undertale celeste and hollow knight are perfect examples of not needing a giant amount of employees and major company backing you up to make a great game.
Its actually crazy how often this exact scenario happens with this game. I bought it on sale, played it for 45 minutes, got bored, and didn't touch it for like, 8 months. Came back, and then it became my favorite game of all time.
yeah i really wonder why... i got the game back in 2019, played it for around 2 hours and then just kinda fell off of it. came back to it around a month ago and it's one of my favourite games of all time, got to 111% already
Yep. For me it was the map. I was foolish enough to think that i can easily navigate without really relying on it. On my second try, once I understood that map is vital for my understanding of game's progression, everything became much more enjoyable, because i knew at least 2-4 paths where to explore to actually make some progress.
For me it was the main goal. I didn't get that in order to progress, I have to find and kill the 3 dreamers, so I got stuck and didn't play for months. Came back and now it's one of my favorite games of all time. Also got the opportunity to translate the game to portuguese, which was a great experience.
The start is kinda slow progression wise. You don't get the cool stuff until later, so I think that plays a good part of why people don't get invested early in hollow knight. You can't stop playing it after a while though.
@@antman7673 My dude...it is a bit. A bit that Charlie's been doing for about fifteen years now. Nothing's being "played off as a joke". He is joking.
The hilarious part is how he talks shit about the charm that allows him to heal faster, and proceeds to get shit on by every boss every time he goes to heal. Lmao
It’s fun watching Charlie get destroyed by the parkour that took me a few tries yet watching him destroy bosses in two attempts that took me 10+ attempts
Charlie: Beats Lost Kin in a few attempts Also Charlie: Dies to Marmu Note: I've never said Lost Kin is extremely hard. It's more of a gatekeeper to the good bosses and it happens to be my personal favorite. Marmu is just easy, no matter the conditions, it never has been difficult under any circumstances (and believe me, after seeing some of the replies and after testing the different arenas in godhome and different builds etc I can still say it's easy as can be. Weird it's almost as if it's just not hard.)
Always warms my heart when people play hollow knight for the first time. Even five years down the line, it's still the gold standard for what indie games can accomplish.
According to steam, my first playthrough of Hollow Knight took me 50 hours. that's without following any guides but still, watching Charlie beat it in an hour has me wondering if I'm retarded.

