Third game please I beg

It's a fantastic game.

Quickly and concisely: It builds upon the world Hollow Knight created. It adds to lore, expands the familiar systems, and gives you more of everything you liked about the original while kicking your ass that much harder.

It's fun. Extremely fun. Beautiful visually and audibly, and worth the wait.

I can't wait for DLC.

Edit after a while: I gotta say though, Hollow Knight is still my preferred.

I just can't forgive one thing. It's a spoiler though, so read at your own risk

I can't forgive that true final boss. Lace /AGAIN/. Not even a voided Silkmother? Really? But Lace again???? With barely a changed moveset? It sours the last act so much. All that buildup for something so lame. How do you go from the Hollow Knight into THE RADIANCE and decide your sequel is LACE FOR A THIRD TIME /rant

This is a game about "Responsibility."

Despite what you have heard about the loud majority of the players, this is a surprisingly lore-heavy game in the Main Story, but primarily focuses on the silly antics of super-human girls across a wacky high-tech city of Kivotos.

It's an important game. For me, and many others. It's about the absolute lengths one Sensei will go to ensure the evils of this world do not taint the pure innocence of the students.

From the very start, a special woman named the General Student Council President speaks to you about how her interference in the world brought ruin, and her impeding your duty -- your responsibilities -- brought this fate. So she begs of you: Do what you do best, without her this time.

You will awaken, you will quickly greet the chaos of Kivotos, and you will understand the silliness that awaits.

But as you bond and grow with your students in the Main Story, you realize how vulnerable the girls are, and how cruel beings from seemingly other worlds can be, trying to take advantage of the magic relating to the halos the girls bear.

It is your responsibility to protect the students. It is your responsibility to ensure that the cruelties of the world do not keep them down.

The moral of this game will always be that adults must be good role models. They must be responsible. They must protect the children.

This game is very special to me. I love it very much. I love the character Sensei is, and I always get excited when he steps up to defend the children with his own secrets.

Give it a shot. It gets...a lot darker than you might expect. But the burden of responsibility is a weight that, no matter if dead or alive, Sensei would gladly bear for his students.

Because that's his responsibility.

Toby Fox is a comedy genius.

I played through the friend pass, which itself is worthy of praise. One person having to buy the game for real is such an unfathomably generous and good thing to add to your co-op game. I love it.

Now. I'm someone who's played A Way Out and It Takes Two, and now this all with the same friend. We've watched the improvements this company has made to its true co-op adventure, and let me just say: What a damn fantastic company this is.

They are so creative, and their creativity shined the best in this game itself. The mixing and melding of fantasy and sci-fi through a cheesy premise with a godly execution. A sort of VR-style world that manifests the 'ideas' of those within it, giving rise to the stories that exist in the writer protagonist's minds. In addition, these stories being so personal allowed for very good 'show, don't tell' of the pasts of the characters, allowing them to grow by literally wading through the heavy waters of their minds and pasts turned into their respective genres.

A true co-op game in that your screen is almost always cut exactly down the vertical. You see what they see. It's a fun platformer with each player getting their own unique gimmick in every level, and each level even has small 'bubble' levels where you hop in and the devs just put forth an idea they had. I don't want to specify, since the "side stories" are really good and silly. Just treat them as extra fun, never really even serious.

The unique mechanics between players is fun and interesting, they have plenty of variety between levels, camera angles and gameplay variations between the different worlds...

And that end sequence. My god. I refuse to spoil it because it's just such a fantastic use the setting. It's a massive flex of the developers to meld the worlds so well and "play" with the idea itself.

This game is worth the price. It's silly, yet can take itself seriously, but more importantly than anything else: It's just a fun videogame. It's fun, enjoyable, and I happily savored every moment of it alongside my cherished friend.

I can't wait to see their next game, in however long it takes for them to make it.
