Forum Overview :: Hollow Knight
 
I enjoyed Hollow Knight and beat the game by blackwater 09/08/2025, 11:01pm PDT
It's basically like: what if Dark Souls were a 2D platformer?

Also everyone is an insect for some reason

I enjoyed the estus system (or whatever it's actually called) ... there are a lot of abilities but you can only equip a few at a time. Some of them are really lame, but others are great. But you can't have them all at once.

The backstory is kind of depressing. Something something lost bug civilization. I kind of lost interest in finding all the lore because the difficulty ramp for getting the ~~TRUE GOOD ENDING~~ turned vertical at some point.

Sometimes the real good ending... is the fun we had along the way.
