Let's see how I got on!

Is there any other game you would love to see me try?
Have you ever played Celeste? It’s a platformer and it’s really cute
Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons
@@wiggleninja fr Celeste amazing
Play monster hunter
Try playing Trails in the Sky, would love to see a new take on it and there isn't too much content on this franchise on youtube rn
10:43 The reason Lace (and the rest of the Silksong soundtrack) sounds so much better than HK is because for Silksong has all of its music played and recorded by a live orchestra this time around (specifically the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra) instead of using a DAW.
Excellent video, I really loved the editing!
Ahh that makes sense! Thank you!
Are y’all gonna change the channel when Silksong releases?
@@viddog6457 i don't think they will change it, because after silksong releases there will be a lot of news
Seriously? My god this has a Cuphead-level budget now!
19:15 primal aspids are a universal struggle
Wait, you killed the Traitor Lord _without_ Cloth? Ooh, tough break...
Oh, and that _wasn't_ the last boss...
Any plans to continue the game? Cos I’d love to see you go to different areas like the white palace, godhome and the grim troop, not to mention fight the radiance and get the true ending
Yes! Aiming for the 100%! Too many damn razors in White Palace lol
@@EditedbySilvers what about the other 12%? /j
Don’t try all achievements trust me
@@Finn_W69420why not?
@@matheuscabral9618 all achievements is rough bro 💀
21:33 you realize that youre not the hollow knight after walking by the fountain in city of tears. In the ending you realize you actually are the hollow knight
You arenxt the hollow knight tho lmao
did you even finish the game?
@@Hospobarmetaphorically, you could say you are the hollow knight, but lore wise you aren't, you're their sibling
@@hibilbo4755 yeah i know you are not "the" hollow knight but i thought you could call yourself a hollow knight, especially in this ending
I actually didn't realize at the fountain, because the hollow knight looked so much like the vessel I thought the opposite, that I was the hollow knight but somehow people forgot about me or didn't recognize me or I was in a diminished form.or something.
The reason why bosses are far from benches is because of game design pioneered by soulslike games, iirc. The idea is that if you die too quickly after spawning you will tilt much faster, so the games make you walk to the boss every time so you can reflect on mistakes and come up with a strategy. Sounds like the problem was more that the game didn't ease up the difficulty in the walk up to bosses like soul master
It did! most areas have shortcuts to open on the way to the boss (Including Soul Sanctum).
btw team cherry said they wern’t inspired by souls games and i dont think they even played one
@@Gastro-enterite-en-imaxyeah I think it was just a coincidence and team cherry inherently knew what good game design is
I don't think I had a problem with the benches being to far from bosses. Except traitor lord >:(
@@elderadult8544 dream gate
if i just oopsie-d into mantis lords i think i'd throw my controller
It was insane!
why would you throw your controller? those things cost money you know
Mantis Lords is a really weird one to me, one of my favorite bosses and really wasn't that difficult imo, but then I've had a lot of trouble with other bosses that others call easy.
This was so fun to watch, the moment you played City of Tears soundtrack it reminded why I loved the game so much. Great job! You got yourself a fan!
In this game there are 4 endings, you did the shortest one, there are 3 more that are more harder to beat
I may do a follow up video, I am currently trying to 100% the game, I say trying cause they're are to many razors in White Palace!
The path of pain is called that for a GOOD reason
yeah mate good luck with 100%.... or should i say 112%. thats the max percent in the game haha, also get at least the "true ending"@@EditedbySilvers
I got voidheart before getting The Hollow Knight ending and at the end i had to do Dream No More ending lmao
@@Vivi-hq2ce I don't think he's doing Path of Pain xD
So glad to have another HK player in the community. I think it's great that every player has a very purposely different experience with the game. (Like you, i also thought Fog Canyon was a part of Fungal Wastes on my first playthrough.) Many forget about those black shadow gates. Lots of people have Dreamgate to reduce back track to bosses like Traitor Lord. In fact, Traitor Lord is optional! Lots of things are! A second playthrough would probably blow your mind.
19:51 that kick was personal, absolute gem.
obsessed w u just chilling in the game with every character lol
"Only fight with 2 phases"
most endgame bosses: W H Y H E L L O
Ive watched recaps of ppls experiences playing hollow knight for the first time. Like their breakdown and i have nvr once seen someone green screen themselves and edit themselves into a video game screen next to the protagonist and that right there had me from the beginning. You basically walking around kinda in Hollownest was a twist ive nvr seen before on a game review. It was astounding. So happy you enjoyed my favorite game man cheers
You’ve got to go back for the true ending. It’s so worth it.
Everyone waiting for the exact moment you get to city of tears. I had to stop and just stare at it the first time. I almost cried.
