Hollow Knight

If you like platform games with good story, music and graphic, this game is for you. I wouldn't expect such a great pleasure during my session of gameplay, and the price is so low that's ridiculously affordable for everyone.

I stumbled on Hollow Knight footage on Youtube and was intrigued by the art style. Even though I'm not great at platformers I decided to give this game a shot based on enthusiastic reviews and the low price. I don't regret it. I've put close to 80 hours altogether and 50 hours in a single, completionist run and I can probably count the times I was frustrated on the fingers of one of my hands. Hallownest sucks you in and doesn't let go. The game looks gorgeous, sounds amazing, the characters are memorable and the boss fights demanding but doable. I use a Logitech controller and the controls were fluid but every now and then I did gripe about the Knight not doing what I had pressed. It didn't happen too often to be even mildly frustrating. Worth mentioning is the care that the developers put into their release. Hollow Knight has seen three significant updates all for the base price of the game that flesh out the world and add new challenges that even experienced players can find challenging. The cycle is not over yet so I can't wait to see what's in store for upcoming DLC and will surely be returning to Hallownest at that point. I hghly recommend this title to any gamer with at least a passing interest in platformers. You won't be disappointed.

The game is beautifully made and can sometimes be challenging which is a big plus. I'm already 40h + on this game and still have enough to explore, I don't even know if I'v reached endgame yet. Would recommend to everyone. The price is definitely worth the money.

There is so much to love about this game. The art, the environments, the atomosphere, the precision, the exploration, the feeling of becoming a powerful entity in this world... It goes on and on. There are not many flaws, and none of them truly damage the experience. The only turn off I can forsee for some people is that Hollow Knight can be quite unforgiving if you don't get very good at the combat aspects of the game. The biggest consequence of this is the loss of your accumulated Geo, which can be particularly punishing since grinding it back isn't very fun or fast. So if, like me, you lose quite a bit a Geo before unlocking all the upgrades and whatnot, you can be stuck going without them for quite awhile before you naturally recoup Geo back. If you love Ori and the Blind Forest, but wanted more of combat, this game will fill that space for you. Hollow Knight is way more responsive than Ori, because of the quick combat, but the exploration and world discovery is similar. I personally found Hollow Knight's exploring and discoveries more engrossing since it's fine with not handing you it's story if you don't go looking for it. So finding those little details are rewards of their own.

This game is incredible. Characters and story are deeply entralling. The combat is amazing, especially in boss fights
