Become the Void
I had heard that this game was fun so i decided to pick it up during the off-season. Um, wow. This game is not only fun, but has a fascinating story and the world has so much character. Hollow Knight is challenging at times, but never quite like Elden Ring (blessings). You have so much to explore, a plot to discover, and epic battles to conquer. And let me say the music - INCREDIBLE. Highly recommend this game to anyone. Cannot wait for the sequel.

Awesome!
This is what gaming is all about. There are words to describe how great this game is but I'll try. First of all it's beautiful to look at. As you traverse all the areas of the kingdom you'll be taken aback by the beautiful backgrounds and the diversity of the characters for small to big. The Lore and stories of hollownest just envelope you into it. The challenges are many and some are easy while many are not. I find myself coming back to this game on a daily basis determined to beat it. I can't hello it as I've been so drawn into it. One of the best things about this game is the cost. Now I'm one that feels the price of games on the gaming world is a bit rediculous. I normally wait for prices to go WAY down or I buy games second hand. I purchased this game at its everyday price of $16.99 (???)The funny thing is i feel this game is worth SOOOO MUCH more. I truly hope whom so ever reads this review invests a few dollars for this game. It gets the highest recommendation! You cannot go wrong!

Great, but Difficult Platformer
This is a 2D metroidvaina-style platforming game with difficult levels and bosses. It’s very fun, but not for the faint of heart. It is a quality experience, and a well-made game. The copy I received had a sticker on the wrapper indicating the game contains all DLC released so far, which is great.
