Hollow Knight!

Yo, when posting ur topic make sure u select the proper forum to post it to.  Looks like u meant to post this to the Games forum but ended up posting it to the Art and Photography forum because that's the first one on the list in the drop down box.  I made this goof as well when I made my first couple topics so I'm just tryna look out for my fellow Spaceheyers!  It's confusing because if ur already in the forum you're trying to post in, you still have to select the proper forum when actually making ur topic.

Hollow Knight helped me survive quarantine in 2020 and SOMEHOW managed to help me with my crippling fear of insects. I mean, I'm still largely afraid of them, but it has gotten better after I played the game.

It has a really neat, simple art style that I appreciate and I like drawing little HK-esque creatures, like moths and stuff. 10/10 game!

P.S. Silksong has officially received an age rating in Russia and South Korea, so this implies that there is a functioning prototype of the full game out there, somewhere, just out of reach to us. Maybe we'll get to play it this year... Maybe.

Probably the game duration, and I like playing Metroid style games

Plus, my friends told me the game was cool, so I bought it

My old bsf was super into it,  but I never had the means to play so I kinda skipped its heyday. Years later, I learned to sail the high seas and played it, before promptly dying of peak. Unfortunately we aren't friends anymore, so we cant talk about it together anymore. bigsad but ohwell. 

Making it into the ruined city, going down that elevator for the first time... feeling the rain hitting the glass as i gently rolled down to the first floor... it was peaceful. it was beautiful. a game i spent my own money on and played through without guides, to get to a point so far in the game.. met with peace..

that was the moment i realized that i love hollow knight.

i was lured into the game by its beautiful graphics and reputation of being a difficult game, and those things along with the amazing story and difficult but fun gameplay are what earned it a special place in my heart

also yea i think you posted this in the wrong forum

def the mechanics and progression mechanics! i love how progression in the game unlocks new movement methods which in turn unlock new areas and so on. its so satisfying retracing your steps and finding previously inaccessible areas that are now open thanks to a new item :)

OMG!!! ik this post is pretty old but i love hollow knight i started playing 5 months ago and the lore is so cool! i got a book on it and i have a plushie of one of the green wormie things (forgot the name sorry) its so much fun.

i just one day found a silksong trailer and was like "Man this game look so cool" searched more about it, got sad after finding out hornet was not the protag, getting used to the knight, beggining to get obsessed over the lore and then my parents getting it on my switch for my b-day!!!!!!!

The art is so amizing!!!!! The music too, the gameplay too! HK such a perferct game. It's all so pretty and easily you get trapped in that little and interesting world. The history it's perferct too.

I really admire the Team Cherry creativity and hard working for that game! 

I guess what made me love it was the character design, the art by general and it mixed with the sound made such and satisfactory game to be plaiyng. 

Honestly? Hollow spaghetti -w-

But seriously, I think its mostly the art and the way the game feels to play. For me, progressing the game was really smooth, but it also made me think in some cases. It let me explore the mechanics in a way that wasn't restrictive or too loose. 

Back to the art, it beautifully captures that mystical and ancient feel of an abandoned kingdom. It feels very "medieval". Achieving the beautiful and classy architecture in the City of Tears, and the heavenly Godhome, and the decaying and forever haunted Abyss. All this tied together with the music just makes the game even more perfect as well!!

Then there's the story, the story! Did you know people are STILL making theory videos about this games story? Its amazing. (I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll shut my lips for now)

Also you get to beat up Zote as many times as you want, thats a huge plus.

Edit: I just realized I missed the entire point of this comment. Oh well! The moment I realized I fell in love with Hollow Knight, was probably when I was trying to get to Cornifer in Fog Canyon. I hadn't gotten the shade dash yet and I was trying to BREAK the shade gate. I had led an exploding jelly to it, was unpleasantly surprised that it just went straight past the gate, was also surprised to hear another jelly start to explode off-screen, and then utterly SHOCKED when the other jelly went straight to me through the shade gate!! I just laughed by ass off and fell to the floor! I look back at that moment and see that I (probably) had the most fun with a game that I could ever have! Zero  scorn to behold, no spite to feel. Maybe I died, maybe I didn't, either way I didn't care. I only felt pure happiness in that moment :)
