GuestHollow Knight may be incredibly full of content, but Dread’s raw gameplay destroys it, and I love HK, 112%, pantheon of hallownest completed and white palace platforming challenge finished.

Guesttbf hk has tons more to do, more ways to do it, more area variety, and better music all for a quarter of the price
dread is fine, i beat it recently but its stupid to think it outdoes its competition because its first party nintendo
but then again, arguing with tendies is pointless here-

Guest>Dread’s raw gameplay
Wtf does this mean? Dread’s exploration, combat, bosses are all shit compared to HK. There are not even any puzzles. Dread is a retarded version of Guacamelee where everything is kinda shitty and pointless.-

GuestCombat and mobility scale exponentially but its such a slow burn, I don’t blame anyone for checking out early. The game tricks you into thinking its 2D dark souls but it evolves into a crazy platform fighter by the end. There’s many people that have the opposite opinion to yours, where they love the slow boring part of the game but them quit when it gets too hard and fast for them. Can’t please everyone I suppose.

actually being honest, Hollow knight couldn’t capture the subtle horror mystery atmosphere that Metroid does. it was genuinely boring and uninteresting lore wise. Metroid always has fun areas and bosses that come at you by surprise. then hits you an predictable but honest twist at the end for fun. Hollow knight was fine but it just wanted to be sad and depressing rather than actually encouraging you to explore a foreign world riddled with mystery and secrets. Metroid does it better.

I respect Hollow Knight but I have tried to get into it twice and just did not stick with it further than the first two bosses or so. It’s not that i was not having fun or anything, but for some reason I just did not come back to play more the day after. Maybe it’s the art direction or the huge levels that aren’t all that dense. The art direction really bothers me though. It reminds me of Lenore in that watered down Tim Burton way, mixed with that low detail Flash game looks.
It also came out the same year as RainWorld and I was kind of Upset that it got all the good press while the actual mould-breaking masterpiece was completely ignored.
But again, this has more to do with personal taste than anything. For me, Hollow Knight is no metroid. In metroid games I can’t drop the fucking controller. It is dense as fuck and the atmosphere is amazing in its own way. It is not affected by the Dark Souls shockwave of "decaying world" melodrama, which again, taints Hollow Knight deeply. This brings me back to the art direction in HK, because that serious melodrama mixed with the cutesy art direction reminds me too much of tumblr fanart of calarts shows or something, and I think I am a bit tired of that.

GuestThis is why I’ve always argued that Hollow Knight should be compared more to games like Dark Souls than Metroid. Hollow Knight’s approach to the genre is just too different with its Super Meat Boy platforming and comparatively simple but more abusable tools. The dash having i frames was all I needed to see to know that HK wasn’t for me.

GuestYeah but its frame 1 teleport and you get 3 of time. You can’t go through abilities but its essentially free movment. HK bosses start necessitating that you i-frame through laser walls, but Dread the only boss where it felt necessary to have that amount of obscene mobility is the final boss. Point being, I don’t see what’s so disasterous about i-frames, the bosses in Dread (excluding final man) are so easy that you wouldn’t even need them.

GuestNot even remotely true for Hollow Knight. Not only is there sizeable cooldown on the i-frame dodge, but a lot of attacks are simply too big to dodge through. There’s set attacks that you might be able to i-frame through, and attacks that might be better to outright just walk away from or attempt to parry. The two final bosses are completely opposite in terms of how they fight and the i-frame dodge is way more useful on one that the other, almost like they gave a player a set of tools and tested them on how to use all of them.

GuestHollow knight is not bad by any means but what hollow knight to do fails where metroid succeeds is give you a real sense of mystery and intrigue right off the bat. metroid worlds are so foreign and mysterious. you don’t know what will come next which makes it’s claustrophobic explorative aspects strong. with hollow knight you might only get interested after playing it for 2 hours because you meet a mysterious cute girl character that you want to know more about

GuestSame. I’ve tried to get into it four or five times and each time I just couldn’t. I’m also not a fan of the art style of the same reasons as you plus I don’t like the bug aesthetic. Supposedly it is hand drawn png in photoshop loaded into unity but it looks like vector animation like flash to me. I didn’t hate the game I did get bored and put it down though. My expectations were high because so many said it was the best Metroidvania there was and revolutionized the formula. I don’t get it. Dread I can play for a couple hours until my eyes get strained and I need a break.

