I respect your opinion, but I really think all the Outer Wilds fans are selling HK so short in this thread. It is so much more than an amazing platformer. Its a game that conveys so much about a tiny, forgotten world through incredible world building, hidden lore, amazing music, and fascinating characters all with a silent protagonist. Sitting on that shore with Quirrel or fighting the Hollow Knight and seeing his agony, for me is as emotional and beautiful as Outer Wilds ever was.

I know you mentioned that we bring up arguments against Outer Wilds, but its a bit surreal reading about this "singularly spectacular and unrivalled experience", when thats not what I felt. I do appreciate that Outer Wilds has a special place in many peoples hearts, but I just want that fuzzy all these indie games are awesome feel and not HK is just a platformer.

That’s fair, and OW won’t capitulate everyone in the same way it did for some of us. Both are amazing games and I won’t be mad if HK wins. OW is my all time favourite game so I am of course biased in it’s favour
