I stumbled on Hollow Knight footage on Youtube and was intrigued by the art style. Even though I'm not great at platformers I decided to give this game a shot based on enthusiastic reviews and the low price. I don't regret it. I've put close to 80 hours altogether and 50 hours in a single, completionist run and I can probably count the times I was frustrated on the fingers of one of my hands. Hallownest sucks you in and doesn't let go. The game looks gorgeous, sounds amazing, the characters are memorable and the boss fights demanding but doable. I use a Logitech controller and the controls were fluid but every now and then I did gripe about the Knight not doing what I had pressed. It didn't happen too often to be even mildly frustrating. Worth mentioning is the care that the developers put into their release. Hollow Knight has seen three significant updates all for the base price of the game that flesh out the world and add new challenges that even experienced players can find challenging. The cycle is not over yet so I can't wait to see what's in store for upcoming DLC and will surely be returning to Hallownest at that point. I hghly recommend this title to any gamer with at least a passing interest in platformers. You won't be disappointed.
