GotY 2017, hands down.
2017 had a lot going for it: System Shock 3: Prey, Nier: Tomatoes, Nier: Irish Samurai, Racist Teacups, Jungian Psychology 101 part 5, Horizon: Zero Dark Thirty and some stuff by Nintendo about a dude not called Zelda - and yet, neither of those got me coming back the same way Hollow Knight did and neither was as enjoyable for me (ok, except for Zelda: Breth of the Wild, because i don't own the Nintendo switchy-swatchy thing. There. My integrity is ruined). Simply put: the game is amazing. It does everything it sets out to do and it does it in style. If you are a fan of metroidvania/dark souls/hack&slash games, it's a must. It's hard, but rewarding. It's design and sound are amazing, it's very atmospheric and can be cute and scary at the same time. It has simple yet surprisingly sophisticated combat. The backstory is intriguing and told by the world itself. Buy it now! To answer some complaints: 1) combat is siple, but is anything but simplistic. The depth is in the execution, not in preparation. There's still a lot of variety (10+ permanent skills to find + upgrades to all + 40 switchable upgrades), though little in terms of different playstyles. 2) The game is hard, but not unforgiving. You need to catch your stride. It's not a question of "git gud", but rather hitting the right tone. Don't rush into things. Blindly mashing attack will get you killed quick. Be respectful, patient and cautious. Prioritize not getting hit over hitting. EVERY enemy has an opening, find it. 3) The save and fast-travel spots are spread out thin (think Dark Souls). Dev's choice. I wasn't bothered, some people are. There's a late game teleport spell to help out. Also: game saves on quit. You don't lose your progress, just start from your last save location. 4) Same with map - dev's choice. I liked that actually but it can get overwhelming early to mid-game. 5) It can be hardware heavy on low-end computers. Mid >>should<< be fine. 6) Get a controller. Keyboard + mouse can be frustrating.
