Chad I looked a bit into it, and it seems while parts are in gibberish, there is some Japanese, Swedish, Arabic, and possibly even English in different points. But it’s not coherent
I really like the idea of them just watching all of the battles and playing along, they're not on either side, they are not good or bad, they just play, a bit like Brumm in the troupe
Something tells me that Hollow Knight will end up becoming a cult classic. The lack of traditional media coverage as well as streamers who are covering this game are very few and far between for a game as good as this.
You'll be happy to know Ben Yahatzee Croshaw of Zero Punctuation fame did a review on it. It's made the global mainstream by now. I can't wait for Hollow Knight II.
i bought it yesterday in a sale...for 8€... i am always careful with indigames as i really don't like the majority of them...but damn this game is a masterpiece. this game is really underpriced for what it actually is...
Ah, dunno. The White Palace Theme at 53:39 is nice ... but it's not the same without all the *shhrrrp* ...*swoosh* *clank* *shhrrrp* ... *swoosh* *clank* ... *shhrrrp* *shhrpscht*.
I was trying to hold my expectations in check for the soundtrack. This game looked so perfect visually and gameplay-wise... I figured it had to have a flaw somewhere. Glad to be wrong.
I alays though of Chris Larkin as conductor, not composer (if that's same person). The soundtrack got something of soundtracks of first Divine Divinity game..
It has a flaw... althou minimal in my opinion: You cnat use your mouse during the game but you can use it in the main menu screen. So ya either go with a controller or Full On Keyboard Action like in Dark Souls 1.
I’m so annoyed that I only now found out this game existed. I’ve been playing it for 7ish hours now and the game is amazing. I’m late to the party but damn am I happy to be here.
Atleast you have sonething great to play before silk song launches...(i don't mean there isn't other games worth playing if someone saw it like that.just to confirm.)
Can I have a status report on how much have you played? I finished getting all charms today, I just need to finish the Colosseum of Fools and I got all bosses done and finally will be able to do the pantheons and start my second playthrough.
@@Kelpy_Seal Or yknow just go to the main menu for the actual, hours and minutes. Instead of the Switch's 5 hour aproximate, I've played 48 hours and it says I've played 45.
If you've played Hollow Knight you can listen to the OST blindly and immediately associate almost every track with where it appears in the game. A great example of a good soundtrack and one I find myself revisiting regularly.
Deepnest is the most terrifying place I have ever visited in a videogame. When Nosk started doppelganging me I seriously freaked out, it was the icing on top of an already super unnerving place.
Deepnest really was a place I didnt want to be. Im just a bit disappointed that there was no spider boss you had to defeat before slapping the ghost. I really expected a big spider as a boss.
Two weeks ago I had to put my dog to sleep because of his renal insufficiency and suffering (therapy didnt worked). I was griefing, so I tried distract myself by playing Hollow knight which I bought weeks ago but didnt played it till now. The OST of Resting Grounds and City of Tears hit me like arrow and I was crying in sorrow and old memories of my little dog ... The music in this game is overall outstanding and it helped me to process my loss ...
I get that. My puppy maggie died a few years back. She had gotten pretty old, was time to let her go. Was pretty inconsolable when it happened. Even to go as far as posting drunk, on my group work chat. I feel ya man. Losing a pet is like losing a friend or family member.
1:30 Dirtmouth starts playing Elderbug: Thank you my friend. I will take care of this flower while you're gone, so we can enjoy it together when you return Tears were shed that day...
i hated that part of the game... still hating actually... it was good for the devs that they made a masterpiece with this game... i would have leave the game at that point
I used to think that the undertale soundtrack was really good, deep, and full of emotions. But honestly, Hollow knight's soundtrack is by far way deeper, with a very important touch of melancholia in every music, even in happy ones.
The biggest flan UT's soundtrack is that not many of the atmospheric/overworld soundtracks were really that great. HK, on the other hand, excels in every track.
@@salvale9184 Am I allowed to also recommend Ori and the Blind Forest for more awesomeness? Also I feel you about Undertale's overworld songs. "Ruins" was... excruciating, to say the least.
