Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about Hollow Knight, especially its gameplay, music, and story. Many appreciate the overall performance, tight controls, and accessible price point. Some find the game difficult, particularly the bosses, and note that maps are limited until discovered. Despite these challenges, Hollow Knight is generally well-received.

    It's a fun little platformer that has a bit of skill into it. Good price for the quality it gives out.

    I picked this up for my brother, as he was highly interested in this game, for the longest time. Got to say, as I watched him play this game, I can see why he was enamored with it. Very artistic style and character designs, vast and huge world to explore, and a great soundtrack to boot. If you're a fan of Metroidvania-style platformers, then this is right up your alley.

    Beautiful but tough game with very interesting and rewarding gameplay. It is near Dark Souls level tough but worth it if you have a little patience. I would recommend this more for experienced gamers.

    I am a huge fan of metroidvania games. Hollow Knight definitely scratched that itch. I originally avoided it because I was not a fan of the art style but it really grew on me while playing. I can not wait for the sequel.

    I own this game digitally on my switch and ps4. When i heard it was coming out physically i bought this and ordered a special collectors edition. So i guess i like this game a lot. It has awesome charater design. Amazing level design. Great combat. I don't really have anything negative to say about hollow knight what so ever. If you like metroidvaina type games. They this is one of the best out there. Just buy it.

    There’s more than enough said online about this wonderful game so let me just go over what makes this specific product so great: - Obvious plus of being a physical version - Includes all DLC as of the port’s release - Includes a very charming CD soundtrack and manual Altogether, these factors combined with how great the game is in general makes this a must have for Switch owners looking for a good platformer!

    After seeing all of the hype around this game I decided to pick it up and try it myself. It is no wonder there is such a buzz in the Hollow Knight community - the game is ridiculously good!! The art style of the game is some of the best I have ever seen. The game itself is super challenging but makes it all the more rewarding when you get past a certain area. Must own if you have a Switch!!

    Hollow knight

    Hollow knight feels like a mix between dark souls and your average Metroidvania but still manages to preserve its own identity. The game doesn’t hold your hand and punishes your mistakes but never in a frustrating way. The boss battles almost feel like a dance, each with their own specific rhythm and flow. In my honest opinion this is a switch essential.

    I ordered this online with curbside pickup and wasn’t expecting it to be shipped so quickly. It came sooner than I expected and the employee that brought the game out for me was very quick and helpful. The game came nicely wrapped and it works beautifully. It’s a phenomenal game and the physical release comes with a really nice map of the world within the game.

    Fun game. Graphics are good with the cartoony-style (which I will say, I like). There are several bosses that give you a real challenge, and more than likely you will die a lot, get frustrated, quit a few times, and come back to the game later to try again. Those looking to achievement hunt will be able to spend a lot of time on this one.
