Hollow Knight!

This game has so much to it, so I feel like there are so many things to talk about. For now we can start simple and let it all go from there. 


What made you realize you loved Hollow Knight for the first time?

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.

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 :)

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 :)

It was so calming to play (if we put the boss fights aside) it was very calming to play and THE MUSIC OH MY DAYS. The Music is beautiful, I couldn’t get enough of it. All of it is just so beautifully made, every aspect of it is so pleasing to look at.

when I realized I didn't get lost anymore and I could just go around the map and appreciate the little details in each part

To put it simply, the music and art style. I then realized, once I started playing, that I really like the atmosphere and lack of story explanation (you have to figure out what’s going on, but it’s not impossible to do so). :)

When stumbling onto new areas, listening to dialog or the music. When I discovered the dream nail by accident is a notable example.

A young man named "ShadowMoth" on mobile game I play, put me onto Hollow Knight some weeks back, cuz he said it was one of his favorite "horror" games. I'm a fan of horror games so of course I went to check it out.

So far in my 10 hours of reviewing, the game gives me vibes of so many others I had encountered before - Journey, Gris, Cup Head, Silent Hill, Undertale etc. It's alittle nostalgic. I'm enjoying it so far. The lore is very interesting (and I appreciate that it presented something different) and I love that they got their fans to help develop the vocal language for the game.

The musical score is my favorite. I have some of the Tracks downloaded to my phone ^.^

Totally agree, there’s so much depth in Hollow Knight! For me, it was the first time I got lost in the atmosphere and realized how connected I felt to the world and its characters.

No me convence este juego. En su lugar utilizo la herramienta gsmneo frp.

I’m not interested in the gameplay part. Yes, it’s actually such a shame, because I love the designs and the environment, but I started watching a gameplay and kinda zoned out. It’s not my thing. I still admire the character designs rega

I remember the moment it really clicked for me was when I stumbled into Greenpath for the first time. The music, the art, and the sense of mystery made me realize this game was something special. Every new area feels like discovering a hidden world, and that sense of exploration is what kept me hooked.


On a side note, I also spend a lot of time tinkering with my Android devices, and it reminded me of how deep some tools and guides can get when you dive into them. For anyone into that sort of thing, I’ve found resources like gsmneofrpgratis.com super useful. Just like Hollow Knight, it feels rewarding to figure things out step by step.

For me, I realized I loved Hollow Knight the moment I got lost in the City of Tears. The mix of haunting music, beautiful rain visuals, and that feeling of exploring something mysterious just clicked for me. It wasn’t just a game anymore—it felt like stepping into an entire world.

I think the exact moment I realized I loved Hollow Knight was when the soundtrack really hit me—walking through the City of Tears with the rain falling and that haunting piano theme in the background. The music isn’t just background noise; it’s a whole mood that makes the world feel alive.


I actually ended up adding a bunch of the Hollow Knight OST to my Spotify playlist so I could listen outside the game too. For anyone who enjoys game music as much as I do, it’s worth it—makes you relive those little moments even when you’re not playing. I use this spottifyapk.pro for it, and it’s been amazing.
