Quick Questions XIII: Answers Return

We had a thread on Hollow Knight here: A Cool Grotto Full of Bugs: Hollow Knight . I posted a bunch of detailed takes in it as I was playing it.

I think some people go overboard calling it a masterpiece (it does have a few problems and its stabs at transcendence only partially succeed), but I really enjoyed it. It’s a cohesive, flowing experience that’s more than the sum of its parts (kind of the exact opposite of Blasphemous, since you just posted about it in the other thread). It’s original especially in its approach to map design, and also in its use of low-detail 3d artwork and lighting to produce an especially large and varied world.
