...charm, and goodies. 10/10 Silky smooth game play; charming yet dark graphics and ambiance; brooding, spooky sound track; multiple endings... What's not to like about this game? The only thing I can think of might be the difficulty—you're not in for a cakewalk with this game. You're going to have to earn each boss fight and the multitude of secrets and Easter eggs that you can find in this lovingly crafted game. However, if you're not a hardcore Metroidvania fan (I can't say that I am, myself), don't worry—you'll still have a hauntingly delightful time exploring the world of Hollownest and meeting all sorts of creatures along the way. Team Cherry outdid themselves on this one, and to make things even better, we have a sequel on the way slated for later in 2019! I have sunk over 75 hours into this game and just finally reached the third of five different endings. The scope of this game is mind boggling, and just as soon as you think you've done everything, you'll find that there is more to do. Even after I thought I had completely explored the map, I found that there were still hidden areas that I had missed or had not been able to reach or unlock. Do yourself a favor and get this game and let yourself get lost in its dreary yet hopeful world. You'll be glad you did.
