While I'm sure plenty would disagree, I do wholeheartedly believe that Hollow Knight is the best indie game ever made. The gameplay, the look, the feel, the story and ofc, the music. The music of Hollow Knight elevates the experience from a 10 to 100 imo. City of Tears, both the aesthetic of the area and it's music, perfectly exemplify what Hollow Knight is

[@StygianIkazuchi]

Perhaps not THE best one ever made, but definitely one of the best for sure.

I feel like at that level you can’t really determine a “best” but rather a favorite.

[@herb2110]

@@Nimoot I agree, it's definitely the best metroidvania. That's for sure.

[@cosmic2750]

Definitely one of the better ones. But I do have a problem with Hollow Knight's boss design, I feel like HK's boss design has just wayy too much...cheap difficulty made to frustrate the player. I don't like cheap difficulty. So for me, the flawed boss design lowered the score from a 10/10 to like, 9/10 or 8/10.

[@Keiki-kun]

fun fact, it's called the city of tears because geologically there is a cave above with a giant lake known as blue lake, and that's why in this city it always rains, it's the drops of water being filtered through the cave

This theme is super emotional for me. I used to play Hollow Knight on the trips to and from university while I was studying. My grandpa used to do all the driving so I used to play in the passenger seat on my Switch and he saw everything through those transformative years that I went through. From heartbreaks to victories and even the depth of my depression and anxiety back then. Hollow Knight helped me recenter and keep me going back then. My grandpa used to cheer me on during the hard moments within my life and within the hardest boss battles in my game. He unfortunately passed away in my second last year of university and this song reminds me of all the moments I had with him. I remember how he used the last years of his life to bond with me and really connect with me. How he used to tell me that taking me to school and back every day made his days far more exciting and encouraging me to keep going. I miss him dearly and this theme reminds of him so much. It literally brings me to tears but reminds me that all he wanted was to see me succeed. I love this song and Hollow Knight. I'm definitely crying now but I'm happy too. His memory will forever live on as long as I can hear this song. RIP Khulu (The Zulu word for Grandpa) May your soul rest in peace

I think the moment when you first enter the city of tears and you're going down that long elevator as the music swells and then caps as you enter the city proper... is one of the most emotionally compelling moments in the game for me. I can't explain why, it's just... it's done so well. this region has my favorite soundtrack by far

[@Karton206]

+1000000

[@nightshadetq2453]

there are a lot of "favorite moments in hollow knight" for me, but something about entering the city of tears for the first time, with one of the first main vocal tracks, this beautiful haunting song, really impacted me. it made me think about the people of hallownest and how once there were so many that they had this massive city with its complex structures, and how hollow knight is a sort of melancholy fantasy post apocalypse. great song, love these videos

[@mtszkrk]

I love hollow knight's music so much. City of tears is beautiful but personally I always found Resting grounds to be the most compeling. A sad and nostalgic song about memories fading away resonated with me more than I expected it to And it is all in an indie game about bugs with swords made by three people

[@Karton206]

Absolutely. I have similar feelings towards Kingdom's Edge track, which reminds me TowerTown theme from Heroes of Might and Magic 3, I don't know why.

[@steemedpasta835]

pure vessel and sealed vessel are also fantastic pieces to listen to. they are both sad and majestic pieces about the same individual at different points in their existence and it is beautiful.

[@Crazy_Diamond_75]

City of Tears, to me, embodies a few emotions at once that seem like they would conflict. First there's that somberness or sadness you mentioned. Then on top of that there's the captivating wonder and beauty of the moment. And on top of that I think is that "opportunity" your were talking about--the opportunity of adventure and exploration that lies in almost every aspect of that soundtrack. It's amazing how a piece that appears so simple on its face can be so emotionally complex.

[@umukzusgelos4834]

I think in it´self, rain has something very pure to it, like it washes away the joy but also the sadness of the world

[@fennec13]

the whole of Hollow Knight's OST is so amazing - "green Path" is my favorite.

[@VincentLloydM]

I remember getting this game and being in awe over the art, music and scale of the game. This song in particular really made me see what a beautiful game this is. I cannot wait for Silk Song whenever that comes out. Such a great fantastic game.

[@bbkd3b]

Honestly, while Hollow Knight has a lot of wonderful individual pieces, I think the soundtrack really pops when you listen through it all in one sitting. So many different melodies and motifs pop up in different iterations and it made me realize that the music itself was telling a story alongside the game. So excited to hear what Larkin will do for Silksong.

[@yerfdogson9785]

Oh my God I was just thinking of you reacting to hollow knight ost yesterday! City of tears is beautiful, other greats from hollow knight that everyone likes are hornet, mantis lords, and sealed vessel, which is my all time favorite. Hopefully you listen to these in the future!

Hollow Knight always stuck out as having a very impactful soundtrack. Another one that comes to mind is Gris' soundtrack, if you've never played that game.

