- Forge your own path! The world of Hallownest is expansive and open. Choose which paths you take, which enemies you face and find your own way forward.

- Over 130 enemies! 30 epic bosses! Face ferocious beasts and vanquish ancient knights on your quest through the kingdom. Track down every last twisted foe and add them to your Hunter's Journal!
- Leap into minds with the Dream Nail. Uncover a whole other side to the characters you meet and the enemies you face.
- Beautiful painted landscapes, with extravagant parallax, give a unique sense of depth to a side-on world.
- Chart your journey with extensive mapping tools. Buy compasses, quills, maps and pins to enhance your understanding of Hollow Knight’s many twisting landscapes.
- A haunting, intimate score accompanies the player on their journey, composed by Christopher Larkin. The score echoes the majesty and sadness of a civilisation brought to ruin.
- Complete Hollow Knight to unlock Steel Soul Mode, the ultimate challenge!
An Evocative Hand-Crafted World

Yeah Okay It's Great
Bought this after Silksong dropped, and the hype is real: this is A Great Metroidvania. It doesn't do anything really revolutionary, but the trick, if anything, is that everything Hollow Knight tries to do it does really well. The story is interesting, somber, and paced well. The enemies and level design are finely-tuned, simple and consistently fun. The game mechanics all feel like they're at the perfect intersection of 'inobtrusive' and 'considered', and they trickle out at the perfect pace. It's a really, really, really good game. If you're a fan of the genre, don't sleep on it like I did.