@@ReeversUhHuh honestly the hollow Knight discord kinda sucks. One of the things I hate most about it is the memes channel. All of the memes are just reposts over and over and over, and they won’t even let you talk in that channel like wtf. How can any humor develop if they won’t let you talk?
Anyone interested in the lore of hallow knight here's a little tidbit about no eyes at 45:12 they were a great warrior of hallow nest but retired to become a care taker of children. Once the infection started spreading through hallow nest she gouged out the eyes of the children she was looking after and then her own eyes in an effort to prevent them from becoming infected. This worked however without their eyesight they weren't able to protect the children from the infected and they died overcome with guilt they were unable to defend themselves from the infected and fell to them as well Edit: I may be missing a couple pieces of information but as far as I know that's their story
@@Korophyl I'm pretty sure no eyes was wasn't a character made by a supporter, I could be wrong but the context between the area where you fight them and what they say when you talk to them doesn't leave much else to explain it
@@Johngamer2418 I +100% it with keyboard. It's not bad, you'll get used to it. Edit: also did path of pain. Tho never tried with gamepad so I can't compare
The fact that you got void heart before your second dreamer really reminded me how much freedom Teach Cherry gave us on where we want to go or what we want to get first. HK is definitely one of my favorite games of all time
Hollow Knight's soundtrack is so soul-crushingly beautiful. It captures the game's sullen and magical world perfectly for me. Playing this game for the first time was like the feeling of teenage love, a feeling that this jaded and curmudgeon adult has missed profoundly. Bravo
I haven’t played this game in a long time. When he got damaged in white palace, I reacted as if I was the one playing and then got anxious when he was close to getting hit again. When I saw those wall of flying daggers again for the first time in in his fight against the radiance, I had flashbacks to my very numerous pitiful rage filled attempts against AbsRad. The sight of those daggers slowly heading to the left literally activated a memory buried deep within my soul and my brain/subconscious instantly labeled it as some vietnam war flashback.
I always thought people were joking about saw PTSD but when i got to the section with the moving spikes in path of pain i understood why. Worst 2 hours of my life
I couldn't finish this game, I got about 80% there but I just don't have the reflexes anymore and I've never been good at 2D side-scrollers, but I loved every minute I played of it, the music and atmosphere especially are amazing
Im glad you got to enjoy it in spite of not being able to finish the game. It really is great, but I also understand that not everyone who plays games has the reflexes necessary to beat some of the more reflex and pattern-recognition based ones like HK.
I feel like this and the boss designs are why this game gets so many Dark Souls comparisons. Its very rare to play a game with an atmosphere so haunting and beautiful
They should take all the time they could possibly need to make it as good as they want it to be. I appreciate people not rushing their work in harm to the quality.
@@JoaoVictor-fq6hz It ended up sending the fandom into the same state that titanfall's suffered. Everyone's just pretending the game already released. Although if Team Cherry were to shadowdrop it now, it would probably take a while for people to realize "oh shit, it's ACTUALLY out"
if i had a nickel for every time a twitch stream jumped blind into hollow knight, was unexpectedly gifted first try, and proceeded to spend hours grinding soul tyrant underpowered until they won, i'd have 10 cents, which isn't alot , but its still weird that it happened twice.
I know he fought it early but I never really got why people find failed champion hard I beat him first try as he is just a faster first boss and even am relieved to see him in pantheons because it means I get full free health
Dude in all seriousness, I'm legit blown away by Charlie's skill for this game. Ive beaten this game 3 times now and I still have never beat the path of pain, This dude does it first playthough in just over an hour and calls it overrated. Like damn lol plus he beat Soul Tyrant & NKG in just a couple tries, Tbh i couldnt even beat them my first playthough. I'm seriously impressed, Glad he gave this game another chance.
If you’ve played other platforming games a lot the POP isn’t really as hard as people make it out to be. Especially if you’ve already played Celeste. That being said, I died like 15 times to the Watcher Knights and Nosk on my first play through so I clearly have my weaknesses. And Pure Vessel/NKG absolutely kick my ass.
@@kazu68 While hiveblood is a good choice for PoP, there are still better options. You will need combat charms for the end, and you may not have enough slots due to the huge cost of hiveblood. Let's not even mention how terrible it is outside of that area.
charlie could do a boss fight that would take him 12 hours to beat and he would still say "that wasnt too bad i was expecting it to be a bit harder tbh"
I suck at this game BIG TIME, but I still love it to pieces. It's so well-designed, a magnificent soundtrack, beautiful art style, intriguing lore--it's got it all. Can't wait for Silksong!
@@lynx4082 Have you heard of the famous youtuber known as MoistCritikal/Penguinz0? He has this little thing called humor that you might not have heard about. It's okay if you haven't heard of this as it's more of a myth or legend than a real thing, so don't sweat it.
I love how he said the hardest bit is the platforming, not the "actual gameplay". it's a platformer, that's meant to be the hard bit too just like the fights
One of, if not, the greatest indie game out there. The passion, the love, the hand drawn animations, this game has so much that just comes all together and becomes a masterpiece. God, I love this game, happy Charlie finally played it
Seeing him shred through these bosses really makes me feel ashamed. To be fair, hollow knight was my first game, so maybe that was why it was hard for me.
Having hollow knight as a first game is such a strange concept to me, I forget there are people who haven't been gaming their whole lives, an amazing choice tho, and it's a hard game for everyone, don't worry about it.
@@yeetyeetpotatoskeet7948 aside from kirby, hk was one of my first platformers, i sucked ass at it at first but after nearly 650 hours of nonstop dying i think im pretty good at it it made me feel ashamed as well, i died 15+ times to nearly every post broken vessel boss tbh, just got to remember that 1. charlie is incredibly good at games 2. you learn your own strategies and take as much time as you need to beat a boss, just because someone is better than you doesn't make you bad hell, if you manage to beat the game in the first place your already better than a LOT of people
@@zytheabsolutenerd75 Dude, you are not alone 🥺. Thought I played a lot of video games. The catharsis that I felt while playing hollow knight. Straight up made me buy From Software games. And now I’m suffering playing Demon Souls and Bloodborne, and pain hasn’t feel so much better after playing actual souls like games. They are just too good!
charlie doing the last room of path of pain without using the upper saw at the end and taking only one hit from the two kingsmoulds without using spells was honestly incredible
The audio in this game is a 24/7 eargasm, the visuals are the best I've ever seen from a platformer, and the gameplay is fantastic. I'm so glad Charlie is playing this, it's awesome.
Would've loved to see him actually read stuff but nonetheless glad to see him actually play it, and do so well! Hollow Knight deserves all the praise it can get!
@@BurndiL tbf you have to immerse yourself in the world to enjoy it, plus the are just the best clips which are rarely reading dialogue, because it’s less epic
Charlie is such an impatient gamer lol I never expected to see him play a metroidvania. But it makes sense he would use the chat to avoid the exploration part if that's not what he is into. Plus the sheer number of times he died just by dashing straight into an enemy...