I love how this game's soundtrack is so distinct. Hornet comes on, and I get excited, fungal wastes comes on, and my eyes narrow in mild annoyance and I hear the mushroom "Nee-Rah!", Nosk and the confusion turned stress when I started freaking out, and just the main theme gets me every time
Most epic: Sealed Vessel Most beautiful: City Of Tears Most calm: Fungal Wastes Most jolly: Dung Defender Most unexpected: Mantis Lords Favourite: Sealed Vessel This is all my opinion.
Most epic: The Radiance Most beautiful: City of Tears Most calm: The White Palace Most jolly: Dung Defender Most unexpected: Mantis Lords Favourite: Hornet's Theme My opinion :3
Yeah. It is a beautiful masterpiece (EASILY the game of the year for me) but it just didn't recieve any major notice. :( It really need more commercials.
God Damn, this game was awesome in virtually every way. I wish I could go back in time and Kickstart this. I'm honestly tempted to buy a second copy. It is worth WAY more than $15.
Charles Jones yeah dude if I had known anything I would have put enough money in to get a ghost character at Least. Dung Beetles are my favorite insect. So mine would have been a much smaller Dung Beetle. That was an Alchemist who liked to live with the Mushroom People.
what i wouldn't give for a sequal where you play as hornet after the events of hollow knight!. i mean free dlc is already a blessing, but having a new story with new lore and new music and EVERYTHING....
Why am I crying on the floor, you ask? 1) Sealed Vessel. 'Nuff said. 2) I tried to play Nosk on piano. 3) I then tried to play Mantis Lords on piano. 4) This soundtrack is too beautiful I swear to all the stars in the sky.
Hjordes Remme *YOU SHOULD PLAY IT, NO REGRET.* I played this game, and i give the game a 673/0.1 1. A beautiful and gorgeous game 2. The first 10 minutes is incredibly sad (doesn't know how to spell lmao) 3. Challenging 4. Original abilities 5. A magical soundtrack 6. go play it 7. go play it 8. go play it 9. go play it 10. go play it 11. go play it 12. go play it 13. go play it 14. go buy it it's gonna be worth it 15. go play it 16. go play it 17. go play it 18. go play it 19. go play it 20. go play it
When I was fighting them, I was like "Oh, too bad I have to kill them, they are so badass and they dont just jump on you when you show up, they wait to be provocked !" And at the end of the battle... I was stunned (like IRL stun, not in game) !
After that challenge I couldn't make myself to harm anyone of the mantis people. One thing is to kill dead husks for Geo and another is to kill proud intelligent creatures.
Each special moment in this game is worth the entire price of the game, all by themselves. Sitting on a bench in Dirtmouth. Being bowed to by the Mantis Lords. When you find out why it's called the City of Tears. When you beat the Trial of the Fool. Each of those moments could be fifteen dollars. There's so much content, that even after 65 hours, I still want to go back for more. Just an incredible video game and a fantastic example of video games as art. This masterpiece deserves a perfect, dunkey sealed, five out of five.
@@mayamelodyegg1607 yeah I was wondering the same thing, is he talking about sitting on the bench when quirrel talks about the blue lake above it? Or is it cause it got sealed off and everyone got infected or starved to death. I would venture the second but I think it was called City of Tears before then
I love the music to Hollow Knight. It's extremely atmospheric and absolutely beautiful, everytime I listen to any one of the soundtracks again, it just reminds me of how much I love playing this game
OMG, someone who agrees w/ me, i was so mad when i found out >:( I personally like cuphead soundtrack but on a scale to 1 to 10 cupheads at 7/10 and hollow knight at 700/10
Well cuphead was also very impressive, and it had a lot of variety and personality with each boss.. also the music was actually played at that speed which is also an achievement. In saying that, i much prefer this soundtrack though.. nothing I have ever heard has matched the tone.
I think my favorite part about this game is its ability to tell its story without ever really telling you. It breaks the story into suggestive pieces and lays them out for you to find along the way. It rewards players curious about the story, without annoying those who are not. By the end of the game, everyone is satisfied. It’s the best kind of storytelling.
