Bought this as a gift for my son and he's spent countless hours doing all the optional trophies for this game.
It is an excellent 2D platformer, among the top 2 or 3 Metroidvanias in the last few years.

Bought it originally for PC and 4 playthroughs later it has got to be one of the best adventure game tonplay through. The music and thematics of the world of Hallownest pull you into a game of essentially bugs. Great fun and satisfaction in combat and exploring the map. Highly reccomend for anyone if you dont mind an ocassional challenge with boss fights

This game was recommended to me by one of my friends earlier this year, but it took me a while before actually getting a hold of it. I must say, I am very glad that it was recommended to me because this is a very well-crafted game in every sense of the word.
Even the packaging, which comes with a fully illustrated color manual and a map of the in-game world is more than what most million-dollar companies are willing to do. The game itself is no less impressive, mastering the Metroid/Castlevania style of gameplay while also staying true to an original take on the formula, adding in elements from games like Ori and Dark Souls to help keep things fresh.
For the price tag it's quite a steal with how much they added into it. The base game boasts a large world to explore and a variety of platforming and combat challenges. On top of this, four additional downloadable content packs were added to it, increasing its replay value with additional difficulty modes and speed running challenges. I have never been too eager to spend money on indie titles because I never know how much or what quality I will be getting for my money, but I can safely say that this is one game that stands out from the rest and can compete with some of the games that are made by the big-name studios.
Buy it if you have not!

Art style is inspiring as is the slowly laid out story you dive thru. For a casual gamer the boss fights can get brutal, but you just have to keep going and finding out the key to each boss.

Hollow Knight is a great metroidvania style game that is really polished. It has responsive controls that make it easy to control and adjust when you fail in certain areas. The tone and art style of the game really help immerse you into its world. I found myself playing it far more than I thought I would. If you're a fan of metroidvania style games, this is a must buy.

I played this game years ago and it isn't easy. I wanted the full collection and it was at a phenomenal price. The graphics are beautiful and the controls are smooth, just be prepared to rage quit.

I ordered Hollow Knight for my son for Christmas. It came in with plenty of time to pick up and get it wrapped and under the tree. The game is great and he's been playing it a bunch since Christmas Day.

Got this while it was on sale for $16. A warning before you buy though. You WILL rage quit, I can guarantee it. But this is a beautiful game, and if you're skilled, I 100% recommend it.

I bought this because I love the visual style. I’m not very good at this game because it is quite difficult, especially the boss fights, but the game is still so much fun. If you are easily frustrated by difficulty level, check out other reviews to see if you will like this game.

I was always skeptical on this game. I first thought it was going to be a childish game and BOY was I wrong! The graphics are absolutely amazing and the soundtrack sets the tone for each area you explore. Can be a little difficult at times, but that’s the beauty of a challenge.