Getting annoyed at the primal aspids (the flying ones that shoot 3 bullets) is truly the hollow knight experience
No yeah traitor lord taking three hours checks out. It’s a painful fight and I was Quite Happy when I bean him.
He was doing it without Cloth.
I agree with the benches being far, but there is a way to make it better that you can unlock pretty early (with the dream nail and dream gates)
i absolutely love how you format essay/playthrough videos, its very unique and you have such a great personality, i rly love this video
i totally feel you with that bouncy mushroom things. it took me WAY to long to figure out i had to hit them to bounce me up
15:18 you know honestly I never really thought about this. It is kinda lame that they just made an actual gate that blocks you from entering, should’ve been like a bunch of long spikes or something.
There's soooo much more to the game that you didn't run into this time around! Hoping for a part 2☺️☺️
7:22 they hired voice actors! I know you put in the flukes as a joke, but Hornets VA was the one to do the noises for them 😂
10:20 theres a reason! He didnt actually use any instruments, just sound bytes! Theres only a few actual instruments in the music, like the piano or maybe a few chords of a guitar, but he was the only person doing the music, not just composing. Im so excited to see what he can do with a real orchestra in Silksong!
Would love to see the rest of the game completed. The true boss definitely makes up for the easiness of THK and the Grimm troupe has my favorite boss in gaming
Just found this video now and I absolutely love it. It highlights everything I love (and hate) about this game in a neat little package, topped off with some really nice editing (I find the way you edit yourself into the environments really charming and it sells the idea that you’re kind of growing alongside the main character well). You really put passion into your work and it shows. Great content!
I need to get back into this game, got stuck years ago and didn’t want to look up a play through. Your amazing editing and explanation got me inspired to give it another go!
Haven’t watched yet but I know its a banger
Glad I found this hidden gem of a channel quality content best of luck on 100% can’t wait to see what you make next
always a good day when u drop a video !
You are so underrated I love your editing and amazing commentary on hollow knight
Killer video. Gonna be checking out the rest over the coming weeks. Shout out to IP for sending me over.
Remember, if you ever find yourself saying "man, I wish there was more hollow knight"
There is a lot more.
No presh, I'm sure you got a schedule, and shit you gotta do, and yeah some if it is harder.
But there is a lot more, and I hope you find yourself continueing to improve to be ready to take on some of the harder challenges to come, it's not that much different from the rest of the game, you learn patterns, you hone your skills, you git gud.
Best of luck for the nightmare, that is King grimm.
I did come back to Hollow Knight a few weeks ago to give it the proper time it deserves, currently on 106% completion and it's been such a beautiful journey. Navigating the map is just always a good time and getting lost to stumble upon grubs or charms rewards you for thurrow exploration. Originally I wanted to go for 112% but Trial of the Fool is beating my ass and I know NKG will do the same, the flower quest will demand more of me than I am willing to give and Godhome is a whole nother can of worms (also fuck Primal Aspids, I 100% agree with you, luckily a single Shade Soul + Shaman Stone oneshots them). If you liked Hollow Knight, I do recommend Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knight, it fits into a very similar genre, also a Metroidvania, set in a gloomy, dead world with challenging bosses, tons of exploration, snappy combat with a ton of different abilities, a beautiful soundtrack and lore that makes you scratch your head until you watch a comprehensive hour-long summary.
Also shoutout to your greenscreen edits, always good to see when someone just goofs around in editing a bit xD
Im doing my first steel soul run
your editing is incredible you really deserve more followers dude
Your videos are such a joy to watch 🫶
One of the things i love about Hollowknight is its ability to tell the story, without really using cut scenes. At most you get a couple of bits of dialogue from each character and the gameplay tells the story. I think the people who haven't played Hollowknight, because its a 2D platformer are really missing out on one of the greatest games ever made.
really loved this style of video! Youre going places dude, keep it up!
Damn...now I got to play this
do so immediately
great video! glad to see this come by my feed
Your videos are SO enjoyable to watch! Love the editing!
I like that you were in the game for most of this. First time I've seen something by you. I like the editing and jokes so I'm hitting subscribe. Thanks for the cool video.
This video was so fun to watch! Awesome job!
bro i’m only 39 secs in and ALREADY SUBSCRIBED!!! that intro was funny and the green screen efffect was awesome!!
So glad RUclips suggested this video! It was fun hearing your take and watching your approach to this thing. There’s a TON of Hollow Knight content out there but you really did just keep it gritty, to the point and entertaining throughout. Really digging this and I went ahead and liked the video & subscribed to the channel my man. I’ll be watching!
