Episode 61 - Loretouched - Hollow Knight

Wealth, glory, enlightenment... that podcast seems to promise all
things! Welcome back to the podcast (and apologies for how long of
a break we've had)! Today, we're going to be talking about Hollow
Knight, an action-heavy Metroidvania that's an overwhelmingly
impressive feat coming from a small indie team. Every corner of the
world Hollow Knight contains is teeming with life, or at least
undeath, and this sense of discovery drives engagement all the way
through the game. We'll discuss all the ideas this game brings to
the table, and how even our complaints seem small in comparison to
the scale of this game's accomplishments. We talk about the
experience focused design of the game's world and combat
encounters, using vague hints at backstory to further a mood, and
tapping into your latent instincts to be a high school bully.
Thanks for checking us out again this week, and be sure to check in
next time when we talk about Monster Hunter World!
