This game is really good but falls apart really hard at the end. Not only do you have to fight an insufferable boss, but there is even a map that will softlock you. Now I remember why I never played this game again after finishing it the first time. I guess some classics just don't hold up that well.
If you've ever fantasized about being a walking tank who can brutally destroy bad guys and give out parking tickets then look no further! The story is good, the action is great and the look/ feel is extremely faithful to the movies. Highly recommended!
I loved the original Hollow Knight. But I feel Team Cherry either didn't care or didn't learn from some of the issues the first game suffered from. This game looks, plays, and sounds great! But what really killed the experience is what happens after you die to a hard boss. Challenging bosses and enemy rooms are great! But having to spend a lot of your time running back a long ways (sometimes more than one area) just to get creamed again isn't fun and a complete waste of time. Another issue is the fast travel. Why does it always have to take so long just to get somewhere? Why can't we just have something simple and convenient like fast traveling from the benches? It all just seems like pointless time padding in a game thats suppose to be loaded with content and enemies. I'm glad Team Cherry had fun making this and I respect them for selling it for a very reasonable price. But this game just isn't for me.
A great, little metroidvania. Not very long but lets be real here, the major selling point here are the cut scenes. If you know what this game is referencing, you're going to have a good time.
This looks ok from an artistic perspective but its a terrible videogame. After the "shock value" wears off, you're greeted with a boring, trolling experience. When you're not wandering around trying to find out what you need to do, you're getting killed by some unavoidable trap or put in a situation where you possibly would have to take a death just to try to figure out what the game wants from you. The environments look the same and everything blends together so finding macguffins or collectables becomes a real chore.

Both games are still really fun to play. The updates and quality of life improvements (especially in Hexen) make both games even better. If you don't want/ like the updates, you can even turn them off! Excellent value for anyone who enjoys retro shooters.
Did some research but nothing stops the stuttering. Im sure there is a good game here somewhere but I'll never find it in this state.
