. This has been the first time since I was a child that I had this feeling of overwhelming excitement for the unknown in a video game. It was an even greater experience than Mario Odyssee or Breath of the Wild because I had no idea what I was in for. Every step was simultaneously enchanting and terrifying. I got Goosebumps every time the environment changed. I just couldn't put it away and though I poured hours and hours into it I was still unable to find every secret and I'm sure I still only know half of what Hollow Knight has to offer.
This childlike wonder I experienced for the first time in Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time. I didn't think I could get there again.

This is the first time I've ever heard someone complain about a game for being *too* good

[RelyeaGaming]

Such a great game! For only $12-15 with all DLC included... it is well worth the money.
