Sippin' Hot Cocoa That’s not true. Fortnite required a lot of crunch to design its map, aesthetic, balancing and even porting to different platforms and optimizing the engine for it all and allowing cross platform play and constantly adding content to the game. Hollow Knight in comparison took a fraction of the resources to design. Secondly, why is Fortnite a bad game? Because a game with a lot of polish and depth in combat and building is not bad
Let me explain. There is only so much time in a day. We constantly have to find shortcuts to become quicker at doing tasks. This allows us to complete more. Let's say someone wants to spend 60 minutes deciding what game to buy. And let's say that on average it takes 4 minutes to watch a video review, or 8 minutes to read one. Written reviews tend to be the most thorough, so they are helpful. While at the same time, watching one does allow you to actually get a glimpse of what the gameplay is like. In 60 minutes, you could watch 5 reviews and read 5 reviews. If you watch and read one review for each game, you could get information on 5 games in that hour. However, you'd only be getting one or two opinions on each game you look up. You could read/watch more for each game, but then you'd get information on fewer games instead. Compare this to looking at review scores. It talks a minute to look at a score. And, even more efficiently, it only takes a minute or two to see a chart of reviews from dozens of reviewers about a game. You could look up 30 games in an hour, and be getting the overall opinions from a huge number of people. Ideally you'd use both. The numbers help get initial attention. Then, the more in-depth reviews tell you more about if you'd actually like the game or not. The same applies to things like shopping online. When browsing Amazon, you'll likely start by looking at the thumbnail, price, and average review score to find your possible options. Once you narrow it down to one or a few items, then you tend to look at the written customer reviews. It is easy to jump on the bandwagon of hating the review score. We've all played games that got 6's or 7's that we loved. It hurts when people ridicule those games, or the people who play them. Even though most people haven't touched the game, and instead just looked at the scores. But review scores aren't just for people to be lazy. It is the inverse of the written reviews. It allows you to get a shallow opinion from a lot of people.
Shoujikoa, I think this is an amazing game don’t get me wrong, but using a scale and giving something a ten will spark a lot of controversy, I mean look at BOTW, it is criticized for getting a ten by everyone and so they look at lots of flaws in the game, and it leads to entirely different views on the game and lots of angry people (not saying that is you) saying “why is this game a ten just like this other one with less flaws” and if it got a ten I bet when hollow knight 2 comes out everyone would be mad ;)
I think there are some small issues such as a slow starting pace that some people just don’t like. There’s also the actual challenge of it, but that’s pretty much a staple for the genre.
Charles Burrows I think the places you go before getting the dash and stuff was designed for that because to me it didn’t seem slow nor boring. I never saw that disappearing projectile bug from myself or anyone or even complained about so you probably just got hit before the animation of it ran out or something. And yeah although Hollow Knight is my favorite of all time it still has its flaws. There are pretty few of them and they are minor at most though, that is why it is my favorite. And I think here 10/10 just means masterpiece not perfect since no game is truly perfect so I would say it deserves an 10 here
I'm not surprised Cuphead was more popular, as Microsoft was pushing that game HARD for years, just like Ori. But I'm glad to see Hollow Knight got a lot of love as well(already 250K sold on Switch, 1 million on PC)
See guys this is why they made 9.(1-9) in score and never a 10/10 because of personal opinions. But in this case i like to say hollow knight doesnt count for this. Hollow knight is ACTUAL 10/10 game
In case you hear about this game for the first time, it's important that you know that it's literally impossible to regret buying this game. This is pretty much as close as a game can get to being a 10/10 experience, nevermind IGN's score, they are pretty random in terms of grading. The fact that it's only 15 € (and 9.9€ right now because of a discount) and the developers have released 2 free content updates so far and soon they'll release another one makes it so that it's worth buying the game even if you'll never play it, because it's for a good cause. Don't get me wrong however, Hollow Knight is quite the masterpiece anyway.