*My favorites* What are your favorites? White Palace - (53:39) Hornet - (12:34) Queens Garden - (39:53) City of Tears - (18:46) Green Path - (8:57) Resting Grounds - (37:41)
I was stuck in the Path of Pain for 3 days, and then I died in the last room, now I got a see-through TV screen(for theatrical purposes only, no TV or controller was harmed, only my thumb). Path of Pain's theme(Radiance) changes as you are progressing, it really reflects your own determination and the meaning of the challenge; never lose hope, never give up, even it was for nothing. No pain, no gain, in the end it was totally worth it.
Fantastic OST, seriously! It was one of the things that caught my attention when searching about this game, i believe that says a lot cause how often do we consider music as a decisive factor for choosing games. Dirtmouth theme brought tears to my eyes, and i just barely played the game at that point.
Apparently the answer is YES! I don't know the station number but I imagine it was a college station (I live in the Boston area). It wasn't the only thing the station plays - I was driving home very late & just scanning through the stations to keep me awake & came across it. Just did a quick search & it might be WZBC in Newton.
My favorite game now. So much content, such engaging lore, incredible boss fights and exploration... I'm so happy that it has gotten some of the recognition it deserves. Can't wait for Silksong
the music is a huge part of why this game is so good for me! really helped build the world and atmosphere up! i almost cant imagine this game with any other music!
My friend convinced me to get this game the other day and I am absolutely in love with it. From the gameplay to the music to the art style to the landscapes everything is so beautiful.
Really liked the following Tracks: 1.) [0:00] Enter Hallownest 6.) [12:34] Hornet 9.) [18:46] City of Tears (Ft. Amelia Jones) 16.) [39:53] Queen’s Gardens 17.) [41:40] The White Lady 23.) [53:39] White Palace 24.) [57:56] Sealed Vessel 26.) [1:06:00] Hollow Knight
There has been a year and a half since I first played this game, and listening to this music revives the feeling of the game. it's weird, I don't even remember an specific part of my gameplay… I just, "feel" the game when I listen to this music. Damn, this game was so fun and frustrating and beatiful… I love it.
53:40 This soundtrack is just amazing, everything about this game just reflects the passion and love of the developers.. I've always thought a game's music said a lot about the quality of the game, and I was right. It just gives you a sense of belonging and nostalgia after you play through all the content, leaving you with emptiness... It reminds me of the first time I beat Dark Souls, and watched as the credits rolled. Bravo Team Cherry.
Dude, when just listening to the soundtrack of HK like this, i'm legit fighting back tears. :') Each and every song is a masterpiece in and of it's own, but the added emotional value of having actually played through the whole game + the music is the limit breaker for those waterworks, man.
1:00:12 When the Hollow Knight is crawling after you desperately trying to attack and you can just lazily dodge it. When a game can make you feel pity for the final boss you know it's doing something right.
Problem with that statement, I feel, is that the term 'metroidvania' implies you are going to get abilities to help you progress through and access new areas. In Souls, you don't really do that, you just level up, get better mechanics and gear as you play, and beat bosses with enough persistence. Of course, I could be wrong about that.
You do get literal keys that serve to unlock zones and leveling/gearing up still earns you abilities that help you progress even if combat is the main challengs.
@@SilentSputnik not necessarily. You can look at games like Unepic that are certainly Metroidvanias but have literally zero movement options. It's not about movement itself anyway, just about gradual unlocking of areas. Even in Metroid most of the upgrades were only useful to unlock specific doors and close to useless otherwise.
If you listen to Larkin's Other music, it's very different. He mentioned something about it being very unique to produce music for a game genre based off the joy of world discovery. I've always wanted to compose video game music, but I've never quite found the genre that my style worked off of. This Soundtrack encapsulates the theme of Hollow Knight Perfectly, and is also quite impressive how many details went into the music itself (for instance, almost the entire soundtrack is in C major or C minor. The few pieces that break this are the "important" pieces like Sealed Vessel).
Sealed Vessel is the most epic song in history of videogames. It shows a tragedy, and a choise... Love Hollow Knight forever. A real orchestra of videogames.
Just picked up this game, and it's absolutely amazing. The atmosphere and the music and the characters and literately everything is absolutely beautiful. It's quite challenging but it really makes me feel accomplished when I do achieve something.