I really love the radiance bc yes it really throws a LOT of movement challenges on you but the entire game has been preparing you to fight movement challenges so it's not a cheap tactic for difficulty

@@invigale well lets look at what we know, The Hollow Knight was successful in containing the Radiance even if was only temporary. We have no idea how long the HK was locked up for after containing the Radiance, however we do now that it didn’t break out soon after due to the memorials of the HK and the Dreamers sacrifice which must have taken some time to build. We also know that bugs traveled to the black egg to pray.
3 роки тому+49
I thought they just cut him taking the other dreamers but no, he actually did PoP before getting them
i like how when charlie doesn't like a game he blames the game when he doesn't play well, but when he plays a game he does like he always takes responsibility when he plays like shit lol
I think even in shit games he still takes responsibility most of the time. Like in the game with so many glitches that he couldn't even get through a door. He was always looking for alternatives like its his duty to find a way through even if the game can't.
Hollow Knight is EASILY a top 3 most beautiful game of all time. The backgrounds, the music, the character designs, the level layouts It's all so beautifully done. This game is truly a masterpiece and I wish I never played it so I can experience going into Greenpath for the first time all over again
Charlie beat the Soul Tyrant on a low level. He has definitely proved himself a pro-gamer and still went on Path of Pain. This man is an absolute madlad.
This was the game that changed my gaming life forever, it introduced me to metroidvanias and what an actual game with actual love and heart put into it. Thank you Hallow Knight thank you Team Cherry’s you showed me what true creativity is.
@@akatsukimi Any recommendations? I have yet to find anything even remotely as good as hollow knight. I tried ori but it certainly wasn't my cup of tea.
I spent a sold week learning the lore. Its so in depth and actually has really good impact on what you're doing. Highly recommend anyone, to do a deep dive into the lore.
@@mrkablamo5866 that was the one I watched, I mean by a week was after I watched that video I binged everything Hollow Knight after that. I love his channel.
I remember when Hollow Knight first came out Thorns of Agony would still counter attack after you died. So like 99% of the bosses I fought died AFTER I died because of Thorns of Agony.

