Yeah, vastly different games and all, just have Knight in the title, but also indie darlings that are fucking AMAZING!

S. Knight because it felt old school and has Battletoads.

Never played Hollow Knight.

Shovel Knight

Never a fan of backtracking heavy "metroidvania" stuff. Hollow Knight would have been better as a Zelda 2 clone

as much as i enjoyed Shovel i gotta give it to Hollow because it's a 'metroidvania' and i'm a sucker for those. and the combat is better.

both are fantastic games though

Hollow Knight but you can't go wrong with either one. Both are SO generous with their price points and DLC.

Eh, not really.

S. Knight is more of an old school castlevania platformer with a SMB3/SMW world map system

H. Knight is metroidvania.

Hollow Knight is a metroidvania with a lot more content

Shovel Knight is a platformer

Shovel Knight was more my thing. Super colorful and a great art style. I did not like Hollow Knights artsyle whatsoever.

Tough one. Both are excellent games. I think I slightly prefer more traditional platformers like Shovel Knight over Metroidvanias. But Hollow Knight had a ton of depth. Plus, beating bosses in Hollow Knight was more satisfying than accomplishing anything in Shovel Knight. So I have to go with Hollow Knight for this.

There's something yahtzee from zero punctuation said about shovel knight that stuck with me that highlights why it's a great game. It seems like a homage to a ton of retro NES games like mega man, castelvania, metroid, and mario games, but it works on a level where you don't need to play any of those games or even have a frame of reference of those games to enjoy shovel knight.

I loved Hollow Knight more but I've never played a game with so many bugs in it before.