(Tho you nuts about the music brotha. I do music shit myself and I think it’s one of the best OSTs out there. But yeah man, Ori’s is absolutely bananas as well!)
I just beat this game today and I gotta say I really enjoyed it. Great video by the way! You earned another subscriber! Cheers
You're so underrated genuinely some gold content over here!
I come from Internet Pitstop. Great video, it's been a little over a year since I played Hollow Knight (I completed it at 106%, last bosses were too difficult), and, damn, it was simply an unforgettable and unrepeatable experience.
I like the idea of using chroma key and your way of editing, so I will be waiting for your next video, good luck with the channel!
So glad I found your channel!
At least he will wait Silksong little bit less
Great video man! i hope your channel grows alot
I love the editing on this vid, bro. But uh, yeah, this game’s pretty cool, really up there as one of my favorites.
This was a great video! I'm glad you enjoyed the game and I think your criticism is very valid and your editing is great.
Same dude, I beat it in less then a week, yet still could experience just how amazing this game was and still is! I’m still playing it to try and get the other endings tho
your humour and editing is so good!!
Love the way u put yourself in the game. Love the vid to hope more peaple find it
The editing in this is stellar. Chef's kiss.
Bro this is some top tier content, ur editing is great!
I dont recall having problems with the benches being far from bosses, and with my skillset I had to give it A LOT of tries.
Walking back to the place gave me a chance to mentally prepare, to think what went bad last try, to give the context of the boss thought (specially with traitor lord!), and I perfected the path back to them every time which was also fun on its own
i appreciate ANY hollow knight contet the eve, ALSO great content style fr fr
City of Tears is when I went “Oh, this game is something special”
Benches far from bosses brings tension and makes you actually care about dying. It’s frustrating yeah but it’s a huge reason why finally beating the boss feels so damn good
Now THIS is a high effort video!
Nice job +1 sub !
This is a great video!
Bro played the game 3 weeks before 2024 released, bluds a time traveling mon- I have been told not to finish
I started hollow knight yesterday! Its been really fun so far
I'm not even two minutes into the video but your style of editing and commentating is great, subscribed!
Just walking along beside the character, amazing
So exited for Hollow Knight: Silksong and Hollow Knight: Zoteboat!!!
wow its my first time watching something from this channel and it was very entertaining!
why does this only have barely 8k views? shits great!
I find it funny that the only things you disliked about the game where due to you not following along with the lore/story. Either way I loved the video and the style!
This is cool af!
Wow your content is really amazing, really well dont and entertaining!
I first played in 2019 and thought I was late as hell to the club and was joining right before the sequel. Little did I know.
Heard about you from IP. I get the feeling that you’re gonna become a big account so keep grinding
You’re like my new favorite content creator- you covered animal crossing and Hollow Knight which is my favorite game of all time.
Also I complained once about the benches and I was told to GIT GUD 😂
Thank you for the support! And yes, this is what I kept telling myself...but the pain of it made me weep
IP brought me here & im glad he did. Great vid for a great game 🤘
Hey man, first time I see you around here and I loved to see you in my recommended. In the end you asked for a game to play and i think Ghost Of Tsushima is very good ( I am in my own playtrough ) I am enjoying this game and I really recommend it!
Hey mate. Thx for another great video. I suppose you might love TUNIC. But be carefull any info about this game might spoil your experience.
Love it!
It was the first time I watched any of your vids and I have to say this was a master piece (and the HK isn't the last boss)
you uploaded this video in 2023
dope vid, as always! love the edits, always has me dying lol.
for a suggestion, i would love to see Baldurs Gate 3!
I got you! Been thinking about doing one!
Love the way he insert himself in the scenario
Great video! The editing was on point
Will you continue playing the game? Cause it gets a hell lot harder from there
I really like this style of video
12:33
I’ve never related to such a feeling like this ever
i wish i could wipe my memory just to play hollow knight for the first time, very envious of you
Amazing video tons of fun
Mcdonalds Kazuha pfp 💀
19:20 Those are primal aspids, and you have no idea how funny this is to a HK player. Like bro, you and me both, welcome to the community
Heyyyy now you got the first ending you can go for the better one with the true final boss ;)
internet pitstop sent me.. great videos :D subscribed~
Thank you! Super appreciative of Internet Pitstop!
Love this
You had me in the first sentence good sir!
Oh man this is one underrated channel
Just discovered the channel, I love the censoring of certain words, not many channels have that. Also I do disagree with the music opinion, I personally love it, but I love the personality and energy you bring, earned a sub from me^^
Lucky, he only has to wait 6 years for silksong while the rest of us have been waiting for 10!
With the benches there's almost always one near a boss.
Just gained yourself a twitch follower and a yt subscriber, amazing content bro. 👍🏻
