I dont think that gamefaqs collection data is worth much to begin with (who even uses that feature?), but youre only looking at one platform for Hollow Knight. It has another ~750ish owners if you factor the non-Switch versions. It's the same with Berseria which has another 560 owners on alternate platforms. I think lots of folks would scoff at that metric, but I think it's pretty good at revealing a game's popularity. The popular games will generally have higher numbers than the less popular ones.

I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much as a strictly single player game. It had a lot of weird game decisions, like the bottle hunting in the junkyard for no reason that did nothing but waste your time.

Usually fetch quests like that in these kinds of games are to get you to explore and interact with the environment, hearing all of Max's thoughts and reading the flavor text.

HaRRicH 03/26/20 10:41:42 PM #88:	2/4 today. Ah well. Hollow Knight is the surprise here. I don't think HK is that great but it's clearly got a fanbase. I don't expect it to be among the strongest of indie games, but it's reasonable to see it have a chance to be in conversations about that next tier of them. For me, I see its strongest correlating game with Shovel Knight -- nevermind the indy-part and Knight-part, they're both eponymous Kickstarter games with some depth in its other characters, encouraged exploration, had ongoing support, and featured distinct art styles. They are both near the top for indy successes in recent years too, broadly speaking. I don't think either of them leave the second round, but this looks good for them. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/ssb/images/0/0d/Sheik-Victory3-SSB4.png <cite>HaRRicH posted [p:936295291] in Contest St...

snake_5036 03/26/20 10:53:01 PM #92:	MoogleKupo141 posted... theres a solid chance Hollow Knight has outsold every game in the Tales series. The most I can find is 2013/2014 where Bamco said Symphonia was the most successful (around like 1.5 million or some such at that time). Since then I think Berseria and Zestiria also surpassed 1 million sales.

You can talk about your Skyrims and Witchers all day long...those games went through significant downgrades to be on Switch visually. Persona 5 is tailor made for switch.