GldnMnky Idk what ur talking about with darksouls being old. I'm 13 and it's my fav series. On that subject tho, both Hollow Knight and DarkSouls ost are brilliant, although nothing beats artorias. Still gotta play castlevania
I don't know how late I am to this fandom, but recently I started playing Hollow Knight, and it was AWESOME!! I haven't even gotten to Hornet yet, but I've watched other people play it. It's a masterpiece. A beautiful masterpiece.
Resting Grounds was so simple and short yet it stirred so much in me. It's always a trip getting back into real life after you get so into a game like this. I'm gonna be feeling 'hollow' myself when I finally finish beating this game, masterpieces like this do not come around very often.
I just started my journey through this game an I could tell I already had an attatchment to it via the music. Dinner time for now so I am cooking while listening to the ost. Im excited to experience this.
This game's music is so good! It's also really interesting to look through the comments and see what other people's favorite songs are. Personally, i really like Greenpath And Crystal Peak.
Sealed vessel is so genius we all knew what had happened to the hollow knight as soon as 1:00:10 hit... had dudes crying in the 'last' boss fight instead of trying to kill the boss....

It simply needs more exposure.

In France, we have got MisterMV.
Hérisson Siffleur i watched MisterMV's The End Is Nigh gameplay, but i didn't knew he played Hollow Knight! *boi*
like the switch controls ;P
What I wouldn't give to see this this played live by an orchestra. I got to see something like that.
what i wouldn't give for a sequal where you play as hornet after the events of hollow knight!. i mean free dlc is already a blessing, but having a new story with new lore and new music and EVERYTHING....
Not sure if you know this, but after the 3rd, and final, free DLC they're gonna make a paid Hornet DLC.

1) Sealed Vessel. 'Nuff said.
2) I tried to play Nosk on piano.
3) I then tried to play Mantis Lords on piano.
4) This soundtrack is too beautiful I swear to all the stars in the sky.
The greatest metroidvania ever made
I wouldn't say the greatest as I haven't played that many metroidvanias, but I definitely agree that this is a phenomenally good game.
Excluding classics like Super Metroid, yeah I agree. A phenomenal game!
@@jamez62982 hollow knight is better than metroid imo
@@theasianmixer-7249 I'm there with you as an old school metroidvania vet but this deserves to be in the pantheon of the all timers.

can you believe that ori and the will of wisps and hollow knight: silksong are coming out? unexpected sequels to my favorite games
Mantis Lords fight, oh boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I felt like such a beast doing that fight with the music in the background
When I was fighting them, I was like "Oh, too bad I have to kill them, they are so badass and they dont just jump on you when you show up, they wait to be provocked !" And at the end of the battle... I was stunned (like IRL stun, not in game) !
After that challenge I couldn't make myself to harm anyone of the mantis people. One thing is to kill dead husks for Geo and another is to kill proud intelligent creatures.
I love the game but those god damn mantises!
Lunar Guard well if try to deepnest, they will close the door in front of you, so they provoking you as first
Probably one of the best goddamn soundtracks in the history of video games
Just wait till silksong. There giving larkin an ENTIRE ORCHESTRA TO WORK WITH. We gonna have a party down in the abyss tonight.
other than hyper light drifter
UNDERSTATEMENT!!
Each special moment in this game is worth the entire price of the game, all by themselves. Sitting on a bench in Dirtmouth. Being bowed to by the Mantis Lords. When you find out why it's called the City of Tears. When you beat the Trial of the Fool. Each of those moments could be fifteen dollars. There's so much content, that even after 65 hours, I still want to go back for more. Just an incredible video game and a fantastic example of video games as art. This masterpiece deserves a perfect, dunkey sealed, five out of five.
This is hands down my favorite game! And I’ve played LOADS of games
My peabrain forgot, why's it called the city of tears again??
@@mayamelodyegg1607 yeah I was wondering the same thing, is he talking about sitting on the bench when quirrel talks about the blue lake above it? Or is it cause it got sealed off and everyone got infected or starved to death. I would venture the second but I think it was called City of Tears before then
Crystal peak is so good with that bass
agree
I love the music to Hollow Knight. It's extremely atmospheric and absolutely beautiful, everytime I listen to any one of the soundtracks again, it just reminds me of how much I love playing this game
I expected my homework to take at least an hour.
I ended up finishing it by the time Fungal Wastes was ending.

mobile users cant click on the description links for some reason.