3 updates so far if you count the latest one Lifeblood. It's a lot of system changes and map additions but it does add 1 new boss that should've been in the base game.
The game is definitely not for everyone. Being a metroidvania, this game can be brutal for less experienced players. Besides that, I do agree that the amount content they offer for the price is a steal.
I absolutely LOVE this game. The music is beautiful. The art is gorgeous. It's got a dark, sad story to it. It's challenging. What is not to love about this game???? One of my all time favorites.
100% this game a few months ago, never regretted the 45 hours I spent looking through every cave and every area of the map. One of my top 5 games of all time, the rewarding sense of defeating a boss or getting an upgrade to go to the area you’ve always wanted to explore. For me this game is a must have
Diepvries have you played the game? If have more than 2 hours you would understand that its not repetive at all. Also, they released 3 free dlcs after the launch, improving the game and adding many new bosses. If you go for the bad ending, the game is about 20 hours, if you go for the true ending, you will easily get 40+ hours without adding any dlc content. Is this not underpriced?
AlperFlash hmmm... celeste is a great game but first of all its pretty short. Hollow knight has hours and hours of gameplay. Also i like more hollow knights amazing lore. Celeste is a great game but... i don't think its enough to beat hollow knight.
Hollow knight* The game is not underrated,in fact it has overwhelmingly good reviews on steam. It is just not that well known but now that it is on switch it is gonna become at least somewhat more whell known
If you have nothing to complain about. And sing nothing but high praises, give the game a 10. What’s holding this game back from being perfect. IGN does this a lot, they’ll say one thing but the score doesnt reflect that. “There’s a little something in it for everybody” give the game the 10 it deserves
I just got this game for free fros PS+, and I am truly addicted, its so fun to explore brand new tunnels, aquire awesome abilites, and being able to customize your combat build to your liking, the boss fights are fairly difficult, and the enemys you encounter all have unique ways of attacking which make you have to change how you fight every time, this game is a 10/10 for me, and I would easily recommend this to anyone who likes these types of games
This game is a masterpiece it deserves a 11/10 i have encountered zero flaws while replaying the game 3 times This game is just amazing I can't wait for silksong
My friend said this game looks boring, its art style is bad and that it blends in withother indie games and that it looks like it stole from cuphead. Let's just say were not friends anymore.
saiyangodbroly26 It's certainly getting much more love now that it's on the switch. it's even on the top of the charts in the eshop. It may get awards this year. Ya don't need an IGN review to have a game be noticed.
Hopefully with the Switch release a lot more people will experience this masterpiece and the devs will receive the praise they deserve. I picked this gem on release and even then I said to myself "It's still February, but I'm calling it my GOTY" and by the end of the year it remained the winner among dozens of triple A games, but remained under the radar of most gaming websites and channels, which was a shame.
I just bought this game on sale from PSN for like $7. Had never heard of it, got it for something simple to play while i waited for RE2 to drop. Needless to say, I had no idea what i was getting into when I started. I quickly got addicted to it. I've been playing it nonstop for a few weeks, and it feels like I've barely scratched the surface. Its a masterpiece.
I was just thinking of buying hollow knight but I need a review first to find out if it's worth my money and then a few minutes later this video appeared this must be a calling
Path of pain ost is really good too : ) i can't beat it though lol . . . when i saw some video with 0 hit in that section i'm like "is he even human?" haha . .
DevilLullaby I think Path of Pain’s OST is the same with Sealed Vessel’s OST. It is really good, of course. I have tried it for like two hours, and then i realized it is much worse than the White Palace, so i gave up on that. Watched the cut scene on RUclips though lol.
@@zackydev nah, it was made by the sane gang. The gang that appreciates quality over extra skins to waste money on while you play the same gamemodes that have been in other games for maaaanny years. We appreciate an original, stupidly cheap, amazing story with free expansions. You dont need to be a genius to know why hollow knight is amazing.
