I didn’t even know how big the map was gonna turn out in the end. I jumped into it completely blind of what awaits me into the depths of the ruined and rotten kingdom of Hallownest. That said, I wish I could erase my memory of it and play it again for the first time. What I imagined to be mere 4 hours of jumping around, fighting stuff and finding some new areas, turned out to be 70+ hours of exploration, moments of calm and moments of frustration, facing challenges and overcoming them, tasting the … More

The wonder of exploration all while not knowing what awaits is the best feeling you can get from Hollow Knight. Without watching any trailers or anything of sorts. Others have said it before me and I can have to say it here, too – go do yourself a favor and get this game. I can only speak of my personal opinion, as I’m sure it’s not for everyone and I’m no expert on how games get balanced, so yeah I just feel like I should talk about it as I do with every game I love to my core. Honestly, just pick an aspect of this game – I have nothing else but pure adoration and enjoyment from experiencing it. I can talk about Hollow Knight all day and night, about its masterfully crafted world, boss battles, soundtrack and sound as a whole, huge variety of enemy and area designs, etc, etc. And I can say with confidence it’s one of the best games I’ve ever had the joy to play. Because it damn well deserves every word of positive feedback. This game has already gotten so much praise and here I am to give it more. Definitely a must play and possibly one of the best games of all time. This game is a masterpiece and I would recommend it to literally all the people and living things in the universe who have the ability to appreciate a good work.

And all this is balanced with platform challenges, new and very interesting areas, very well made enemies, VERY difficult but majestic bosses and overly polished and fluid combat. It's incredible that you play 40/50 hours of this game just moved by the feeling of curiosity and exploration.

With one of the most gigantic worlds and full of things to do that I've seen on a Metroidvania, Hollow Knight nurtures and satisfies your will for exploration and mysteries all the time. It is one of the most beautiful artistic expressions I have ever seen in a video game and it maintains this standard of quality the ENTIRE game, and in reality, it only improves. If you saw it somewhere and got interested, maybe it was by the graphics. But whatever, history is not the high point of this game. I find it very interesting the way the story is told, in that Dark Souls style, that everything is interpretive and in order to understand something, it really needs to be focused and pay attention. Hollow Knight is the supermegapower implicit story of an insect and the world he explores. But I'll try to give you a summary of some aspects of the game.

I do not know how to describe Hollow Knight the way he deserves it, and not even the way I would like it.
