    My biggest and best video yet to end off 2023 with a banger (or start 2024 depending on where you live). This video literally took my entire soul. My entire November and December was basically just working on this video and with holidays and everything as well it was really hard to get all of this done in time. I hope you all will enjoy it, because I’m really proud of the result :). I want to wish everyone a happy New Year and let’s hope 2024 will be an even greater year for this channel! Thank you all so much, love y’all💜

    4:25 I’m actually genuinely surprised at how hated Deepnest is. In my honest opinion, I love deepnest because it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It throws you off, it creeps you out. Wouldn’t be deepnest, with no creepers, now would it? The lack of music, the ambience of the place, meeting nosk for the first time, getting beaten up by those people in the distant village, senseless tunnels with seemingly no meaning to them. It’s just awesome. I love it.

      Not everyone likes having nightmares of spiders crawling over them. Fear has a negative connotation for a reason, and arachnophobia is the most common phobia. Put the two together, and no wonder people are going to react so erratically to this area.
      Poison is great at killing people, but I won't say I like it because "It does exactly what it's supposed to do". When something is great at doing something you don't like, chances are you're going to hate it more.

    I actually love deepnest. It has two of the most interesting enemy designs in the game (a spider coming out of the foreground and a beast that uses it's claws as a mask and a weapon? that's pretty cool in my opinion). I also find it does exactly what it's supposed to do: make you feel lost, claustrophobic, and uncomfortable. Possibly even plain scared if you're an arachnophobe (which I thankfully am not). The random drop into the hot spring after the extremely tight tunnel navigation is one of my most memorable experiences. All in all, a pretty solid area.

    Honestly Greenpath is top tier, I fully agree with you. Especially about that being the moment you realized the game had so much more to offer! I also really appreciate your willingness to own up to the subjectivity at the end and bring your personal experience with the game into your assessment. It's definitely the kind of stuff I hope to emulate as I get my own channel off the ground!

      My experience with Greenpath is probably very personal and I even saw a ranking where it was placed as the worst area. So I felt like I needed to mention it was subjective and that everyone likes different things.

    It's interesting how experiences can be different. When I first played, I breezed through Crossroads, then got to Greenpath and found it to be very difficult, but managed to go through. Then I got to Fungal Wastes and somehow missed the map shop before descending all the way down to the Mantis Village.
    So my oldest memory of Fungal Wastes is getting lost, struggling to survive through all the enemies, still not having a mastery of the pogo jump that made it easy to traverse, and eventually getting the Mantis Claw, but having no idea how to get back to the top and dying over and over as I tried, until I quit Hollow Knight and started telling anyone who asked me that I disliked the game and that I just wasn't into metroidvanias in general.
    But then, after a year of having this itch, I decide to go back, even if just out of spite. But the experience from having played HK before changed how skilled I was. I destroyed both Greenpath and Fungal Wastes, beat Hornet in two tries and found pogo jumping to be easy this time.
    Then I get to City of Tears and meet the beautiful music and atmosphere for the first time, the difficulty that was just right, the map opening up so I could go anywhere, and finally the feeling that I knew what I was doing. That's when I fell in love with HK.
    So CoT is easily my favorite area. And GP/FG definitely don't make the top 3, since I can't help but associate them with that painful first run.

    honestly, my personal favorite contentwise is the white palace. I just love platforming, plus the lore is pretty insane. It was a really impactful area, both with the throne room and the ending of path of pain, at least for me.
    But I can get behind a lot of the places for areas in your ranking, honestly I can agree with most of them. It was a very nice video, thanks for making it, and have a nice 2024 :)

    I may be a masochist, but I truly love deepnest and white palace. But... for me, the location, that opened my eyes to this game, were crystall peaks. I LOVE the platforming aspect of games and that area is SOMETHING. Amazing path for crystall dash, that-bug-who-stole-a-bench, these undying lazer crystall bugs... and MYLA T-T
    Btw I think that it's quite important to mention that you get your opportunity to explore this location only after buying expensive as heck (for a beginner of cource) lantern. Grinding for 1800 money in the beginning of the game feels like eternity, and then you finally entrance this quite mysterious and spooky dark cave... and than you GASP watching on all of the shades of amazement you face in this area... Gorgeous.
    And yeah, you've got to return back to crystall peaks a few times. And every time you discover, that crystall peaks are more, than you now it.