Well, this is the first time I agree with this satire statement, in a good way too. It embodies everything good about Dark Souls, let's put it like that.
it's a game I've played only once so far and I can safely say it is one of my favorite games of all time. beautifully done and very challenging for a long time gamer
This and hyperlight drifter are some of the best games I've played in a long time. Both get a 10/10 from me. The gameplay mechanics and controls are perfectly smooth in both these games. There's nothing in these game that feels over the top difficult. Some parts can be challenging, yes, but doable. That's how much confidence the controls give you.
I really dunno how to explain about this game... It gives mix feeling, never a game gives this kind of feeling, u keep dying but u are satisfy cause u learn how to avoid those death, u grind geo, u hunt for charms and other artifact, u find monster... Its amazing
Bought this last night for my newly acquired Switch and played for 15 minutes this morning. I'm already hooked! The game is gorgeous, gameplay is crisp. Best indie game I've played since Ori so far. It is right at home on the Switch!
Damn I just went to read negative reviews about the game and some couldn’t make me stop laughing. The people were complaining about back tracking, the one hit combat system, enemies were too hard, they die too much, dumb lore, and they claim that the map system confuses them as well. Honestly though, I know this game isn’t for everyone but it appeals to the majority including myself. The game is like that because that’s the way the game is meant to be. It’s great overall. Just not for noob players. If you can beat cuphead you’ll be fine here.
I Buy a lot of games. But almost Never Finish One. Finished Hollow knight on pc and getting it on switch soon. Masterpiece ist not even Close to this game. The music the Gameplay the Story. 11 out of 10. Thanks for this Diamond.
Hansen Wind They said on gamescoop that when they highly rate a indie they get more views by putting the score out there. A lot of people wouldn't necessarily click on this video if they didn't know it was pure solid gold. I believe they did it for utter trash games too.
Hollow knight is so fun. It gives me break from modern warfare, and not only that it’s one of those games where the only penalty of dying is losing your money. Everything else makes you know more about the game/fights/bosses you will encounter. I highly recommend it for people who just want a break from FPS’s and go into a world of peace. It’s free for ps+ members on PS4.
As someone who is addicted to fortnite but prefers other games (2 of my favs being hollow knight and Little Nightmares 1/2) why in the living hell would you rate this LOWER THAN FORTNITE?!?!!?
@@neko6135 Because 9/10 is also amazing, nearly flawless and having one (half!) point more or less difference is nothing special. People need to accept that their 10/10 games (I also got some on my mind) are not 10/10 for everyone.
To this day I still don’t understand how this isn’t a 10 as it’s one of if not the best games ever made and it’s only €15! And even less if you get it during a sale. And there is at least 50-70 hours of pure amazing content with little to no filler in it. Everyone needs to buy this game.
When people say that "They put Doom on every console", I dont really see that. What I do see is that they keep porting Symphony of the Night to every console.
For anyone complaining about the game being boring at the beginning, just know that you’ve only experienced about 1% of the entire game. The game is trying to ease you into its mechanics. Of course the bosses and enemies aren’t that complex or challenging, you’ve barley played any of the game. The difficulty, and overall quality of the game ramps up drastically. At least play up until you beat the Mantis lords and if your still not enjoying the game, then that’s fair.
@@ark3788 I've finished the game, and I can assure you that the title is up to interpretation. It could be referring to _the_ Hollow Knight, or to the fact that you are like the Hollow Knight, and hence hollow. The player character is know canonically called the Knight since fans have chosen that name, so the developers gave it their stamp of approval. Plus the experience is of a character _like_ a bug, not an actual bug in canon lore.
Three things that keep me awake at knight:
1. Death
2. Taxes
3. The fact that Fortnite has a higher score than Hollow Knight

My friend said this game looks boring, its art style is bad and that it blends in withother indie games and that it looks like it stole from cuphead. Let's just say were not friends anymore.
Now thats a masterpiece for your Wallet.
Emilj0612 Hello spaghetti and meatballs
-Dunkey
I'll have the spaghetti and meatballs with nuts in them babeeee
Mastahpeece
But its not quite a knack level masterpiece
*9.4, Too Much Awesomeness*
It’s a 10. One of the best games I’ve ever played.
