HORNET WALLPAPER HOLLOW KNIGHT UPDATE

Buying the accessories is a one-time affair, but for every new zone in the game the 'find the cartrographer and buy the map from him'-thing needs to be done EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Then you buy the map from him, then he directs you to a vendor in the starting town whom sells all the accessories for the map, like markers, the option to update the map and even something as basic as being able to tell where you are on the map has a price tag on it. In order to get a map you need to find the cartographer. The controls are simple and fluid enough that a keyboard works fine.īut sadly Hollow Knight has two major problems. Enemies are varied enough that things never get dull, though I have to remark that getting above enemies and hacking downwards seems to be a universally viable tactic. With combat being the centerpoint of the game, it's good to know that they didn't screw that up. It does absolutely nothing new, so the big question is whether it does something well. This game rips off Aquaria wholesale and then steals many pages from Dark Souls, both in terms of gameplay and aesthetics. I'm squarely in the Hollow Knight camp, though I did enjoy Ori for what it was. Which one you like more honestly depends on what you expect from a game like this. You always have multiple places to go, and going places almost always results in finding stuff that opens up more places to go. It has practically no handholding, and precious little guidance - there's not even automapping by default, you need to find a map dude in an area and buy it from him, and you need to devote resources to even have your current position be visible on your map as well. It has some decent-to-good platforming and some nice combat (much better than Ori in this aspect, especially the enemy design), but first and foremost it's about making your way through a sprawling, interconnected world. Hollow Knight, on the other hand, is a game about exploration first and foremost. It is, however, very good as a platformer (though combat is really shallow), excellently paced, and has great graphics and music.

The game feels like someone took the idea of a metroidvania and streamlined everything that makes one different from a linear platformer out of it (and the developer's opinion on Hollow Knight supports this strongly imo). Ori is honestly a pretty bad metroidvania - there's little freedom or sense of exploration, developers clearly expect you to take a predetermined path through the game, and rewards for backtracking are mundane at best.

Ori and Hollow Knight are very different games.
