Relaxing Hollow Knight OST + Beautiful Backgrounds

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 (:

Wait until silk song 😉

True .... true 🥲

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

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

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 ?

[@SamuelDehlin]

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!

[@zaidlacksalastname4905]

no shame in growth

[@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

[@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.

[@SleydesTeam]

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

[@beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep]

I have two main reasons: Quirrel Music

[@KingCalumari]

These wallpapers, songs, and entire game is gorgeous

[@معقم]

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

[@ultralemon3731]

Greenpath is my favorite vibe! :)

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.

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 :)

[@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 ❤❤

[@flopdeop135]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep]

Have you fought Watcher Knights, NKG, or the Radiance? If not, I feel very bad for you

[@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 (:

[@rekonvaleszent]

Such a beautiful game and memories rooted into each other

[@guilhermeviana3669]

I'm trying to get all the trophies from this game just because I think it's beautiful. The music, the game design, the sadness and the loneliness aura it carries. Even on hard moments (and it's a lot) I find peace. Like "well just relax, it's not over, you can try again". Even on that flower quest I did it in a lot of peace. This game is amazing.

I have to say Hollow knight was really one of the most enjoyable games that I have ever played, but more than anything, i liked discovering the main story behind it. In the end, I felt funny about the fact that all of the pain, training, dealing, experimenting and sacrifice was made, just so that a random vessel that somehow escaped the closed birthplace now had to save everyones asses.
