Customers are saying

Customers commend Hollow Knight for its incredible gameplay, wonderful music, and creative story. Many players find the controls tight and the overall performance enjoyable, especially considering the accessible price. However, some players mention the game can be difficult, with challenging bosses, and that maps are limited until discovered.

    This is a relatively graphically simplistic game. It does look incredibly clean and the black and grey tones are awesome! It is a challenging game but there are save points available. I am enjoying the challenge and continue to go back to this one.

    One of the best games I’ve played in a while. I’m not sure why I waited so long on giving it a try. The story, difficulty level, sound track, and animation are amazing.

    I downloaded this game and then bought it physically once available. This is so good I had to double dip. Fantastic atmosphere, good challenge and tight gameplay. It was a lot of fun to wander and get lost in the world.

    This Metroidvania style game is a must own game for those who are fans of the gameplay style. The difficulty is perfect and ramps up as you explore more and more. It never feels forced or unfair. Definitely a strong recommendation.

    Absolutely loved this game. Bought it digitally and then again once this physical release came out. Highly recommended. Just a warning though, the game can be difficult so just an FYI in case someone was gonna buy for a younger child.

    Hollow Knight is not a "hidden gem" among most gamers. If you go to the Nintendo Switch reddit there are always people praising this game, and for good reason. Its one of the best metroidvania games out there. Its worth noting that there has been a good amount of free DLC added to the game so that you're getting a really good value, even if the game is full price. This game is best suited for someone who's good at platformers, and combat in 2D games. Some of the boss fights and platforming challenges can be quite difficult.

    I love playing this game, even though I never get anywhere with it. The game is extremely difficult and after visiting many forums on it, I'm not the only one to feel this way. Many gamers have stated that the game is harder on the Switch than on the PC due to the controls making some things almost impossible to achieve (think pogo jumping). I just might buy this for a PC to see if it makes a difference.
