Hollow Knight seems like mainstream game industry shit to me. Solid game, massive hype, lots of sales. And I wouldn't even remember it in a couple months if not for other people.
It's like how Shovel Knight is a really good platformer but then you play it and it's... just a good platformer. An indie gem! But also, something you've played before.
You know what AAA companies didn't do 20 years ago? Dwarf Fortress.
Shovel Knight is actually fantastic though. You have AAA industry vets failing to meet its standard. Hell, compare SK to Mighty No. 9. Even Megaman can't make a megaman as good as that anymore. Plus it isn't just Shovel Knight, it has the Plague Knight, Specter Knight, and King of Cards sequels which are all genuinely great retro platformers.
No argument about DF though, and I still need to pick that up now that it has an actual UI.
What games do you find memorable, out of curiosity? (It's likely this is a 'you' thing; HK and SK are very memorable to a lot of people, and certainly weren't cookie cutter industry shit. Just curious what does float your boat, though, if not them.)
Not him but:
Risk of rain (returns) Hades 1/2 Nebulous fleet command Star sector Homeworld 1, cataclysm (emergence), 2 Battletech (!!!!!!!) Spaz 1 (not 2!) Mechwarrior 2 Mechwarrior 5 mercs/clans Terraria FTL Steamworld games (all) Cortex command (interesting pile of shit) Kerbal Etc... So much.
More or less mainstream games: Helldivers2 (!!!) Xcom (ufo: enemy unknown) Xcom Xcom 2 Civilisation Etc..
With Games, like with all art, it's impossible to point to 1 or two which are the best. I've read many books, watched many films, series, plays, listened to music and played a lot of games.. i can't just pick one or two which where "the best". I can name a bunch which where great though.
In Markdown, you should add two spaces at the end of the line, to break it into the next line.
Are they still nerfing the fun out of Helldivers 2 every patch?
Definitely not. I can't remember the last time they did that. Seems like it's always charger-busting strats that get the bat.
Tell me you never properly played Hollow Knight without telling me you never properly played Hollow Knight ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
