Okay, I'm loving Hollow Knight so far. I'm like 30 minutes into it so far, got my butt kicked the first time by this big beetle with a club...came back and whooped him and then broke this cute looking caterpillar out of a glass jar. Dude looked so happy that I let him go. ^_^

Whats the deal with it? I keep hearing about this game.




As someone who 100%'d the game, I'll field this.

Short version is it's a Metroidvania with an emphasis on exploring and melee based combat. The world feels very Dark Souls-esque and it has a difficulty that matches that at times (git gud scrub is one of the two pieces of advice I give most people. The other is backtrack and explore for stuff you missed). The game is absolutely HUGE, with a large array of bosses and secrets to find. If you like 2D platformers, I highly recommend it. Just be aware that a standard first time run takes around 40 hours typically. When I say the game is huge I mean it.


How does it compare to, say, Salt and Sanctuary?

So far, this game feels like it has more in common with standard metroidvanias like Axiom Verge and whatnot whereas Salt is essentially a love letter to Dark Souls fans. I'm thoroughly enjoying Hollow Knight so far, but if you want something more Souls-like, Salt is the game I'd recommend. If you want a metroidvania, get this one. :)

Honestly, there's not alot else to spend money on atm. You need the dash ability to unlock the shop. The other thing would be the "Fragile" charms, which give NICE bonuses but break if you die and need to be repaired.

If you're not having too much trouble staying alive, the Fragile Greed charm can keep you rolling in money for as long as you equip it. Saving Grubs will help with that too. The Grubfather will reward you in ever increasing amounts for each one found (go hard left when you descend from Dirtmouth to find him).

Late game, money is trivial. You'll run out of stuff to spend it on. I think I finished with 10K Geo saved

Well I don't have dash yet. Purely speaking about the compass charm and the map pins she sells. I'm thinking the compass I guess and the quill? This does remind me a lot of exploring in the first Dark Souls. :3

Its fun if you like the style of game. Definitely one of the best, most polished Metroidvania's I've played.

Dash is the next ability you get IIRC. It'll be awhile tho.

Compass and quill are so useful they should come equipped standard, tbh. I only took the Compass off for boss fights.

I've actually had the compass off for most of my time with the game so far. It's an inconvenience, sure, but I find the geo-magnet to be much more useful early game. Only just recently re-equipped it (and only because I just bought an extra 2 notches).

The biggest ass-kicking I've received so far in the game has been the dream version of the first boss. Took me 30 minutes and a few different charms to finally be able to do it. Wasn't till a little bit after the boss I got an upgrade that probably would have made it easier >_> the tornado spin.

I broke down and bought Hollow Knight myself last week. It's amazing. Quickly becoming one of my favorite games ever. The world is designed extremely well, and the art style and bosses and little bug characters are great. It's challenging, but balanced so that you almost never hit a wall, since there's always different paths to try.

Well, anything would be appreciated!