Maybe if you had actually given this game the attention it deserved last year it would have won some the awards it deserved.
saiyangodbroly26 It's certainly getting much more love now that it's on the switch. it's even on the top of the charts in the eshop. It may get awards this year. Ya don't need an IGN review to have a game be noticed.
we did it boys. hollow knight is better than cyberpunk 2077
Hopefully with the Switch release a lot more people will experience this masterpiece and the devs will receive the praise they deserve. I picked this gem on release and even then I said to myself "It's still February, but I'm calling it my GOTY" and by the end of the year it remained the winner among dozens of triple A games, but remained under the radar of most gaming websites and channels, which was a shame.
It's number one on the Switch Eshop as of the moment. It definitely is getting some attention.
I am getting ps4 soon and thought that i have to get this and now and then i heard it is just for computer and switch...
Kova4a it's the best selling game in june, and 3rd overall
I just bought this game on sale from PSN for like $7. Had never heard of it, got it for something simple to play while i waited for RE2 to drop. Needless to say, I had no idea what i was getting into when I started. I quickly got addicted to it. I've been playing it nonstop for a few weeks, and it feels like I've barely scratched the surface. Its a masterpiece.
Gives a game a high score with praise. And they still complain about your opinion
Genuinely one of the greatest games of all time.
U guys love overhyping the most generic stuff ever
@@Nwy9r if u haven't played it just say it this game is flawless its truly one of the greatest games of all time
@@Nwy9rif hollow knight is generic then every game ever made is generic
I've been playing this game on my switch so much recently and I absolutely love it. Can't wait to see what Team Cherry does next.
Makes sense, the game doesn't have any negative point but I still won't give it a 10/10
The reason why it took so long was that you wanted to complete the entire game, correct?
The Shameful I think it’s because the switch version came out recently.
I was just thinking of buying hollow knight but I need a review first to find out if it's worth my money and then a few minutes later this video appeared this must be a calling
Really good game + very challenging + 3 free DLC with that price. You won't regret this : ) It took me at least 30+ hrs. just to get 100 % and more.
Really great music too :D ( final boss theme is my favorite one).
Troupe Master Grim’s OST is my favorite, but there are no bad OSTs in Hollow Knight.
Path of pain ost is really good too : ) i can't beat it though lol . . . when i saw some video with 0 hit in that section i'm like "is he even human?" haha . .
DevilLullaby I think Path of Pain’s OST is the same with Sealed Vessel’s OST. It is really good, of course. I have tried it for like two hours, and then i realized it is much worse than the White Palace, so i gave up on that. Watched the cut scene on RUclips though lol.
Buying hollow knight for $5 has to be the best deal of my life.
Lmao people are mad that it got a 9.4, which is an AMAZING game. Some people need to relax.
but its flippin hollow knight should get 100/1
people are more mad that it has a lower rating than fortnite
Imagine rating fortnite higher than Hollow knight
@The muffin man so whose gonna tell him?
@@original5677 lol
@The muffin man this post was made by fortnite hater gang
@@zackydev nah, it was made by the sane gang. The gang that appreciates quality over extra skins to waste money on while you play the same gamemodes that have been in other games for maaaanny years. We appreciate an original, stupidly cheap, amazing story with free expansions. You dont need to be a genius to know why hollow knight is amazing.
@@mustachecrab9669 ok.
I have been waiting for this review... oh wait this is IGN. Pauly, bring up Dunkey's review video.
Adrian X Hollow Knight is pretty much just Dark Souls.
Pauly, get the boulder.
Jan Nemček I want to believe this isn't satire even though it clearly is
Bender not from Futurama check the videogamedunkey's Best od 2017 video ;-)
Well, this is the first time I agree with this satire statement, in a good way too.