Such a good game! The overall ambience is just near perfection, such as when you first enter the city of tears the music and tone is just this mellow yet dreading feel. It's just so simple and good in the cleanest way possible, the music and art is just straight feels. This game is a perfect example of a person who created something who truly cared about what they were making, only someone with that level of passion can create something so addictively embracing and make it seem effortless.
I remember last year when you just thought it was "Just another side scroller" and said it was overhyped or something like that. But it's great seeing you come back and enjoy it, it truly is an amazing metroidvania one of the best (My favourite)
Hot take: the Grimm fights aren't actually that hard they just take time to learn. They're designed like dances and you need to learn the steps to keep up with him.
It's times like this where I realize how insanely good Charlie is at video games, I remember stuff like Radiance and NKG taking me hours to beat and even having to upgrade my gear sometimes, but he makes it look so easy. Regardless, it's so much fun to watch him play my favorite game of all time
Love how he picks up hollow knight one day and immediately goes for all the dream bosses on one nail upgrade, longnail and compass. When even I struggle on dream bosses with fully upgraded nail and spells, 7 masks and as many charm notches as I can get my hands on. A true gamer.

@@ShonKappa well said
he has watched the runs on the radiance and liked it from their, i don’t think it was because the fan base begged him
Anyone interested in the lore of hallow knight here's a little tidbit about no eyes at 45:12 they were a great warrior of hallow nest but retired to become a care taker of children. Once the infection started spreading through hallow nest she gouged out the eyes of the children she was looking after and then her own eyes in an effort to prevent them from becoming infected. This worked however without their eyesight they weren't able to protect the children from the infected and they died overcome with guilt they were unable to defend themselves from the infected and fell to them as well
Edit: I may be missing a couple pieces of information but as far as I know that's their story
damn I never knew about their lore thats so sad
That's so depressing
this was all but deconfirmed by mossbag when he talked to the supporter that made no eyes
@@Korophyl I'm pretty sure no eyes was wasn't a character made by a supporter, I could be wrong but the context between the area where you fight them and what they say when you talk to them doesn't leave much else to explain it

@YeaMan ok
Hollow Knight's soundtrack is so soul-crushingly beautiful. It captures the game's sullen and magical world perfectly for me. Playing this game for the first time was like the feeling of teenage love, a feeling that this jaded and curmudgeon adult has missed profoundly. Bravo
City of Tears background music specifically, so relaxing and soothing with the rain sound effects
Queen's gardens is nice too
The mantis music was great
I haven’t played this game in a long time. When he got damaged in white palace, I reacted as if I was the one playing and then got anxious when he was close to getting hit again. When I saw those wall of flying daggers again for the first time in in his fight against the radiance, I had flashbacks to my very numerous pitiful rage filled attempts against AbsRad. The sight of those daggers slowly heading to the left literally activated a memory buried deep within my soul and my brain/subconscious instantly labeled it as some vietnam war flashback.
Buzz saws will NEVER be the same. That noise will forever haunt me.

Hey PoP isn’t even that hard I have 3 save files and the highlight of the runs are always PoP and the Grimm troupe
I couldn't finish this game, I got about 80% there but I just don't have the reflexes anymore and I've never been good at 2D side-scrollers, but I loved every minute I played of it, the music and atmosphere especially are amazing
How many hours do you guys have on the game?
Only issue w this game is that there isn’t an assist feature like w Celeste. I absolutely love it though
Change the charm prices in the save file, it's a waste to not finish this gem
Im glad you got to enjoy it in spite of not being able to finish the game. It really is great, but I also understand that not everyone who plays games has the reflexes necessary to beat some of the more reflex and pattern-recognition based ones like HK.

I feel like this and the boss designs are why this game gets so many Dark Souls comparisons. Its very rare to play a game with an atmosphere so haunting and beautiful
Considering how beautiful this game is and how dark it is, I understand why it’s been taking ages to make Silksong
yeah me too. l
They should take all the time they could possibly need to make it as good as they want it to be. I appreciate people not rushing their work in harm to the quality.
I just wish they said that we shouldn't expect any news, for some reason they didn't do that during TGA and the fandom went insane
I'd rather Silksong take a while to make so that they can make it good than have them crunch to get it out and have it bad.
@@JoaoVictor-fq6hz It ended up sending the fandom into the same state that titanfall's suffered. Everyone's just pretending the game already released. Although if Team Cherry were to shadowdrop it now, it would probably take a while for people to realize "oh shit, it's ACTUALLY out"

