Absolutely marvellous

This is an absolutely charming and fantastic game -- one of the best I've played in years. The world in which it takes place is beautiful, mysterious and melancholic, aided by a wonderful soundtrack and gorgeous visuals. The gameplay is absolutely tip-top and the way your abilities evolve through the game is perfect. It's hard, but not Cuphead-hard, and it's a manageable level of frustration that keeps you trying. I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes platformers and generally anyone who likes a polished game. One or two tips I would offer to new players that I wish I'd been made use of from the start: (1) Use markers constantly and use different ones for different things. You discover a fairly big world quickly, but you will be limited with exploring it until you gain certain abilities -- so no doubt you will find yourself forgetting about unexplored areas quickly if you don't use markers to remember to come back to things. (2) Take time to listen and read everything. The story is not presented linearly -- it's also unravelled slowly and bit by bit. It's tempting to just get carried away with the button-bashing and running to the next thing, but the story is great in its own right. (3) Rescue the grubs! They're just lovely, as is the Grubfather. All the best on your adventures, little knight. :D

Gorgeous but tedious

There are many great things about this game: - the gameplay is responsive and precise - the art, music, and sound are all top notch - everything is wonderfully crafted, the devs obviously cared a lot BUT Jesus does its pacing suck. Being a Metroidvania, this game expects a lot of backtracking and fighting the same enemies over and over and over and over again. Fine, except unlike Metroid games, you move slower, primarily fight with melee, and have to cross MANY damage sponge enemies repeatedly. What really rubs salt into the would is that save points are much more spread out AND the game is MUCH more unforgiving than Metroid (5 hits and you're dead, and there are no health pickups). The problem with this design is that all fights, especially boss fights, rely on pattern-recognition and trial-and-error. But the game punishes you for for error by taking away your resources and your time. Save points are often placed pretty far from bosses, which is an issue because it breaks up how much practice time you get with tough bosses and pads out the gameplay like crazy. What makes this worse is that you can't mess up on your way TO the boss because you have so little health and the bosses are huge damage sponges, so every boss fight becomes a war od attrition that is as nerve-wrecking as it is tedious. I don't blame the game for being difficult, challenge is nice. I blame the game for wasting your time doing and patting out its run time with your failure.

Great little game

I never thought I will be back again enjoying old style 2D indie game, but here I am... Finished Hollow Knight for at least a dozen times. First walkthrough took me over 90 hours, subsequent are much shorter - 12 to 15 hours each... It's possible to finish the game for the most obvious ending in under 4 hours, but you'll be robbing yourself of much more exiting experiences and 3 secret endings. Try to find the ruins of White Palace and awake your dream nail And by all means, don't want countless YouTube walkthroughs, you'll be robing yourself of 90% of the game excitement. Good luck and enjoy!

Masterpiece

Music is breathtaking, graphic is fenomenal, difficulty is good but can be too hard sometimes, lore is "hidden" like in dark souls, but when you uncover it, its interesting. Overall, this game is sooo good I whish I could forget about it so I can play it again. Solid 10/10.

One of the best platformers out there

If you like 2D platform games, search no more. This game has it all. Insteresting story about a world that once thrived (what happened?). The gradual build up of difficulty and gathering new skills etc. is very good, the pacing is perfect. The world is huge and 'continuous', by that I mean there are pretty much no loading screens when travelling around the world. There's a clever fast-travel system. Many interesting characters throughout the world (some friendly, some hostile) Some bosses are really, really challenging. There many places to explore, each with their unique atmosphere and enemies. This game is a true platformer gem. Definitely buy it if it's on a discount, but considering the content and quality you get, it's worth more than even its full price if you ask me.
