Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Why Isn't Hollow knight getting as much talked about as Ori and the Blind Forest got Praised for It's exclusivity as Xbox?

 

Should Hollow Knight get as much praise as Cuphead?

Yes 19 57.58%
 
No 14 42.42%

Because all of it's hype has passed. It was released like more than a year ago on PC and it was already critically acclaimed then.

Probably because Cuphead and Ori were brand new games when released on the xbox while Hollow Knight is a year-and-a-half old PC port. That being said, it was #2 in the US eShop last week so people care about it.

Hollow Knight is a Nintendo Switch Exclusive and It's at 93 meta strange ? Is it the type of game the masses like ? Cuphead another Xbox indie Exclusive gets praised on Xbox platform ? I guess it's preference?

It is like 2nd on the best sellers on the eshop for me. It is doing really well on the switch pretty sure it is well liked. 



 

Almost 30 hours into it. Such a fantastic experience!



As others have said, it's an old port.

"Hollow Knight is a Nintendo Switch Exclusive"

heh.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Because Hollow Knight is an actual indie game and no one really cares about them.

Reviews dont necessarily mean better. Ori to me is one of best Indie games iv played this generation while CupHead doesnt do it for me and they both have similar reviews.
Hollow Knight is amazing but even if its sitting on a 99 meta, it won't make me change my mind.



Its because of gameplay and graphics.... theres a vast gulf there.

 

^ this is not even remotely close how gorgeous Ori and the blind forrest looks.

Have you seen Hollow Knight in motion and with sound? That screenshot doesn't do it justice at all. Ori may have a few more flashy 3D effects but at least Hollow Knight looks visually cohesive.

But let's not kid ourselves, game quality has absolutely nothing to do with the different popularity here.
