But seriously, this game quickly became one of my all time favorites. Similar to the Dark Souls series, I initially gave up on this game after a few hours, only to pick it back up again a couple years later and absolutely loving it.

To me the best part of the game was the exploration. Not finding out where you are and discovering new areas and enemies, that feeling of relief when you find some singing bug, it was an unforgettable experience.

The combat mechanics are simple, but they can get pretty fun.

Nightmare King Grimm and Sisters of Battle

have become some of my favorite boss fights ever, mostly due to the rhythm and pacing of the battles.

The toughest achievements on this one for me were the Pantheon of Hallownest and the Coliseum of Fools. In the Coliseum, I died a lot in the final trial, particularly in that part with the two walls creating a tight space, no platform, spikes, and a swarm of mosquitos and maybe aspids as well. And the Pantheon… well, it’s the Pantheon…

Another game that got me a very similar vibe to HK was Ori and the Will of the Wisps. I played Ori on gamepass, though, so no achievements for me. Maybe some day I’ll try to play it again on steam for the 100%.

Anyway, that’s it for the 1st showcase here. I’ll try to post the ones I currently have every other day. Feel free to comment and post your own achievements too ^^
