How in the hell did I miss this kickstarter?!? This has been such a f'ing amazing game! I'm near full game completion and just went and picked up one of the 4000 kickstarter CE's via ebay. I have had such a blast with this and can't wait for the new dlc!

I've been staying up till 2-4am the past few days playing. This is definitely one of those games that I just can't put down. If you haven't played yet, make it a priority!

This game absolutely makes it into my top 25!

I put 55 great hours into this on Switch (not doing everything still)

This one is probably in my top 3 favorite indie games along with Shovel Knight and Undertale

I tried it a few months back but couldn't get into it. I think I just wasn't in the right mood at the time, so I'm going to give it another shot later this year.

I played about halfway through on pc before my laptop crapped out. Hoping it will go on sale again soon on Switch. What I played was really good.

I loved Shovel Knight as well, been wanting to go back for a second round with the new content. Undertale ... haven't heard of that one. Must look into it!

I think I'm at like ~45 hours and all I have left is 3rd round at the Colosseum (so frustrating), Nightmare King Grimm (ugh) and the Godhome DLC (haven't started). Well, and the final boss!

Alright, bought it!

Yeah I saw the DLC news, perfect timing to be wrapping up. I don't know If I should finish the main story or not? Assuming I should. You can resume playing even after finishing right?

Paid, but if I'm in. Hollow Knight was well worth the 15 bux I paid

Hollow Knight is amazing. On my first completion, I clocked 26.5 hours with 76% completion. I'm up to 30 hours with 84% completion now.

Haha I think I'm on like hour 6 of collesum (3rd round). Always dumb mistakes.

I didn’t like how long it takes you to travel to some places and not knowing where the heck to go. Also, not enough stations to revive and having to backtrack when you die sucks. It had moments of briliance for me but got sick of it after halfway through the game

You must've been doing something wrong as there are mostly shortcuts to every boss in the game.

Yeah I know. I had lots of shortcuts but there was still plenty of backtracking.

I would have liked to have seen something near end game that allowed you to quick travel to benches. I enjoy back tracking, but there definitely is a lot and sometimes at far distances between stags.

Dreamgate.

Warp before a boss room, or anywhere.

Haha after multiple days of anger, I sat down and did the collesum without breaking a sweat on first try. Now off to get void heart and finish the game.

Working on this now, last thing prior to god home. Definitely a patience battle. Tried 4x so far, finding that quick focus, deep focus are great to have. Difficult to decide if defense or offense is better.

So I got Undertale per recommendation here. Ehhhhh? Like an hour and a half in. It has a charm to it but is it worth the time?

Yeah. It took 2 playthrough before I truly appreciated it as a gem that it is. The games 4-6 hours long

Would it be worth doing a Nindies thread? Pick a game a month from the eshop that's well reviewed and on sale?

It's worth the time. The boss fights get harder and harder, and the bullet hell style combat is so cool. Like everyone else has said, it's hard to say what to expect or look forward to without spoilers, but as a player where the "charm" was not enough for me, yes, please keep going. It's worth it.

Hollow Knight has been on my list of "games I want to play but just never seem to get around to" list since it launched. Another game I just ticked off that list is Dead Cells, which started in early access a couple years ago and came out in full last year. Been hearing nothing but good things since it came out but I only just started that game up a few days ago, and it's fantastic. Basically elements of Castlevania, Rogue Legacy, and Dark Souls smushed together. It's on the big three consoles and PC; highly recommend checking it out.

I thought Undertale was definitely over-rated, but I did enjoy Hollow Knight quite a bit.

It was always physical for Switch AFAIK.
