I just hope that silk song can capture the same magic as the first game.

Whenever I feel sad, I listen to The Dung Defender theme and instantly cheer up. I remember laughing through that entire fight.

This was hands down one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. From the editing to the music to even starting and ending with hollow knight resonated with me so much

Every time the City of Tears plays, I feel blessed by the angelic vocals :)

Hollow Knight is an ode to solitude, a perfect journey for the lonely souls. My love for it exploded in mid 2020 when I was working in retail in the middle of the pandemic. What a relief this game became. I'll be forever thankful to its soundtrack to soothe my soul in a world of darkness.

I remember seeing hollow knight in GameStop without any knowledge of what it was, and decided to buy it. I’m glad I bought it. The game had me so immersed, especially the feels and emotions told me the music (especially sealed vessel). I now have 112% completion, and the game was the best thing I’ve ever played

The fact that 3 people managed to create such a masterpiece still amazes me.

You can just imagine hearing the sound effects of all the enemies while listening to this. In the mosspath, I hear the squeaking cries and rustling of the little bush creatures, in the fungal wastes I can hear the squishy floating of those little balloon bugs, in the city of tears I can hear the footsteps and grunting of the mad citizens. What a great game with great sound design.

I'm about to put my knowledge of Operating Systems to the test in this exam. It's like fighting Nightmare King Grimm for the first time—once you know the moveset, it's pretty easy lol. But you must always stay focused on these types of exams.

I went through an extremely painful breakup while listening to this soundtrack for months and months. Now enough time has passed for me to be able to look back. This soundtrack encapsulates these feelings so well, a forgotten kingdom, once rich and full of life - reduced to mere ruins and memories. I still think about her, but I know my thoughts and memories will be gone sometime, like tears in rain.

I just want to say this is one of the best videos I’ve watched in a while. You captured exactly how I feel about these types of games that I hold so close to my heart. They may feel lonely, but I always find comfort in the solitude. Like when I found the first healing pond in hollow knight with the big statues and waterfalls in the background. I stayed in there for nearly ten minutes and fell in love with the game in that moment. Now it’s one of my favs. Thank you for making this, I’m glad there are others who share this passion for these kinds of games.

this game..its something so special..i have never had the feeling of curiosity, sadness, and just sheer fun in any other game. ever. the feeling of finding something new, or uncovering a new secret is something that i will never be able to truly feel as much as i did with this game. truly a masterpiece.

The second half of "Sealed vessel" never fails to give me goosebumps. It's amazing what music can do to you huh
