| Other games I did not get or understand or really enjoy - Vampire Survivors, Hades. I haven't beaten the first monster of Elden Ring either, and I put a lot of time into that one.
In Hollow Knight, I quickly got to a screen where there was a crying person. We have "jump" and "attack" as our verbs. The crying person was way up on the screen, so I can't interact and even if I could, I only know those two buttons. Later, I saw the enemy linked below. When I move close, they have their armor close around them and do not attack. When I am a little farther, they spit fire. Okay. I don't doubt that there is something in the expansive levels and boards and screens that will help, but I didn't see anything to pick up and use or whatnot. 
Text adventures show you things so that you are motivated to explore to find ways to get around them. So, no prob. I kept playing. It looks nice, sounds nice, feels fluid. It is very responsive. I kept playing and eventually all the equivalent of Sonic's rings fell out of me. There's no ability to save the game except that at a checkpoint that I never saw, going to about 15 different screens, so I am done. I am glad other people are enjoying it and I am glad they made hundreds of millions of dollars. The sequel is only $20, I'll probably get that too. I am missing what others enjoy about it, though. |

I do not "get" this game. by 09/06/2025, 9:58pm PDT  I bounced off it, too by 09/07/2025, 10:05am PDT Hollow Knight's distinguishing factor is its loud and obnoxious fanbase. NT by 09/07/2025, 11:22am PDT It's about the joy of exploring an alien world mixed with tight combat. by 09/07/2025, 10:12pm PDT Not sure he was looking for notes, there, MM. NT by 09/08/2025, 5:26am PDT Perhaps not, but as a fan of Hollow Knight I'm too loud and obnoxious to notice. NT by 09/08/2025, 6:30am PDT Did you spam every livestream of a game show asking for Silksong? No? Then I'm NT by 09/08/2025, 6:31am PDT I spammed something all right by 09/08/2025, 8:08pm PDT Though having just replayed a big chunk of it, I have to say I prefer Blue Fire. by 09/13/2025, 6:05pm PDT I enjoyed Hollow Knight and beat the game by 09/08/2025, 11:01pm PDT |
