I highly recommend playing Hollow Knight again with one mod (and its accompanying QoL mods) enabled: Hallownest Vocalized. This does one thing to the game: every character and every bit of text gets VOICE ACTING!

I think godmaster is pretty fair, "oh you want an ending where you become a literal god? ok, but to end as a god, you must become a god"

[@stylesnivy1839]

Yea...but the bindings suck. Especially in the final pantheon

[@stylesnivy1839]

MrGemHunter perhaps I was a bit harsh. The collector having primal aspids and markoth kinda are hard but I’m making slow progress somewhat

[@CreationCopilot]

Luckily, the bindings aren’t needed to get 112 percent completion. Neither is the fifth pantheon.

[@Skykayava]

Yeah true, but PoH sucks, I think the only way is to get HK on pc so I can cheat my way to the ending ;>

[@idfrigginkman]

@@Skykayava Cheating is bad. Feel bad.

[@AngryNerdBird]

May I offer a small correction? Dying during a Steel Soul run doesn't actually erase your save file, it's actually even worse than that. If you fail a Steel Soul run by dying, the save file becomes inert and useless. In other words; your save file dies. And you have to manually erase it, effectively giving your failed run a burial, if you wish to ever use that slot again. It's a walk of shame, and I think that was a hilarious idea by Team Cherry.

[@TonyEtown420]

LOL, yeahhh I realized that when I died on my first Steel Soul run. I had always heard that (prolly from watching this video) "THE SAVE FILE GETS ERASED"...but I was HEARTBROKEN when I realized the save file STAYS, showing a Shattered Mask forcing you to *erase the save file yourself*....Seeing the save file there kept me hoping like I could find a way to restore it, even though I KNEW there WASN'T....

Personally I think getting the Dream No More ending is the hardest challenge a normal player (like myself) should do. It feels like a looming threat of a boss battle, but doable with enough practice. The Godmaster DLC kind of feels like it just shoved its way in there like "If you REALLY want more Hollow knight, you gotta eat a f*cking pinecone.

I bought Hollow Knight completely blind. Just saw it was on sale on Switch and said "Metroidvania" in the description and I decided to give it a try. This has been the first time since I was a child that I had this feeling of overwhelming excitement for the unknown in a video game. It was an even greater experience than Mario Odyssee or Breath of the Wild because I had no idea what I was in for. Every step was simultaneously enchanting and terrifying. I got Goosebumps every time the environment changed. I just couldn't put it away and though I poured hours and hours into it I was still unable to find every secret and I'm sure I still only know half of what Hollow Knight has to offer. This childlike wonder I experienced for the first time in Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time. I didn't think I could get there again.

@@Seiyol I mean, it doesn't seem so impossible knowing that BEFORE going to the pantheons he first beat all bosses in their radiant difficulty.

You don't have to do all four bindings in one go, you can do them one at a time. (It changes the bindings to glow gold. I doubt most people care about having a minor aesthetic change.)

Ok listen,if anything in this review intrigues you and makes you want to buy this game,please remember this 15 dollars,I have spent over 60 hours on this game and is easily my favourite Metroidvania and in my top 10 games of all time,the art style is great,the difficulty is just hard enough and gives you that “ok just one more try” feeling each time you die and if a boss is too hard you can often go get stronger then come back,each boss is different and fun to fight,they’ll often kick your ass on a first try but when you win it’s an ginormous feeling of satisfaction when you win.

So happy you played this and that you enjoyed the hell out of it. Hollow Knight is such a great game and I agree with nearly everything you said about it. I am not looking forward to making my Pantheon of Hallownest guide (I still haven't completed the Hall of Gods or all Bindings for PoH). Well done to you for doing so! You are incredible! :D I'd offer you my boss guides but you certainly have no need of them. xD I'll admit that I expected a "Finish It" rating for Hollow Knight...because of the Godmaster content. I think without that, Hollow Knight would very easily be a "Complete It" game. Ah well. *shrug* Here's to the upcoming Hornet DLC and may it be stupendous!