Thank you ;-;
THX~! XD
My hearth breaks with Soul Sanctum every time. Holy molly what a good piece....
Arvangath VGM I know something about it I was looking for a comment about it and I’m so glad I’m not the only one who feels that way ❤️
So ominous and chilling
i remeber i went there a bit too fast and got destroyed XD
ayyy fellow soul sanctum lovers! the organ music makes it terrifying, it's amazing
Absolute joke that Cuphead won the vote for a better soundtrack than this. Even NecroDancer, another nominee!
OMG, someone who agrees w/ me, i was so mad when i found out >:(
I personally like cuphead soundtrack but on a scale to 1 to 10 cupheads at 7/10 and hollow knight at 700/10
Cuphead has a fantastic gameplay and i love both games but you just cant approach me and tell me that cuphead has a better soundtrack
Well cuphead was also very impressive, and it had a lot of variety and personality with each boss.. also the music was actually played at that speed which is also an achievement. In saying that, i much prefer this soundtrack though.. nothing I have ever heard has matched the tone.
All 3 are 10/10, only one can win. Just the way it is.
Gacku I mean, the only problem I had was that Hollow Knight wasn't even NOMINATED
That last track. Wow. Absolutely stunning.
Ironically last track is the first song you hear.
This soundtrack is truly gorgeous
Understatement!!
Ok lets be real. The Dung defenders theme sounds like he has such a great time fighting you
he truly is
Who knew the happiest part of the game would be fighting a man who lives in his own... well you know what
And you dont kill him!
@@goldenbanana9468 i think dung beetles use poop of other animal,not their own
I love how each area theme has a more intense part that it can fade to whenever you take on one of the really difficult enemies.
[1:03:41] Are U Git Gud enough?
Hollow knight is easily one of my favourite games of all time and I still havent fucking beaten radiance ._.
I think my favorite part about this game is its ability to tell its story without ever really telling you. It breaks the story into suggestive pieces and lays them out for you to find along the way. It rewards players curious about the story, without annoying those who are not. By the end of the game, everyone is satisfied. It’s the best kind of storytelling.
Ratio
Does anyone have the OST for when near the Shade? Its so delightfully creepy.
@@shade3524 Wait a minute...
Or uhh... Die in game with Void Heart and go to the place you died?
@@goddessdeedeebubblesofimag7789 or the non distorted one in the white palace
I've no idea what I'm talking about that was an old comment
*My favorites* What are your favorites?
White Palace - (53:39)
Hornet - (12:34)
Queens Garden - (39:53)
City of Tears - (18:46)
Green Path - (8:57)
Resting Grounds - (37:41)
I personally really enjoy the main theme, Dirtmouth theme, mantis lords, greenpath and hornet
@@crispedhades9907 Those first three bring back memories when I was playing the game!
ALL OF THEM.
I was stuck in the Path of Pain for 3 days, and then I died in the last room, now I got a see-through TV screen(for theatrical purposes only, no TV or controller was harmed, only my thumb).
Path of Pain's theme(Radiance) changes as you are progressing, it really reflects your own determination and the meaning of the challenge; never lose hope, never give up, even it was for nothing.
No pain, no gain, in the end it was totally worth it.
Note: Sealed Vessel's slow part plays during the Path of Pain, and not Radiance
You know what? I STILL feel like this game hasn’t been given it’s fair share of praise, even after all this time. That’s how good it is.
I agree, I never heard about this *once*
I only saw it on gamepass a week ago, loved it
Fantastic OST, seriously! It was one of the things that caught my attention when searching about this game, i believe that says a lot cause how often do we consider music as a decisive factor for choosing games. Dirtmouth theme brought tears to my eyes, and i just barely played the game at that point.
Greenpath is definetly my favorite area. Very serene, the leaf-walking animation is super satisfiying and the music is just beautiful.
the soundtrack most definitely drew me in and kept me there for this game. beautiful
I haven't played video games since the 80s - I was listening to a radio station last night that played this. GORGEOUS!!!!
There are stations that play video game music?
Apparently the answer is YES! I don't know the station number but I imagine it was a college station (I live in the Boston area). It wasn't the only thing the station plays - I was driving home very late & just scanning through the stations to keep me awake & came across it. Just did a quick search & it might be WZBC in Newton.