  • @ЮрійКирпиченко
    @ЮрійКирпиченко Рік тому +2

    Thank you for the video! I absolutely understand that all ranking is subjective (understood from the moment i was clicking on the video) so not going to argue, just share some subjectiveness too!
    First, i wouldn't place crystal peak so high if was asked. Party because "area where you accomplish some goals and never turn back" is about it exactly. Party because of enemies, that just don't feel.. so good as others. And maybe, just maybe, because it's art style, all lightened crystals without bright light, the sound of machinery and THE MUSIC just spreads sadness so strong... Not that kind of sweet and ascended sadness, but the one that chains your chest. However, few playthroughs later i probably will change my mind, who knows.
    Next... Hive. Yeah, there's not so much to do there, but it is just pleasing. Completely optional area, the only optional in the game as far as i remember (((well good luck in white palace without hiveblood when you're not great in parkour)))
    For me, no problems with background sound, it feels so different from the rest of game in terms of being really alive, another kingdom within borders of Hallownest, that (as seems) hasn't collapsed and still running... (Also somehow associations with childhood memories of Angry Birds Space, especially the Utopia levels, idk)
    Kingdom's edge. First entering was just a WOW moment, completely agree with what you said. But to add, if only you are familiar with sequel of Syberia, the very music Just Hits Different. (Also Wyrm, that's cool af)
    Ancient basin. Not much to say, I'll go with the crowd on this, it's "dark not grim" aesthetic that i love. Witnessing something beyond what we've seen before, seeing ruins of Palace, also the Broken Vessel which is sooo cool and has awesome soundtrack, aswell as still-partly Pale beginning of location that slowly changes to dark... And the dreamnail dialogue of king's servant in the beacon, that can be used as a sample of the location's vibe.
    Oh yeah, after bue-ish Forgotten Crossroads when you enter bright amd full of life Greenpath and the absolute masterpiece of a music starts playing and tou get first serious glimpses of all the mysteries awaiting...
    Thank you for the video. Silksoon?

    I like Howling Cliffs much more than the Hive. Discovering the Cliffs was actually cool, like a subversion that you can go backwards beyond the starting point of the game, and also the aesthetics of the scary wastelands and emptiness outside of Hollownest.
    I think there are more than 2 enjoyers of the location. It does good job for what it is, a semi-secret location. While the Hive has a different job, and it fails at it. I actually don't even understand what the Hive is supposed to make you feel, what its design even. It is just a useless location from nearly all sides.

The Hive is a very short area, sure, and the big boy bee can be kinda annoying, but in my opinion, it is one of the most interesting and visually pleasing areas in the game.

    so when white palace gives you a white fragment you call it "half a charm" but when queen's gardens gives you one you call it "one of the most important items in the game" lmao
    fire video tho 👍

      Hahahah😭 I mean you get my point, it’s way more effort to get through White Palace than through Queen’s Gardens.

    I got so excited when i saw the notification for a new miles video. The tier list was fire, but my only big disagreement was that royal waterways is the ABSOLUTE WORST AREA EVER, the only redeeming factor is dung boy and godhome, but you ranked that seperate so only one thing prevents it from being utter garbage. Anyways, beside that little "correction" i agree with the list.
    P.S. - what was that game where you were playing as oshawott? (Its my favorite pokemon)

      Hahahaha yeah the Royal Waterways is uhhm indeed not peoples favourite hahaha😭
      And the game is called 'Poképark 2' I love it so much, I played it my entire childhood. It’s for the wii if you want to play it someday :)
