Hollow Knight: Gods & Nightmares
Nightmare-fuel
Could it also have been the four free expansions that helped the developers secure the favor of the players? Who knows, who knows. As far as I know, I haven't played them, but after listening to the OST, I've got a bit of an urge to pick up the game again. Meanwhile, the music for the expansions was also available, albeit as a paid album titled Gods & Nightmares.
However, there is nothing nightmarish about the 15 pieces - on the contrary. Larkin continues the successful course of the score of the main game, but this time sails a little closer to the winds of modern convention. This turns The Grimm TroupeChristopher Larkin and Nightmare KingChristopher Larkin into a clash between metal and Dracula, while Pale CourtChristopher Larkin is no less bloodsucking, but with its mixture of strings and piano it is more classical.
Alongside the latter and Gods & GloryChristopher Larkin my favorite track on this album is Daughter of HallownestChristopher Larkin, which is a somewhat more liberated version of the Hornet'sChristopher LarkinHollow Knight-theme. The track is played in a duel with the boomerang-faced accompanist, and you can see what that looks like ony YouTube ... makes your fingers hurt just watching it.