Judy Maggs and you fell asleep :') that soundtrack could not keep you awake it's so relaxing ( also sorry for my bad english)
What station actually plays good music?
Sorry pal, but I don't believe it.
You're missing out on videogames bud!
Something I love about the area themes is that they get tense when you're fighting a strong enemy. It's a really good way to warn the player.
I've completed hollow knight yesterday. I feel so empty now :s
you mean, hollow?
Patrick Bonczyk I was literally thinking these exact words but I was 2 months late
Don't worry theirs going to be a second game! :)
@@DGamingSh Wait, for real?
@@thamonito I may be a bit late but yeah. the "hornet dlc" is actually a full new game called silksong
My favorite game now. So much content, such engaging lore, incredible boss fights and exploration... I'm so happy that it has gotten some of the recognition it deserves. Can't wait for Silksong
I love how the Broken Vessel music sounds. It’s like a more intensely mixed version of the final track, and I LOOOVE it
47:20 Me on a test for which I didn't study
Ironically I reached that time in the video as I began rushing my 5000 word essay, it helped I guess
4 Mind Maps, a Chinese essay and an English Comprehension.
Let's do this thing.
Mafius I believe you're referring to 37:40
I didn't know about the game. Not even a minute passed and I'm in love with the soundtrack and I'm searching to buy this game.
DUUUUDE fighting again Nosk was only terrifying and epic with this music
the music is a huge part of why this game is so good for me! really helped build the world and atmosphere up! i almost cant imagine this game with any other music!
My friend convinced me to get this game the other day and I am absolutely in love with it. From the gameplay to the music to the art style to the landscapes everything is so beautiful.
The last track... Just wow...
So emotional...
dark souls casttlevania buckethead?
He didn't say its more emotional than those piss in a wooden spoon.
What a beast of a sountrack. One of the best for sure. A pleasure to the ears
I played Hollow Knight for the first time yesterday, and I fell in love with it immediately :D
They really nailed this one
Lol
XD
I see what you did there
Really liked the following Tracks:
1.) [0:00] Enter Hallownest
6.) [12:34] Hornet
9.) [18:46] City of Tears (Ft. Amelia Jones)
16.) [39:53] Queen’s Gardens
17.) [41:40] The White Lady
23.) [53:39] White Palace
24.) [57:56] Sealed Vessel
26.) [1:06:00] Hollow Knight
There has been a year and a half since I first played this game, and listening to this music revives the feeling of the game. it's weird, I don't even remember an specific part of my gameplay… I just, "feel" the game when I listen to this music. Damn, this game was so fun and frustrating and beatiful… I love it.
53:40 This soundtrack is just amazing, everything about this game just reflects the passion and love of the developers..
I've always thought a game's music said a lot about the quality of the game, and I was right. It just gives you a sense of belonging and nostalgia after you play through all the content, leaving you with emptiness... It reminds me of the first time I beat Dark Souls, and watched as the credits rolled.
Bravo Team Cherry.
My son plays this game, and while looking at a couple of game play videos, we saw this soundtrack one. OMG....stunning music!
Dude, when just listening to the soundtrack of HK like this, i'm legit fighting back tears. :')
Each and every song is a masterpiece in and of it's own, but the added emotional value of having actually played through the whole game + the music is the limit breaker for those waterworks, man.
1:00:12 When the Hollow Knight is crawling after you desperately trying to attack and you can just lazily dodge it. When a game can make you feel pity for the final boss you know it's doing something right.
you ARE talking about the Hollow Knight, right? No other final bosses?
I love how the Greenpath song picks up by the end and completely transforms into a hype song from a chill melody.
Queens gardens...it makes me want to dash through mid air, like I'm trying to get somewhere quickly. And it's serene...I can't explain it
When somebody randomly comments on your comment of a video after a year
@@Vendetta_Fallen when someone does literary the same but another year later
@@hornet2568 when someone does literally the same thing but again another year later
How the heck was this game made by 4 people it’s masterful
If Metroid-Souls-Vania is indeed a thing, Hollow Knight just became the GOLD standard...
Souls are basically just 3d metroidvania so this part is absolutely unnecessary.