I feel like the ‘possibility’ part you brought up is really interesting, because the whole game there’s kinda just this feeling of wonder about what it must’ve been like in Hallownest at it’s peak, and the City of Tears is the part that makes you wonder the most. It’s just such a beautiful, massive area that just makes you wonder about what used to be

I remember! Yes, this game is absolutely lovely.

[@atomicbaconbits6695]

In my first playthrough at the end of last year, I wasn't sure if I was going to beat the game then I got to the bench with Quirrel and everything changed. The rain on the glass and the music was what sold it for me.

Entering City of tears for the first time on your life is something so unique that the second time you hear that song you already feel nostalgic, Hollow knight too good maaan.

[@ronwisegamgee]

This music would go perfectly with a part of a documentary that goes over the end of a winter with the melting of the ice and animals awakening from their hibernation covered by the soprano, followed by several camera panning shots of vegetation sprouting at 1000x speed with the violin part, ending with a sky shot of a forest coming back to life for spring.

[@oscaraquite5655]

Something curious is that the rainiest place in the world is in my country (Colombia) and it is called Lloró, which means "it cried". To be more exact, the word comes from Catío, a local indigenous language, and means in English something like "the threshold of the earth", but the word "Lloró" in Spanish means "It cried".

[@LapisD]

This music is one of the best things from this game. The entire time you are in this destroyed kingdom, with zombies everywhere and finding records about this great civilization that just ended because this plague. But everytime you are just walking in tunnels and some ruins, but then you find this city, the capital of this civilization and is just empty and with a never ending rain, then this soundtrack starts and you can just feel the sadness and sorrow of this destroyed kingdom and how everything and the life of everyone that lived there just ended. Is a moment in this game we just can't forget

[@duhhsavvy]

[@lordkyruma]

One of the things i love the most about City of tears is that everything makes sense, if you check the map you can see the reason why there's a constant rain on the city...and that's because you have the BLUE LAKE on top of it!, it's just a subtle and obvious thing, but a lot of devs tend to ignore those kind of details, man i love this game and the devs

[@stigmatoxin1310]

yeah, i learned a couple years ago through a YT vid that Hollow Knight actually has a few leitmotifs that i never noticed until then. the fact that these leitmotifs exist in most of the tracks allows one to draw subtle connections, such as connecting Hornet's theme to the White Palace. i recommend re-listening to the menu theme, track name "Hollow Knight", and then listening to "Sealed Vessel" after. or, if you've already analyzed those songs, "pure vessel" from the godmaster DLC. its the dream version of Sealed Vessel and quite a fitting representation of the Hollow Knight in his prime

[@Sekaro297]

I remember hearing this and just staying for a while.

[@hayakueon3230]

It's much much sadder when lore-wise, the inhabitants are slowly dying one by one after barricading themselves against an ongoing infection, slowly watching their comrades turn into mindless husks of their former selves. With the hidden line ''The Great Gates have been sealed, none shall enter, none shall leave''. The barricading of the city is the last option remaining to the citizens of the city and the Pale King.

[@zmitter4844]

Plus all the innocent uninfected bugs they murdered in the soul sanctum to try to resist the infection using soul and the bugs who resulted to cannibalism after running out of food in the pleasure house. That door really didn’t do much, did it?

[@wordblade6676]

I remember when this first started playing during my playthrough I just sat there for a good ten minutes, just feeling not necessarily at peace, but centered. It's something that has only happened in two other games I've played. Nier: automata, at many different occasions. And DQ9 the Observatory theme (Heaven's prayer) had the same effect. Everything might not be ok right now, but perhaps someday, it might be.

This game holds an interesting place in my heart because of how well it captivated me during a really uncertain time in my life.

Watching this gives me the motivation to revisit the game and maybe finally clear that pesky fifth pantheon.

[@MeteoBahamut]

This is definitely one of my favourite songs in videogames. I love the mysterious feeling here between loss and sadness and hope and glory. Sadly there are some things missing in the OST version of the song: in game it is actually more like 2 versions of the song, one for the inside of buildings and one for the outside and it dynamically changes when you go in and out of buildings. The inside version is purely instrumental and when you step outside the voices kick in. Additionally there is also a deeper male choir at points in the outside version that gives a more somber contrast against the lead voice and the Cello is much more pronounced.

I only recently picked Hollow Knight back up after dropping it for a little bit. Entering City Of Tears for the first time, the cutscene with Hornet and the music starts playing was one of the most magical moment I've had in this game. As well as ofc, sitting with Quirrel watching the rain while this music played was too wholesome too. I've yet to finish the game, I've been taking a break after Hornet Sentinel (in Kingdom's Edge) frustrated the living hell out of me, but I plan to go back soon to finish the final Dreamer. My only problem with the game is that the bosses have cheap artificial difficulty and feel like they're made to specifically piss off the player (and its definitely not a skill issue as some of the hardest bosses in Soulsborne-Sekiro are my favorite bosses; Malenia, Isshin, etc). Well this comment went on for a little long, but I'll still leave a few suggestions for you to listen to: Nightmare King Grimm, Dung Defender and Hive Knight.
