Wonder if pack 3 is the Forest of Bones.

New Friends – Grimm’s clan may appear scary but they aren’t all bad. Get ready to befriend a new bunch of weirdos, including one who offers a very special service for players flush with Geo!

The game could definitely use a money sink. I wonder what it'll be.

got my new pc. been wanting to try this out. should I wait for the DLC? IDK how the game is structured, but is this planned to be a standalone expansion, or just a new area of the main map?

 

[hajro]

Its just some extra content in the overall game world, the 1st major expansion is going to be a new character with a different skillset and playthrough differences probably.

Map Markers – In a world as big as Hallownest finding your way is the greatest challenge of all, and you’ll now have an extra tool in your cartographic journeys with custom Map Markers! Place them anywhere on your maps to remember a point of interest, a difficult foe or an item just out of reach.

Well I'll be damned.

 

[HoboForEternity]

Cool. I admit, in the end i felt kinda tired of it. 40+ hours spent for a genre that is usually 20 hours long a single campaign. The game is good overall, kinda overstayed its welcome, but enjoyable and reasonay challenging.

can't wait to try this out. glad I waited.

Beat the game one hundo the other day. Great game - but isn't the art style, the voices and the theming a bit off-putting? Everything is obviously of high quality, but it is as if it is trying to appeal to an immature niche, it's infantilized. Makes me feel like a degenerate for playing it.

Did none of you suckas play IWBTG? White Palace was way too short, what was there should have been just the introduction to the level.

The art style and theme are great. What did you want? Something "gritty" and "realistic"?

Something less creepy and perverse. I think the game would have been better if they had aimed it at children instead of man children.

I too only play mature games for mature gamers like myself, who am a mature gamer.

 

[Ivan]

just started my virgin playthrough. after 3 hours of, this is me:

game is fucking gorgeous. music is great. You can attack up and down. your life recovery + mana use the same resource.

 

[Valky]

I saw there was a new free update to the game. Anyone have any experience with that yet? Can I play the stuff without having to replay the game?

 

[sullynathan]

Another 30 hours to go

 

[Wulfstand]

Bought a controller the other day just so I could play this + Cuphead and I have to say that I'm really happy I chose to focus on Hollow Knight first.

TC out!

I still have some unfinished business in steel soul mode. This might be a good reason to get back into it.

Something less creepy and perverse.

But isn't it the point of this artstyle?

 

[Damned Registrations]

Playing this again after playing nudoom made me realize how brilliant the health system is in this. Being on one hitpoint in a dangerous area or fight and having to land some hits to heal up is a great way to make things tense. Being tied to mana is even better, I often end a fight wounded and low on mana because I panicked and used a fireball to finish it safely.

 

[Sigourn]

I finished the game yesterday at 80% completion. Got the bad ending, but nothing compared to Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee's. I think the best thing it took from Dark Souls was its cast of characters with little to say, but with a lot of personality. Really underrated aspect of the Souls series (which dates back to King's Field).

To be honest, I can't tell whether I liked this game or not. I don't think I'll ever replay it. Part of it is because "exploration" is only rewarded in the way of places to see. And I can't say I was too fond of the artstyle of the game, that is, its handpainted look. I agree with Unkillable Cat in that attacking from above is by far the best tactic you can use in 95% of situations, with major exceptions being boss battles. It sucks that from beginning to end, my Knight just basically got stronger but was essentially doing the same shit he was doing since the beginning of the game: slash at the enemy. As your weapon gets stronger, you also lose the need to rely on combos, meaning you never really have to git gud™.

Maybe Metroidvanias just aren't my thing.

 

[Okagron]

Honestly one of my favorite Metroidvanias of all time. Got 106%, just missing the Trial of Fools. Really excited for the Gods and Glory expansion because it's adding a much needed Boss Rush mode.

What? Combat evolves with abilities you unlock like shadow dash, double jump, charged attacks, various spells and exotic charm combinations.

My favorite part is the hot wife who lives in the small house.

what he's saying is that when you git gud you stop using shit like spells, charged attacks, and mostly focus on hitting the attack button and mixing in jumps here and there

Yeah, the same thing applies to the benefits of exploring. You don't just get to see new areas, you get totally new abilities.
