I highly encourage anyone who hasn't played Hollow Knight to please check it out, it's my favorite game and I'm sure you'll love it too :)

[@blazoraptor3392]

@@swordam1063 unironically this. Hollow knight, as amazing as it is, was made in a rush with a basically non-existent budget. imagine how good silksong will be with all this time, effort and resources put into it

[@blazoraptor3392]

@daviddornau6297 what is wrong with sweet baby inc? Theyre only a consultation company, they dont have a final say on anything, and usually its for very small things, things that dont exactly exist in hollow knight

[@baronofflames2874]

Hollow knight will forever have some of the best music for an indie game and I will stand by that

[@Ezonater]

it's very true (:

[@345sdf]

Wait until silk song 😉

[@wili1953]

True .... true 🥲

[@swordam1063]

for me its ori and the will of the wisps but i feel silksong will top it

[@leandervr]

Very different style, so hard to compare, but it's up there with Celeste for me.

[@okskors]

i'm not ashamed to say that hollow knight revived my love for piano. i spent 4 years not playing and listening to resting grounds made me want to try it again

[@Yac_BtwBeat]

do you still play now ?

[@user-xq8iw6yr2c]

resting grounds sounds so nice, it was the first ever song on piano i ever learnt, its so simple yet so beutiful.

[@wickedweavile4612]

Funny thing is that i was learning resting grounds over this school semester. The second part of the second half is still giving me a bit of trouble

[@octolingo1892]

That’s awesome!! Piano is a great instrument, and resting grounds is a beautiful piece :) I wish you the best of luck!

[@spadelaspade3345]

I remember I was spoiled since I dug into the content too early, even then the game was enjoyable and the lore was amazing. Every single second was like making a new discovery and pondering what happened and the music was outstanding. I never thought a 15$ game could be so good till now. Like what everyone else said, if you haven't gotten the game please get it for yourself, it's amazing, and you're guaranteed to have a fun time.

[@Ezonater]

Agreed, this game delivers, and then it keeps on delivering! By the time it's done delivering, you've got like 200+ hours of gameplay on your hands.

[@taffles7498]

same i watched merg’s playthrough of it before lol. cant wait to play silksong with no spoilers except for trailers

[@speedrunning9674]

I watched one guys video (I don't remember his name) but he talked about nosk and when I was watching the vid I thought I wouldn't play hk but here I am spoiled abt nosk

[@domicio1577]

Indie games are like that. This is where the real innovation is gaming is happening. Only exception is Nintendo. other publisher just remake the same thing again and again.

[@spadelaspade3345]

@@domicio1577 well in the 2000’s era pretty much every company were being innovative. Game like Halo and Metal Gear brought new genre’s to the mainstream. but nowadays yeah, there isn’t really an appeal in the AAA market aside from nintendo first parties and some niche series i like

[@Quiscala]

This is the video that convinced me to get Hollow Knight. When I first caught wind of this game, my childish brain thought it was a poorly conceived copy of Shovel Knight. Boy, I couldn't have been more wrong. Hollow Knight is a gaming masterpiece. Its beautiful, solemn music, stunningly moody graphics, and mysteriously dark world have earned it a special place in my heart. I have three save files, one of which is 112%, numerous fanart doodles in my sketchbooks, and even a few original characters. By far, Hollow Knight is my absolute favorite indie game, and I doubt I will ever experience anything like it again. I would like to express my gratitude to you, Ezonater, and the people in this comment section, for bringing this game to my attention and allowing me to begin my journey through Hallownest. I'm very sad to see that most of your video game mixes have been taken down from your channel, but please know that videos like these have left a tangible impact on my life. Thank you.

[@Ezonater]

I'm very glad to hear it! Hollow Knight is such a good game and I'm glad this video helped you discovered it.

[@abdullahfarhan624]

I really enjoyed this game too Its so hard to describe in words how amazing this game is from every angle ❤❤

[@musicdev]

I wish I could experience this game for the first time again…also probably my favorite indie game ever

[@lukasherald]

finally... another who knows of shovel knight and hollow knight. I wish you safe travels friend.

[@flopdeop135]

i doubt ill ever experience anything like it again as well, considering that silksong is never gonna come out

[@KingCalumari]

These wallpapers, songs, and entire game is gorgeous

[@sanitizer723]

i dunno how to explain this, but every ost is a feeling.

[@ultralemon3731]

Greenpath is my favorite vibe! :)

[@LaziestBassist]

Such a masterful game. I still remember buying it and playing for the first 10 minutes... the controls, the music, the aesthetic, it all felt too good to be true... until I started getting my ass handed to me by the enemies and environments. I completed the game eventually but more importantly, I walked away a changed man. This game taught me of the power of perseverance and to look at failure as an opportunity to learn and grow. Hollow Knight is so much more than a "game" it is an experience.

[@catbrocreations4582]

At 27:17 I saw Myla, digging away... Those were better times.

We've all been through hard times, we've all been through struggle, but you keep pushing through, you stand up for yourself, you remind yourself that tomorrow is another day, you remember your struggles, you remember you had a hard day, but you get to sleep and have good dreams about what the next day could hold. Goodnight!

[@gubzec4622]

thank you :)

[@gabrielarseneau8662]

I got emotional when "Reflection" came up. It triggers a nostalgia in me that is partly memories of playing HK from 2017 but also a vague sense of childhood... so peaceful

[@Vergil_sparda1987]

same

[@dawsong5208]

And it hits even harder because it plays when resting at a bench, the times that you're in between adventures. It literally gives you the space to breath and reflect on what you found and where to go next. But more so the benches provide a sort of sense of peace in the dangerous world. They remind me of bonfires from Dark Souls 1 in that way. And it's a nice reminder that in real life, it's nice and healthy to just sit back and relax. Give yourself time to breath and reflect on what's been happening. The OST for this game really holds a special place in my heart. Can't wait for Silksong's OST to immediately find it's way into my daily listens as well.

[@SleydesTeam]

one of the very reasons why I love this game... City of Tears...

[@BrookeDeLira]

Love the shots you chose! The White Lady is my favorite track. When I first entered her chamber, I was just enchanted.

[@Ezonater]

Thanks! I am a huge fan of that song as well, that area of Hollownest has a different aura to it.

[@rekonvaleszent]

Such a beautiful game and memories rooted into each other

[@oakleafoasis8659]

This is a great playlist! I recently finished hollow knight for the first time, now just exploring and doing the extras, and the soundtrack really has me hooked. I especially like the shot you chose of Quirrel in the city of tears, I think it captures the vibes of that area perfectly!

[@Ezonater]

Thank you, city of tears and quirrel are in my top favorite things from the game (:

[@nieszkako]

So refreshing having the music and beautiful atmosphere without the stress of dying constantly, thank you! The creators captured such a beautiful melancholy in this game, I love it.

[@moss5356]

I just realized KZbin has been on 1.25x speed for a while. Right when I clicked on this video, I knew it was too fast

It’s a beautifully haunting game with the uniqueness of each region and the soundtrack. Another scene that was moving was the butterfly valley- I said to my son that I could watch that for a long time bc it was so serene.
