Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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!

This is one of the best game that I have ever played in my entire life. Love the bosses, maps, lore, music, aesthetics. No conplaints at all. You will jot be disappointed

Hallow Knight is a super well made metroidvania side scroller with an awesome gothic/dark aesthetic. The gameplay is among the best with the combat feeling very precise and satisfying. There's a reason why this game is one of the highest rated games of all time and being able to play it on the go with the Switch just makes it better.

Beautiful, haunting, somber, bittersweet, and incredibly charming. The visuals are gorgeous; all of the character and environment designs have a Studio Ghibli feel. Fun and satisfying movement and combat that becomes more complex and creative as the game goes on. Well implemented world-building and lore. The gameplay is conducive to creativity and experimentation. The first time I turned the game on, I played for 8 hours straight without even noticing. Outstanding game, I can't reccomend it enough.

Incredibly difficult game, but very rewarding. The hand drawn levels and landscapes are candy to the eyes and the tone setting music really makes the game special. The game will test you, but overcoming those challenges is EPIC!

Great game if you like metroidvania style games. The art direction is great and world is unique. Fun game side scrolling game that is suitable for most ages.

This game was so good, it is now my favorite game of all time.

Good condition and price. Has encouraged me to buy from best buy more compared to other companies.

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.

Its a really fun game and bonus points for being cute, got it on sale but its still worth the regular price. It also comes with 4 dlc, a map and instruction manual.

This game so great. I played for 200 hours, but still love it.

This looks like a great game has great reviews free shipping.

It's near perfect but has factory dirt in side the seal, but idc I'm keeping it for collectability I also couldn't find it anywhere else

Received the updated "Complete" edition with all the DLC on the cartridge. It tells you on the front cover and on the back of the case that says "Includes 4 Giant Content Packs". Godmaster, Lifeblood, The Grimm Troupe, and Hidden Dreams.

great video game been trying to buy it for a long time and got a great price on besbuy my favorite store

I had this game on my nintendo e-shop wish list for months, but after discovering the existence of the physical version I couldn't resist. Without doubt, one of my favourite games of all time. A vast, atmospheric, detailed world to explore. Lots of secrets, different abilities and upgrades to discover. Plenty of challenging platforming and a huge variety of enemies and bosses, requiring skill and often persistence to defeat. The story is deep and cryptic and the characters you meet are unique and interesting. I love the art style, the haunting music and the sense of progression, as you come to learn the worldmap and master the enemies and controls. Not to mention all the DLC is included, adding countless more hours of gameplay to an already large game. Team Cherry have lovingly crafted an intricate, expansive world with it's own distinctive and intriguing aesthetic and lore. In addition, I knew about the existence of two print versions of the game: an incorrect one, where there were only 3 dlc in the cartridge (the fourth one needed to download it) and the exact one where the 4 dlc was already inside the cartridge. This difference in print was known from the back of the cover: the exact one, that is, the one that came to me, has one of the thumbnails (the most right) with golden colors. In the wrong one, instead of that thumbnail there is an image of a fight on a bridge with bluish colors. A true masterpiece and a must play! I can't wait for the sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong.

Everything about this game is flawless. The level design, the controls, the bosses, the amount of content, the music, the atmosphere, the story and lore, the characters, etc . . . I could go on and on, but let me just say that this is the single greatest Metroidvania ever made. Hands down. Unless you can't handle difficult games, you owe it to yourself to go out and try this immediately.

Where do I begin? This has been one of my most played games ever. I originally tried it out expecting to hate it due to difficulty, but I quickly fell in love with the difficult but fair gameplay. Truly a masterpiece of game design, art style is impeccable, and the soundtrack will stick with you long after you’ve beaten the game. It’s rare to find a game, especially an indie game, that nails every aspect of the experience. This is worth owning physically, digitally, and on every platform you have. Only downside is you will be anxiously awaiting the sequel that was announced five years ago and still not released.
