Hollow Knight is a 2D action-adventure game set in the underground kingdom of Hallownest, a vast and interconnected world full of insects and other creatures.

    (oliver pin this) ATTENTION! DO NOT SPOIL ANYTHING, AND NO BACKSEATING, INCLUDING GAMEPLAY TIPS. some spoilers to drill this comment into people's head when watching this series: - Gameplay tips include combat/movement tutorials, locations, charm builds, secrets, etc. ESPECIALLY POGOING, DO NOT TELL HIM. HE DOES NOT NEED OR WANT IT. - He does not need to know all about the lore. The game gives enough hints for him to come up with a solid theory. Even if he misunderstood something, that's the channel's charm.

    Ah, yes. The three stages of starting a hollow knight playthrough: “what am I?” “That guy kind of looks like me…” and “everything kind of looks like me.”
  • If you thought subnautica had bugs, man you're in for something. This is, without a doubt, the buggiest game I've ever played.
  • Yo WHAT?! You've made series about literally my favourite 3D game AND my favourite 2D game!? This just sealed the deal and you're now my favourite youtuber
  • @HannahG_x
    "i dont have high hopes for this game" that is perfect because this masterpiece will blow your mind even more 😁😁
  • There's tons of secrets in Hollow Knight. Secrets upon secrets. You won't find them all and that's okay. Definetly worth looking them up after though!
  • @kingofdefense
    If Quirrel came to visit the temple and has a hat in the shape of one of the masks maybe there's a gift shop hidden somewhere.

    My son talked me into playing this game. 2D games were never really my thing either. But Hollow Knight was a great game & it was a wonderful way to bond with my 13 yr old. I hope you enjoy it!
  • @Enigmahhh
    Masterful introduction yourself too, Oliver! Hopefully this game can break any lingering doubts you may have about 2D games. Heck am I excited to see where this playthrough goes. This game has a very special place in the hearts of many including myself. We hope you enjoy your time in Hallownest!

    1:35 Notepad and metroidvanias is a match made in heaven! 6:05 Team Cherry is basically 3 dudes, making masterpieces in their basement. 8:56 I've noticed your confusion in the Subnautica playthrough, so I want to share with you a little trick. In order to remember, which one is which, just take T in stalactite, it looks like it faces below from the roof, that's a stalacTite. Stalagmite is kinda awkward but it's basically (M) two spikes on the floor, facing the roof.

    Hollow knight was the first game of the genre I played, didn’t really know what to expect but I loved it. Hope the backseaters won’t be too bad this game, because I’ve seen a lot of people backseat this game especially
  • @Tagyru
    Dude, I finished your Outer Wilds playthrough minutes ago and now you are posting this? They are 2 of my favourite games. I am so excited.
  • @melgarchris
    Can't wait for this. One of the best games of all time and a personal favorite! Also, please share your theories on the lore as you get further!
  • @birdfarrelly
    To witness secrets sealed,one must endure the harshest punishment. Best of luck dude . This one's a banger
  • @LB_
    It's so satisfying to see you enjoying the atmosphere of the game and being so interested and excited by the things you're experiencing. How'd you get to be so good at emoting for lets plays?
  • Just know the beginning can feel slow for some ppl, but trust in all the love for this amazing game
  • @rseichter
    You immediately spotted the orange eyes, and even important details of Quirrel's headgear. Very perceptive of you, I like it.
  • @SarahMaeBea
    I can tell I'm going to enjoy a let's play when the player takes the time right away to give initial thoughts based on their background knowledge and the opening screen. It means they're approaching the game thoughtfully, analytically, and with a willingness to get on board. You haven't even hit New Game and I'm already glad I found this! EDIT: omg AND taking notes? easy sub
  • Nicely done figuring out the up- and down-slash in your first hour!
  • @Danzo046
    Oh yeah you're gonna love this, such an incredible game