It embodies everything good about Dark Souls, let's put it like that.
it's a game I've played only once so far and I can safely say it is one of my favorite games of all time. beautifully done and very challenging for a long time gamer
Well deserved, this game's a masterpiece
This and hyperlight drifter are some of the best games I've played in a long time. Both get a 10/10 from me. The gameplay mechanics and controls are perfectly smooth in both these games. There's nothing in these game that feels over the top difficult. Some parts can be challenging, yes, but doable. That's how much confidence the controls give you.
Been a gamer since 1997. This one is one of my favorites. Legit masterpiece!
" WhO's hErE fOr tHe pS+? "
This is now in my top 5 games of all time. Absolutely amazing soundtrack and the game is incredibly polished.
Jeremy Siegel, what are the other 4?
+1, What are the other 4?
Pretty sure portal 2 would be in top 4
I really dunno how to explain about this game... It gives mix feeling, never a game gives this kind of feeling, u keep dying but u are satisfy cause u learn how to avoid those death, u grind geo, u hunt for charms and other artifact, u find monster... Its amazing
Why does this guy not review more stuff? He could have his own channel. He makes better content than most other ign people.
9.4/10.... Come on. It's easily a 10/10. According to me, there's only 1 game that's better than Hollow Knight, it's Breath of the Wild.
yeah hollow knight although fun just cant keep me playing for as long as BOTW
An amazing 1 YEAR (FEB 2017) old game that finally gets reviewed because now it's on Switch. Nice
nope, this game is one year old.
One year.
Better? lol
Bought this last night for my newly acquired Switch and played for 15 minutes this morning. I'm already hooked!
The game is gorgeous, gameplay is crisp. Best indie game I've played since Ori so far.
It is right at home on the Switch!
@Doobs I'm 13 hours in and feels like I barely scratched the surface :P
Damn I just went to read negative reviews about the game and some couldn’t make me stop laughing. The people were complaining about back tracking, the one hit combat system, enemies were too hard, they die too much, dumb lore, and they claim that the map system confuses them as well. Honestly though, I know this game isn’t for everyone but it appeals to the majority including myself. The game is like that because that’s the way the game is meant to be. It’s great overall. Just not for noob players. If you can beat cuphead you’ll be fine here.
they are just nitpickers or noobs or nitpickers and noobs
"Perfect game, no flaws. The Devs didn't give us any money. 9.4/10"
-IGN
They actually ranked this game a tad bit low.
@@jonahclements9549 exactly lol, read the comment again
Whose checking this out because the game will be free for PS Plus members in November?
Quit begging for likes, it's PATHETIC!
I Buy a lot of games. But almost Never Finish One. Finished Hollow knight on pc and getting it on switch soon. Masterpiece ist not even Close to this game. The music the Gameplay the Story. 11 out of 10. Thanks for this Diamond.
Dennyo von Matterhorn what makes it a masterpiece? I can’t wait to try it
@@erko78 everything
Finally, this game needs more exposure, it’s such a fantastic game!
Gamepass will do, I just downloaded it.
9.4
"Not enough water"
😋
Thanks for putting the score on the thumbnail, makes things much easier
"Small effects like extending your attack distance or gathering more soul." Mark of pride and soul catcher are two of the best charms in the game. WTF
Quick slash is the best, i could not defeat the radiance without it
Never said they were bad, just they were small changes
After over a year, this game finally gets the recognition it deserves.
The review only came out now because the guy only just completed the game having played since launch
You made a mistake.
You put dot between 9 and 4.
Wait, I repeir it...
Ok, everything is ok 94/10 :D
You made a mistake.
You said repeir.
Wait, I repeir it...
Ok, everything is ok, Repair.
This game deserves a 10 XD
Why would you put the score on the thumbnail lmao
Hansen Wind They said on gamescoop that when they highly rate a indie they get more views by putting the score out there. A lot of people wouldn't necessarily click on this video if they didn't know it was pure solid gold. I believe they did it for utter trash games too.
Because people would post the score in the comments anyways
Why not
Cammy lol i actually click this video to see why this indie got such a high score and i see why! It looks very good and fun.