Dude in all seriousness, I'm legit blown away by Charlie's skill for this game. Ive beaten this game 3 times now and I still have never beat the path of pain, This dude does it first playthough in just over an hour and calls it overrated. Like damn lol plus he beat Soul Tyrant & NKG in just a couple tries, Tbh i couldnt even beat them my first playthough. I'm seriously impressed, Glad he gave this game another chance.
Try doing it with the honney charm. You'll be able to do it that way fs.
I’d suggest giving PoP another chance. Just remember to equip grubsong, hive blood, and some combat charms for the end.
If you’ve played other platforming games a lot the POP isn’t really as hard as people make it out to be. Especially if you’ve already played Celeste.
That being said, I died like 15 times to the Watcher Knights and Nosk on my first play through so I clearly have my weaknesses.
And Pure Vessel/NKG absolutely kick my ass.
@@kazu68 While hiveblood is a good choice for PoP, there are still better options. You will need combat charms for the end, and you may not have enough slots due to the huge cost of hiveblood. Let's not even mention how terrible it is outside of that area.
Yeah same, this game was my first platformer and I struggled so hard.
charlie could do a boss fight that would take him 12 hours to beat and he would still say "that wasnt too bad i was expecting it to be a bit harder tbh"
I suck at this game BIG TIME, but I still love it to pieces. It's so well-designed, a magnificent soundtrack, beautiful art style, intriguing lore--it's got it all. Can't wait for Silksong!

wouldnt say naturally good, he just has experience from other games and help from chat which made his playthrough a lot shorter
ikr! it took me HOURS to beat broken vessel

One of, if not, the greatest indie game out there. The passion, the love, the hand drawn animations, this game has so much that just comes all together and becomes a masterpiece. God, I love this game, happy Charlie finally played it

Seeing him shred through these bosses really makes me feel ashamed. To be fair, hollow knight was my first game, so maybe that was why it was hard for me.
Having hollow knight as a first game is such a strange concept to me, I forget there are people who haven't been gaming their whole lives, an amazing choice tho, and it's a hard game for everyone, don't worry about it.
@@yeetyeetpotatoskeet7948 aside from kirby, hk was one of my first platformers, i sucked ass at it at first but after nearly 650 hours of nonstop dying i think im pretty good at it

tbh, just got to remember that
1. charlie is incredibly good at games
2. you learn your own strategies and take as much time as you need to beat a boss, just because someone is better than you doesn't make you bad
hell, if you manage to beat the game in the first place your already better than a LOT of people
@@zytheabsolutenerd75 Dude, you are not alone 🥺. Thought I played a lot of video games. The catharsis that I felt while playing hollow knight. Straight up made me buy From Software games. And now I’m suffering playing Demon Souls and Bloodborne, and pain hasn’t feel so much better after playing actual souls like games. They are just too good!
I feel you dude. Hollow Knight was probably my 3rd game ever, and my first platformer. I couldn't even get to the first checkpoint of path of pain.
@@NicoSuavemente feel you, hollow knight was my third single player ever, having played it only after cuphead and undertale
charlie doing the last room of path of pain without using the upper saw at the end and taking only one hit from the two kingsmoulds without using spells was honestly incredible
The audio in this game is a 24/7 eargasm, the visuals are the best I've ever seen from a platformer, and the gameplay is fantastic. I'm so glad Charlie is playing this, it's awesome.
Would've loved to see him actually read stuff but nonetheless glad to see him actually play it, and do so well!

