This game saved my life.

I am 42.

My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and adopted our son together. They are now both 4 years old.

When we were going through our separation, I found myself lost and miserable. I was self destructive. I got so mad one day from everything spiraling out of my control that I punched some concrete in a moment of overwhelming emotion. That caused me to break my 5th metacarpal in my right hand... my working hand... my games hand.. the hand that I held and carried my children to bed with.. The hand I desperately needed to make sure I could continue to provide..

After learning of the severity of my self-inflicted damage, I was borderline suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man with no history of depression or anxiety. I have never had fits of rage, or been one to break down and cry, but I was in a low spot that just really buried me from being able to see the light on the other side.

Having nothing better to do, I searched for a game I could play, ONE HANDED while I recovered. I somehow stumbled upon this game and read some of the reviews. I decided that it had to be worth a shot... I must admit, I didn't beat the game, or play nearly as long as some of you. In fact, I may have only played this game a day or two.. With that being said, after doing so, I had a new found joy and hope for life. I was able to put behind me the pain and suffering that had been cast over me. I was able to experience other peoples joy and happiness. I was able to see the fruits of my "labor". I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ minutes to this music long enough to realize that I was going to be okay.

After coming to that realization, I turned the game off, and I went back to work. It hurt my hand like hell but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so damn sorry for myself, and I became the father I needed to be in that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving as.

Today, I am close friend with my kids mother. We don't fight, or argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents, and friends.

I now have 3 kids. My third child is, wait for it, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my own separation, and we just stumbled in to each others life unexpectedly. We have been in a relationship for a year now, and are very happy together.

Moral of the story, you never know what life holds in store for you, and if I would have given up when all the odds were stacked against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that.

Thank you.

From the deepest corners of deep nest to the extreme beauty of the queen's gardens these are my opinions for hollow knight.
Hollow Knight is a Metroidvania game set in the beautiful world of hollownest a kingdom full of bugs of different kinds. You wake up in Dirtmouth see a cool and bored NPC named Elderbug and wonder what's wrong with this life. You descend into the forgotten crossroads and go swish flicc boom bam !! kill all the bugs get a lot of geo and die and lose it all, respawn in the nearest bench go to find your soul and fail and lose all geo and then rage quit the game. It has a lot and i mean like really a lots of enemies and bosses which makes you keep playing the game. Even after getting all the upgrades, charms, defeating all the main bosses there's a lot more the game offers. Collectibles like the grubs which offer very useful rewards except geo of course lol. After doing all this ♥♥♥♥ and spending like 50-60 hrs there comes the Godmaster DLC providing more content (really geez this game never runs out of content) now it's time to rage harder. You do the swish and flicc again and lose and rage quit and the cycle continues, after some centuries the time comes when you defeat the first pantheon and come to know about the other two other pantheons and you get to think why am i even in existence anymore.
TBH Hollow Knight is a very impressive piece of art and also very affordable. Buy It and start Rage Quiting.
Bappa Nada !!