Guest>the best Metroidvania there was and revolutionized the formula
This is what bugs me the most. Rainworld fits that description a lot more. It’s a smart, brave game and is actually revolutionary and came out the same year.
Seriously, Hollow Knight is a great game in its own right but the fanboys can be extremely annoying because as an indie game that piggyrides on the metroid formula, it’s not the one which has added more to the conversation. Then an actual metroid game with decent production values comes out and if it doesn’t have the same size as a flash game with kilometers and kilometers and fodder at a budget cost, it’s shit.
Well rainworld is even cheaper and blows holow knight out of the water. But perhaps that game is actually too hard.

>too many cutscenes
>rushed towards the end, pacing is off
>fps drops
>loading times
>railroads you too often
>map is cluttered to hell
>acquiring item upgrades before you have it doesn’t give you the item
>soundtrack is mostly forgettable
>some control issues
>poor upgrade pacing, certain upgrades used 2-3 times then replaced in 15 minutes
>too many upgrades tied to just opening doors
>zones don’t feel distinct enough, Cataris and Artaria become covered in fire & ice, half of the zones have 1 or 2 fire and ice areas too; Ferenia, Elun and Hanubia are way too similar
>not a lot of enemy variety
>whilst challenging, bosses like Drogyga are poorly designed, it’s just a giant clam. Experiment No. Z-57 is super generic
>ADAM might as well not exist with how useless the info is
>EMMI are only scary for the 3rd time at best, the rest you can just fly pastit has one of if not the least immersive and shitty world I’ve played in a metroidvania:
>teleporters
>trains
>elevators
>10 second long animation every time asking for travel confirmation
>40 second long loading times combined with choppy cutscenes
>none of the travel cutscenes even show you travelling through the world
>no organic on-foot area transitions
>zones don’t feel distinct enough, half of the areas have 1 or 2 fire and ice sections
>Cataris and Artaria become covered in ice making them feel similar
>EMMI zones on every world further reduce individuality
>Ferenia, Elun and Hanubia share too many visual similarities

Guestyou have some valid points there. I mean, I had a blast playing the game, but the EMMIs alone drop the replay value to 0, and holy fuck, I never could memorize which area I was in. Distinct areas was always one of the best things in metroid, and here it just feels bland.
My biggest gripe however are the travel confirmations. Even when you stand on the button by accident for just too long, it interrupts you for an eternity before you can abort it. How can you fuck up fast travel like that? -

GuestHallowknight is more akin to the standard platformer adventure games like Zelda 2, Monster World where the areas are more segmented and the prompting is more story focused.
I’d go as far to say that the parts where Hallowknight tries to copy metroid’s style of exploration are the weakest.

GuestI like Hollow Knight and I do think that Dread is a bit too short, but honestly HK does feel a bit bloated in comparison. Dread seems more carefully designed to me, it feels like every screen serves a purpose, there’s no
real dead air to speak of. In HK I feel like a lot of areas are just there to present an isolated, out of context challenge the dev designed rather than being part of the world as a whole (in terms of game design, not lore) – and I don’t it’s necesserily worse because of it, just different.
But would Dread really be better if they put some more extra gauntlets in between the upgrades? I don’t really think so. -

Guestpower bomb is a good way, but the morphball being slow af and the charge can take its fucking time.
Don’t waste storm missiles on it. It’s a tiny bit faster, but you need to lock on four or five times.
my experience was that missiles and free aim were the fastest way to destroy it, usually fast enough to get ready for the follow up attack -

>Ori and the Will of the Wisps
>Rabi-Ribi

GuestThere are some bitter Hollow Knight fans mad that people like another Metroidvania but a lot of it is masked console war shitposting.
I don’t know why these games can’t coexist, they do wildly different things with the Metroidvania concept. Hollow Knight is more akin to Souls or Zelda 2, a large RPGish map you explore and progression is tied to character quests, badge setups and plot. Metroid is a run n gun where you’re doing new puzzles or dealing with stalker enemies every single room.

GuestHollow Knight is a better game than Metrod Dread. It is, nothing you say will be able to change this fact.
That’s not to say that Metroid Dread isn’t good because it is, but Hollow Knight is better, no matter how much you might screech and whine and cope and all that shit, it won’t change a thing. -
