It doesn’t matter if Silksong is good or bapanada. It’s about the friendship we made along the way.

If you don’t earn that achievement, you won’t be allowed to play Silksong. It will pop up a message ordering you to go back into Hallownest and let Zote
die as it’s the official canon choice per Team Cherry.

I should play hollow knight on PC since I beat it on the switch and I look like a guy who hasn't even beaten hollow knight. What will all of my friends think about that???

Side note apparently Lone Fungus just came out of beta and is supposed to be a very Hollow Knight inspired metroidvania. I figured y'all might want to check it out.

Side side note. I got Grime and it's pretty fun so far

I picked up Lone Fungus and I don't think it's especially Hollow Knight inspired. It's also not nearly as polished. I am, however, enjoying myself maybe 5-6 bosses in.

Note I haven't played it yet and am just going off what my friends who have played it said. Its next on my list after Grime though.

I'm just about finished with Moonscars, which definitely has strong hollow knight vibes, and I think I'd recommend it. It's pretty short, maybe 10-12 hours according to the internet, and while it's not as good as hollow knight, it's still pretty solid.

It does have the dark souls bullshit of easily missable quests that break if you do the necessary steps out of order, but there are probably guides for that if you really care.

Ender Lilies is pretty solid if it hasn't been mentioned; lots of fun upgrades and an interesting story. Also you can summon a Fishman to punch people and that's always cool

Ender Lillies' whole deal where you don't attack but summon spirits to do so instead is not mechanically any different to a regular 2d metroidvania, but it feels different in a really cool way.

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight did a good job of filling the Hollow Knight shaped hole, though only briefly as it's not a very long game.

Excerpt from the OP of an Ender Lilies LP that never was and probably never will be:

Fedule posted:

Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights (2021, Adglobe, Live Wire, Binary Haze Interactive) is a game that after five minutes of play you will call "a Hollow Knight clone", after a few hours of play "a great Hollow Knight clone", as you approach the end "probably the best Hollow Knight clone ever made[/i]", and as the final credits roll "a shining exemplar of its form which happens to draw from many of the same aesthetic wells that inspired Hollow Knight but absolutely puts forth a character and identity all its own and which on reflection deserved far, far better than to continually be introduced by means of invocation of another, overwhelmingly more popular game by literally everybody who plays it, myself included, even as in the same breath we profess to love it on its own considerable merits", or something to that effect.

I don't see how it's a Hollow Knight clone at all outside of having a moody gothic artstyle, the platforming and combat feel completely different (and much worse) and the level design is much more like a igavania than Hollow Knight's fairly technical platforming world.

I got you.
That was kind of the joke, as I wrote it then; it's really not a clone, it just gives off this incredibly powerful aesthetic impression at the start, and there was a bit of buzz comparing the games when it launched, and that sticks with you and it's only on reflection after playing for a fair bit you see it's really totally different. A lot of it is really the imagery of a very dark background and a very bright main character sitting on a bench.

In my own experience - and maybe I need to play more games - but I feel like while there are many games that are like parts of hollow knight (either having inspired it or been inspired by it) there are no games that are really quite like Hollow Knight as an entire thing.
I can play other games that do things that Hollow Knight does and sometimes even better, but I can't think of any thing besides Hollow Knight itself that is that entire package and feel.
