Hollow Knight Was The Best-Selling Game On The European Switch eShop In August

Hi guys, created an account just to let you know that the links are a bit off
Apart from that - I'm looking forward to the Hollow Knight physical release, anyone knows when will it happen for Europe?

Got 5 of them, but only Hollow Knight as a download, all the rest physical.
When I got my gold points for Owlboy I got 63 points, which I thought was alright
@ryancraddock Sort out the game links

Nice to see Okami HD at fourth place !

Not EU but I bought it. Seems it was also NA's top dl game as well to me. It's been near or at number one the whole month.

It's a darn good game. I still have to do Godmaster and some of the Grimm Troupe as well as beating several of the optional bosses (which are ridiculously hard) and getting a few more collectibles. I do think for a Metroidvania though, it may be a little TOO long because sometimes I feel myself just wanting to finish the game already. It's easily the longest Metroidvania I've ever played.

Into the Breach ?????????????

It was released on the 28th. That's amazing it's that high!

I still can't quite get a feel for Hollow Knight. Everyone says it's amazing....and I just can't get a footing on it. It did make me finally open up Steamworld Dig 2, though, so that was super worth it

Deserved! Been my most played Switch game of 2018 for sure! God maker is such a great send off to a game punching so above its weight.

@NEStalgia It's very linear until you beat Hornet, and then it begins to open up. It's quite addictive even though it's quite tough in areas.

Well, one Hollow Knight was mine

I'm currently sitting at 40 hours played and I still have a long way to go. I'm somewhat of a hoarder so this game is very satisfying to play. Many things to discover and such amazing characters.

I bought 7 of the top 15, but not all in August. Still, i feel good to be a part of something great!

@OveDue what game are you even talking about?

Struggled with it as first but now it is my fav game of the year so far, so much depth for such a basic game, I get the Metroidvania thing now!

I thought indies were evil?

salt and sanctuary completely slipped under my radar somehow! looks really good despite NL giving it the worst score on Metacritic 22% below the average!

@Toadie I've still to pick that up,along with Salt and Sanctuary too. My backlog is too much already and i can't leave MHGU alone at the moment either

My favorite game I’ve played this year

I've enjoyed Dead Cells immensely. Hollow Knight was too punishing for my taste and skill. Will pick up Into the breach at some point.

@NEStalgia I feel the same way, this type of game would normally be something I'd eulogise over but a few hours in and I have little desire to continue. The Messenger however is probably the best game I've played this year

Hollow Knight is a must play game on Switch. Whoever doesn't play it, is missing out on a masterpiece.

Thanks to the reduced price
It's well deserved, such a great game

It's a masterpiece, it has to have over a million downloads on the Switch eShop, I'm sure they're delighted. Great to see Monster Hunter there too considering it only just arrived at the end of August. Okami HD has done very well too, Capcom taking note I hope.

Bought this game last week (on Mexican eShop) and gotta say it is the first Metroidvania (whatever that means) that has had me playing it intensely. It is hard but also very rewarding. I may suck at it but I'll keep playing it until I beat it.

am i the only person that finds hollow knight controls janky?

I think you meant to say that the sale made the game more of a steal.

50 hours in and I don't feel like $15 was enough.

Hollow Knight is a pretty good game.

Team Cherry “Nail”d it! 😉

I don't know if that is due to how good it is, or if there simply hasn't been much in the way of competition. Probably both.

@NEStalgia I have not played it, but I decided to buy on sale. I have a feeling it will be the type that I okay for a few hours, get frustrated and quit. I will like it tho.... But not be inspired, dedicated or in the general mood to play....

I have really enjoyed the game so far - I am stuck at the minute though and I'm only 11hrs in... Sure it will be something small I'm missing but not sure what. I really want to sink sometime into this and actually complete a game lol.. still not completed BOTW 😮

@Ubik Hollow Knight controls like a dream. Tight as can be.

Totally guessing here, but is this maybe the first time you've used the d-pad on a pro controller for a demanding game? The first run of that hardware has janky d-pads. Had to look online and do an internal alteration (covering contact points part way with tape and even adding a little material under the center of the rocker) when playing Celeste. Everything else on the pro controller is fantastic, but that's the worst d-pad from Nintendo, ever.

@NEStalgia I found the beginning to be a bit off. There's no story hook, just blank mystery about what to do and what's happening. I had the feeling the game would be smaller, so I felt like I was covering a big percentage of the map — I wasn't — that all felt similar looking. Plus it was dreary. I just wasn't super into it.

That is probably its biggest flaw, however, and as it progresses, there is much to love. It is one of my favorite games ever, now. 70 hours in and I just don't want to complete it because I don't want it to end.

The sale is what got me to pick it up.

It has great controls, nice graphics, a good sound track, and is too long, too unforgiving, and a bit overrated. It's solid, but it's not Symphony of the Night or Super Metroid.

Hollow Knight’s fantastic. I purchased it before it went on sale and feel it was severely underpriced. I’d happily pay more for it and will undoubtedly be following TC’s future releases. Easily one of the best games I’ve played for a long, long time.

@Giygas_95 I have that feeling every hour

@aaronsullivan overall I am happy with the controls, but sometimes I swear there is some bad latency. I rarely use the dpad simply for comfort and you are correct, worst dpad ever from the company that used have a monopoly on tight dpads.

@xpromisedx What do you think?

@Tibob Wow I didn't even notice that until I saw your comment... That's actually darned impressive. An indie STRATEGY game of all things, released with 3 days left in August, hitting 12th most sold game on the EU eshop in August...

That's actually crazy, and I'm happy for the devs, can't imagine how proud they are with results like these
