Hollow Knight

This is a game for people that like a challenge for challenge's sake. Do you like it when games go, "oh, you can do that? Well, how about THIS? And what if I added THIS? And what if you weren't allowed to do THIS?" Then you'll like this game. There are many, many opportunities for the game to try to troll you and frustrate you and you can "persevere" through it, like a triple-dog-dare on a kids playground. Mostly this is during boss battles. Outside of the boss battles that felt like pranks most of the time, traversing the world wasn't all that dangerous or difficult. The art direction is nice, and I liked the music, and I had no complaints about the controls. I enjoyed the exploration, and I didn't mind how they handled the maps. It made me worry less about where I was and more about just forging forwards and seeing what you found. There is no fully fleshed out story, so you won't get that here. There are abilities that you can gain during the game which allow you access to new areas. That is typical of this type of game, so if you like that sort of thing, it has that. It also has abilities and passives that can be swapped in and out that are more about combat. I didn't find these compelling as I had a few that I felt where just too useful and thus a large number of these I didn't find useful. I'm glad the game exists, but I didn't overall enjoy my time with it.

I hadnt played a good game for a while hollow knight has great design beautiful music and just the right ammount of bosses, i love how the abilities are scaterred all over the map and so are the dreamers, how it is a huge world to explore and the slight frustration when youre right in front of Cornifer but dont have enough geo. Truly wonderfull game

This is one of the most spectacular games ever made. To believe that a small world of bugs would be so intriguing to explore and experience. It's unbelievably good for the price and it's worth every single penny. I got it on PS Plus a few years back and recently bought it again on PC just to play it with mods and also got the soundtracks to support the developers and Christopher Larkin.

It's a timeless classic, although a bit on the "git gud" side. Grinding will be needed to learn to play it well. But it's really all skill based, with a very small luck component. I usually like easier games that focus more on exploration and discovery, but this one was a real treat, even with the difficulty of the learning curve. A tip: if you see that a battle is not going well, you can quit to the menu and that will reset you to the last bench. Saves time and risk over having to hunt down your shadow.

the game is epic , beautifull