Problem with that statement, I feel, is that the term 'metroidvania' implies you are going to get abilities to help you progress through and access new areas. In Souls, you don't really do that, you just level up, get better mechanics and gear as you play, and beat bosses with enough persistence. Of course, I could be wrong about that.
You do get literal keys that serve to unlock zones and leveling/gearing up still earns you abilities that help you progress even if combat is the main challengs.
@@Spellweaver5 Certainly not a metroidvania. You get radically different movement options in those.
@@SilentSputnik not necessarily. You can look at games like Unepic that are certainly Metroidvanias but have literally zero movement options. It's not about movement itself anyway, just about gradual unlocking of areas. Even in Metroid most of the upgrades were only useful to unlock specific doors and close to useless otherwise.
The whole soundtrack is just amazing but Dung Defender is my favourite, sounds so adventurous, happy and epic at the same time :D
The Sealed Vessel track is the most powerful to me: The moment when it changes at 1:00:07 especially
If you listen to Larkin's Other music, it's very different. He mentioned something about it being very unique to produce music for a game genre based off the joy of world discovery. I've always wanted to compose video game music, but I've never quite found the genre that my style worked off of. This Soundtrack encapsulates the theme of Hollow Knight Perfectly, and is also quite impressive how many details went into the music itself (for instance, almost the entire soundtrack is in C major or C minor. The few pieces that break this are the "important" pieces like Sealed Vessel).
One of the best soundtracks in gaming history.
I'm quite fond of 17:00 myself!
Sealed Vessel is the most epic song in history of videogames. It shows a tragedy, and a choise... Love Hollow Knight forever. A real orchestra of videogames.
35:25 Soul Master
Love u So much
Fuck that guy
Reminds me Child of Light OST a lot!
oo ye
I wouldn't have thought of that, but yeah, it kinda does.
i never realized how empty Dung Defender sounds like without "Doma, Doma! domadomADOMA!!"
Just picked up this game, and it's absolutely amazing. The atmosphere and the music and the characters and literately everything is absolutely beautiful. It's quite challenging but it really makes me feel accomplished when I do achieve something.
This game just destroyed my expectations limits over and over! One of the years very finest!
A true indie achievement! :)
I can't stop playing this or listening to this soundtrack. I don't know what I'll do with my life after I'm done.
Dude the final boss soundtrack is WONDERFULL it is amazing i never listened something more wonderfull than that...
dark souls castlevania?
Sergio Alejandro G.R Some people are too young.
GldnMnky Idk what ur talking about with darksouls being old. I'm 13 and it's my fav series. On that subject tho, both Hollow Knight and DarkSouls ost are brilliant, although nothing beats artorias. Still gotta play castlevania
Which final boss, radiance or “the hollow knight?”
@@hiphyro Hollow Knight boss ost is beautiful and full of emotion. The Radiance ost is the most amazing boss music I've heard in a long time
I don't know how late I am to this fandom, but recently I started playing Hollow Knight, and it was AWESOME!! I haven't even gotten to Hornet yet, but I've watched other people play it. It's a masterpiece. A beautiful masterpiece.
Resting Grounds was so simple and short yet it stirred so much in me. It's always a trip getting back into real life after you get so into a game like this. I'm gonna be feeling 'hollow' myself when I finally finish beating this game, masterpieces like this do not come around very often.
Very true. I'm pretty sure we are not gonna see another this good game in awhile.
17:00 My body just exploded with emotions and excitement when I heard the violin. SO GOOD!
Love the OST and the game. A really "Must Have" for all Metroidvania lovers.
The last 3 minutes of Sealed Vessel are sublime
I just started my journey through this game an I could tell I already had an attatchment to it via the music. Dinner time for now so I am cooking while listening to the ost. Im excited to experience this.
This game's music is so good! It's also really interesting to look through the comments and see what other people's favorite songs are. Personally, i really like Greenpath And Crystal Peak.
Sealed vessel is so genius we all knew what had happened to the hollow knight as soon as 1:00:10 hit... had dudes crying in the 'last' boss fight instead of trying to kill the boss....
When I first reached this part, I just sat my controller down and nearly cried, this game is such a flood of emotions. So many good memories :)
Thx for upload the sneak peak, cannot wait until the 24 to play the game, now i can try it :P
