Hollow Knight

Hollow Knight is an action-adventure Metroidvania 2D platformer game developed by Team Cherry. This game was developed in Unity and every bit of the environment was hand-painted. It has some amazing graphics with interesting gameplay and soundtrack. It also has a really good story content that keeps the player immersed throughout the game. This game had some really interesting character animations that I used as a reference for my last week’s work. Rather than focusing on the main character’s animations, I mostly focused on NPC’s animation, as they were closer to what I was looking for. The big boss villains had good jump, attack, and move animations that I used as a reference to finesse my animations. This game shows us the potential of what can be created inside of Unity. Like the Lost Crypt game that I looked at a couple of weeks ago, this game also looks stunning because of how the environments and the lights are set up. And this game can be used as one of the best games to look for to see what one can do inside the Unity engine.
