Tricked has a negative connotation when we got you to play something that's fun
>3 gazillion filler rooms with absolutely nothing just to make the game last longer
>discovered new area? no fun allowed until you find the map guy or a bench
>exploration is exhausting instead of fun
>interesting platforming only happens in like 3 areas, the rest is braindead walks from room to room
>retarded soulslike bonfire checkpoint distances
>retarded pin system that locks out mandatory movement features that should've been part of the base mechanics
most overrated game in the genre.
>>3 gazillion filler rooms with absolutely nothing just to make the game last longer
its a Metroidvania
new area? no fun allowed until you find the map guy or a bench
no one said that, you just suck shit
is exhausting instead of fun
how bout you don't like exploring to begin with?
platforming only happens in like 3 areas, the rest is braindead walks from room to room
fair
soulslike bonfire checkpoint distances
and it works perfectly
pin system that locks out mandatory movement features that should've been part of the base mechanics
learn to make builds next time
>its a Metroidvania
yeah, a bad one. None of what I described happens even in the ay Metroid, in Ori, in Axiom Verge, The Messenger, Blasphemous, and millions of others. HK is too big for no reason.
>no one said that, you just suck shit
I said that retard. There is no skill involved in guessing where the map guy and the bench are.
>and it works perfectly
not for me, it just feels like a waste of time. Some people like the "tension" but I don't feel tense at all, just bored.
>learn to make builds next time
I shouldn't have to do that just to have basic mechanics. I don't like forced RPG shit.
>None of what I described happens even in the ay Metroid, in Ori, in Axiom Verge, The Messenger, Blasphemous,
It happens in every single one of those games what the fuck are you saying?
>There is no skill involved
There is skill involved in keeping a mental map while navigating a new area, sorry to break it to you.
>but I don't feel tense at all, just bored
Then don't suck ass at the game and die a lot so you won't feel bored?
>I shouldn't have to do that
If you're not willing to engage with the game then why bitch and cry when the game doesn't do what you want?
>It happens in every single one of those games what the fuck are you saying?
I'm saying that for every filler room in Metroid (which usually has a secret, a save room or something) there are a hundred completely empty rooms in HK. Not only that, HK is like twice times the size of some of the games I mentioned combined. Some people think big = good, I don't when it's mostly empty space.
>There is skill involved in keeping a mental map while navigating a new area, sorry to break it to you.
not really unless you're 5 years old. It's just tedious at best, cause if you die you have to walk through 400 empty rooms to go back to where you were. Pure empty filler.
>Then don't suck ass at the game and die a lot so you won't feel bored?
that is not the issue retard. I shouldn't have to spend 15 minutes traversing a boring empty samey cave just to find one gay to tell me where the fuck I am or one place to save the game so I can turn this shit off and do something else. It's a massive waste of the little free time I have.
> you're not willing to engage with the game
what the fuck does that even mean? I engaged with the game, I just don't like what it forced me to do. I don't like its design decisions, I'm allowed to criticize them. I was memed into playing a metroidvania, not dark souls 2D. The worst part is I can't even trust MV reviews now, cause hollowshitters always give bad reviews to games that don't have HK's tedious bullshit, stuff that isn't even a staple of the genre.
>there are a hundred completely empty rooms in HK
You're either completely fucking retarded or baiting or have not actually played either HK or any of the other Metroidvanias you're gesturing to.
This is one of the largest areas in the game, can you tell me which room here is "useless"? I already know what answer I'm going to get and it's going to out you as an utter retard so this ought to be fun.
>cause if you die you have to walk through 400 empty rooms to go back to where you were
Threw those goalposts like the Hulk lmao, what does that have to do with finding the map when you first enter an area? Are you getting mixed up?
>It's a massive waste of the little free time I have
Oh so you're a wagie, that explains quite a bit
>I just don't like what it forced me to do
A game expecting you to play well is now forcing you to do something you don't want?
>The worst part is I can't even trust MV reviews now
This has nothing to do with the game itself and the fact that you rely on fucking reviews to determine if something is good or not instead of just playing shit also is incredibly revealing
Please go back to mobile games you can play on the shitter or in your cubicle, they really seem more your speed. I don't even particularly want to defend HK, I think it's just somewhat above average but somehow every single person who rages over it outs themselves as a complete shitter

There are an abundance of mostly empty rooms, but it's not that big of a deal. A flaw to be sure, but not a deal breaker
When you discover a new area, it's fun to actually be lost in it. Play a different genre if you don't want to explore.
Subjective, I found it fun
The rest is mediocre enemy combat and exploration, the game's focus is not on platforming, it's on combat
The bench distances between them are fine, though, walking to bosses from them can be annoying
No idea what pin features are you talking about. If you mean charms, then are you really that desperate for sprint and dash master charms? Useful sure, but certainly not required.
Overall, yes, this game is overrated, but it's certainly above average when it comes to metroidvanias.
>wrong

>bad at the game

You are right it is extremely overrated and it has more than a few flaws but it is fun and you sound overly bitter
ya you basically have to b line all the mobility powerups otherwise exploration is ass
HK and Dragon's Dogma. Two of the worst games I've ever played.
Boring boomer slop
>friend never shuts the fuck up about Hollow Knight
>play it
>all the power-ups you get are boring
>combat stays almost entirely the same the entire game
>monochromatic areas that put me to sleep
I honestly don't get what HK fags see in this game. I'd have more fun replaying fucking Metroid Fusion over this shit
The uwu chibi gay bug game for literal children and queers will always be the biggest scam in history. Thank God everyone who likes it is a chud and will die young.
Bloodstained. Thanks Ganker
Undertale. Music and combat is cool. Characters and plot are garbage and everything else is garbage. Even playing it completely blind I thought it was pretty weak
Automata. I got ending E and the ass was fat but I'll never play it again.
>low quality weebshit for people too think they're too good for weebshit
>game based on the pacific northwest made by a white man with 0 anime style is weeb
this is what soi brain does to a MF
Congratulations on perfectly encapsulating the type of low IQ loser the game is made for
i got bored at like 10 hours, I don't know why. I loved SOTN and Super Metroid as reference, but HK was kinda, weird?
its actually challenging unlike sotn or metroid so you got stuck and gave up.
>challenging
>HK
You must be 18 years or older to post here
Outer Wilds. I played about 11 hours of it visited all the planets. Kept waiting for something interesting but it's a boring walking simulator. Walking simulators should not be considered games. Same with movie games
Holy filtered
Morrowind
Dark Souls 1
Fallout 3
Cruelty squad
>say I don't usually like turn based jrpgs, they're bland, have shit dialogue and lame combat/"""strategy"""
>Ganker tells me to play it anyway
>it's bland, has shit dialogue and lame combat/"""strategy"""
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
>itt good games that we pretend to dislike for (you)s
not Ganker but mainstrim tricked me into buying this soulless piece of shit