ChaoticMayhem I did the same with Celeste.
9.4? Hollow Knight easily deserves a 10. There is so much content on this game and it was packaged together beautifully.
I thought the guy doing the review was Spencer Reid from Criminal minds 😂😂😂
It is literally a *masterpiece* ! Pick it up and support team cherry!
This game is a 10/10. Trust the comments
Thanks for giving the verdict on the thumbnail
Who’s here after the November PS+ announcement?
Hollow knight is so fun. It gives me break from modern warfare, and not only that it’s one of those games where the only penalty of dying is losing your money. Everything else makes you know more about the game/fights/bosses you will encounter. I highly recommend it for people who just want a break from FPS’s and go into a world of peace. It’s free for ps+ members on PS4.
Big facts. Had the same thoughts
Try dead cells
@@cathlic2007 what’s dead cells?
@@MangoMerchant ps4 game , it’s like this one but way little different, search it up, you might like it
As someone who is addicted to fortnite but prefers other games (2 of my favs being hollow knight and Little Nightmares 1/2) why in the living hell would you rate this LOWER THAN FORTNITE?!?!!?
NO, this is game is a 20/10 you fools
seriously?!? i’d give it a 100/1
How the hell didn't this get a 10 out of 10 it's truly a masterpiece.
The fact that this didn't get a 10/10 infuriates me
@@franziv4593 why the game was a 10/10 there were almost no flaws
@@neko6135 Because 9/10 is also amazing, nearly flawless and having one (half!) point more or less difference is nothing special.
People need to accept that their 10/10 games (I also got some on my mind) are not 10/10 for everyone.
@@franziv4593 you are realy ok with fortnight having a better score than this masterpiece?
@@franziv4593 wait did you delete your last comment about never playing fortnight or hollow knight if so why?
This is my favorite game of current gen. It's also on sale on Steam for $10. THIS IS A MUST BUY GAME!
Soo impressed with Hollow Knight, this game is a masterpiece!
How did this video not mention the soundtrack??
If someone handrew an entire game and sold it to me for 15 bucks, I would excuse any level of difficulty
To this day I still don’t understand how this isn’t a 10 as it’s one of if not the best games ever made and it’s only €15! And even less if you get it during a sale. And there is at least 50-70 hours of pure amazing content with little to no filler in it.
Everyone needs to buy this game.
Easily the best metroidvania ever made. The metroidvania of our generation.
what are the 0.6 points taken off for
Hollow knight is a MASTERPIECE!!!!!
When people say that "They put Doom on every console", I dont really see that.
What I do see is that they keep porting Symphony of the Night to every console.
For anyone complaining about the game being boring at the beginning, just know that you’ve only experienced about 1% of the entire game. The game is trying to ease you into its mechanics. Of course the bosses and enemies aren’t that complex or challenging, you’ve barley played any of the game. The difficulty, and overall quality of the game ramps up drastically. At least play up until you beat the Mantis lords and if your still not enjoying the game, then that’s fair.
It's hard
Instant 10/10 from geeks
Metroidvania masterpiece. Easiest 10/10.
Hollow Knight really makes you feel like Hollow Knight.
Yep, it definitely made me feel like a smol bug like creature lost in a vast but beautiful world.
@@otaku-chan4888 hollow knight is not the small bug you control, im not going to spoil more bcz maybe you haven't finished the game
@@ark3788 I've finished the game, and I can assure you that the title is up to interpretation. It could be referring to _the_ Hollow Knight, or to the fact that you are like the Hollow Knight, and hence hollow.
The player character is know canonically called the Knight since fans have chosen that name, so the developers gave it their stamp of approval.
Plus the experience is of a character _like_ a bug, not an actual bug in canon lore.
My gf recommended me to get this game. She's a goddamn keeper. She's the Hollow Knight one and I'm the Celeste one, and that makes it perfect
The fact that only 3 people made it instead of multiple studios and made it one of the best