My favorite moment from the game was getting stuck in deep nest right after mantis lords
Some of the best music I've heard too.
I really love the radiance bc yes it really throws a LOT of movement challenges on you but the entire game has been preparing you to fight movement challenges so it's not a cheap tactic for difficulty
I like how Charlie immediately knew Hornet was a waifu.
Soundtrack makes you feel the misery of the hallownest, truly a masterpiece
i'm still so happy about the fact that so many people love the music in this game :)
Christopher Larkin is a G
i think city of tears brings that point across the most. especially when you realise that the singing in the song is actually diagetic, and is coming from the ghost of a performer with no audience...

My favourite part of the game is still the fact that one of if not the hardest parts of the game gives you a 2 second cutscene that gives very vague implications in the lore
I agree but it’s also interesting that they show how the hollow knight possibly failed in its duty in containing the radiance
@@invigale well lets look at what we know, The Hollow Knight was successful in containing the Radiance even if was only temporary. We have no idea how long the HK was locked up for after containing the Radiance, however we do now that it didn’t break out soon after due to the memorials of the HK and the Dreamers sacrifice which must have taken some time to build. We also know that bugs traveled to the black egg to pray.
I thought they just cut him taking the other dreamers but no, he actually did PoP before getting them
i like how when charlie doesn't like a game he blames the game when he doesn't play well, but when he plays a game he does like he always takes responsibility when he plays like shit lol
That’s usually how it goes for a lot of people tbh
I think even in shit games he still takes responsibility most of the time. Like in the game with so many glitches that he couldn't even get through a door. He was always looking for alternatives like its his duty to find a way through even if the game can't.
i mean shit games usually kill you in ways you can’t avoid
Hollow Knight is EASILY a top 3 most beautiful game of all time. The backgrounds, the music, the character designs, the level layouts
It's all so beautifully done. This game is truly a masterpiece and I wish I never played it so I can experience going into Greenpath for the first time all over again
Charlie, you are an enigma, you beat some of the hardest bosses with minimal upgrades, then struggle with the easy ones with plenty of gear
Charlie beat the Soul Tyrant on a low level. He has definitely proved himself a pro-gamer and still went on Path of Pain. This man is an absolute madlad.
This was the game that changed my gaming life forever, it introduced me to metroidvanias and what an actual game with actual love and heart put into it. Thank you Hallow Knight thank you Team Cherry’s you showed me what true creativity is.
This was my largest introduction to indie gaming, too. I still like the nintendo games, but I mostly play indie games now.
Same here.I had never played a single metroidvania (except for Bloodborne, even it’s not a classic one), and after that I bought all of them.

I spent a sold week learning the lore. Its so in depth and actually has really good impact on what you're doing. Highly recommend anyone, to do a deep dive into the lore.

Such a good game! The overall ambience is just near perfection, such as when you first enter the city of tears the music and tone is just this mellow yet dreading feel. It's just so simple and good in the cleanest way possible, the music and art is just straight feels. This game is a perfect example of a person who created something who truly cared about what they were making, only someone with that level of passion can create something so addictively embracing and make it seem effortless.

I never knew indie games could be this good before I played it. Love seeing so many people enjoy this absolute gem.
Hot take: the Grimm fights aren't actually that hard they just take time to learn. They're designed like dances and you need to learn the steps to keep up with him.
I agree once you memorize them they’re pretty east
Same with Pure Vessel. It’s like the perfect level of difficulty
the exact reason why the grimm fights are my favorite! Nkg is so perfect.
I agree on Grimm but NKG is still tough as it's extremely punishing with 2 masks of damage and minimal time to heal.
What..
It's times like this where I realize how insanely good Charlie is at video games, I remember stuff like Radiance and NKG taking me hours to beat and even having to upgrade my gear sometimes, but he makes it look so easy. Regardless, it's so much fun to watch him play my favorite game of all time
7:43 sickest transition ever
Love how he picks up hollow knight one day and immediately goes for all the dream bosses on one nail upgrade, longnail and compass. When even I struggle on dream bosses with fully upgraded nail and spells, 7 masks and as many charm notches as I can get my hands on. A true gamer.
this wasnt his first playthru, he play HK a few years ago.
