Someone in the comments pointed it out and I always want to make sure I get all the facts straight, so I wanted to correct it here. What indie game would you like to see me cover next?

Hollow Knight really made me feel a sort of happiness and intrigue for a game that I've never felt before. Not only did it hook me with the art (being an artist myself, I was kinda blown away with the detail and love that you could see was put into it. And I LOVE 2D art with a PASSION), the music, the game play, and the characters, but it made me feel so excited to do EVERYTHING the game had to offer. With an OG save of 300+ hours, I have so many memories of the incredible first experience. It also made me have a large appreciation for bugs LMAO But I also picked this game up at a time where anxiety was really bothering me and I was having a lot of personal issues that I really just wanted to get away from, and HK was the perfect outlet for that

In addition, the low price of the first game was one of the biggest draws. "If you have any doubts about whether or not you'll like this masterpiece, just buy it.

Congrats on this video! It made me appreciate this game even more!!! I got this game as a gift on my birthday this year... and I'm obsessed. I love video games but I have never been too skilled, yet this game it's difficult but leaves the door open for you to improve easily and beat it. I think I hadn't spend more than 30 minutes in a boss. I lose but the bosses gives you enough time to heal, and hit and that helps you feel you can do it and go back every time. It's a challenge you know you can win, but you need to keep trying.

I always wondered about this game and keep mixing it up with Shovel Knight because of the titles. I think I'll consider this for my switch. And great video as always!!

Thank you! I play it on the Switch and it’s such a beautiful (and challenging) game. I would definitely recommend it if you don’t mind a more difficult game.

6:00 every battle mistake I make in this game I can only blame it on myself, its one of the many things i love about hollow knight and I never knew it was so deliberate

Well made video! Very interesting all throughout!

« With Silksong at the horizon. » What does it hurt so much to hear that when we still don’t have a release date…

Amazing video my dude! I am very much considering buying this game on the Nintendo Switch, it seems like a great game on a handheld! (or I might wait for the sequel, we'll see haha) Also - your animation and narration is great, as always!

I'm playing it on my switch and it's totally worth it. I actually regret not buying the physical copy which came with a bunch of stuff. I just have the digital game.

Thanks man! I’ve honestly only played it on my Switch in handheld mode, it feels so perfect on a smaller screen.

Just buy it! I think playing it in handheld is actually easier, you’re able to take in all that’s happening on the smaller screen.

Don't just wait for the sequel, the characters, gameplay, and world will be completely different so you should play both.

They bamboozeld us so hard with sliksong trailer.

A game that is worth 60, is only 15

I'm 10 minutes in, just wanted to comment and say what a stellar job you did with your research, writing, voice-over, presentation, flow etc. This is the level of quality I aspire to achieve.

I really love channels that tell us the story behind a game and how it was made.

Love Team Cherry so much I wish they have more money to make advertisement, so many people will know this masterpiece game. I will help spreading this game in my friends, even my country
