As far as Metroidvania style games go, this game has it all: tons of exploration in a huge and beautiful world, tight responsive controls, a well thought out and intuitive upgrade system, a stunning art style, and an amazing soundtrack. You cannot go wrong with Hollow Knight and can easily sink 50+ or even 100 hours into this game.

This games is very enjoyable and affordable. It has a decent amount of challenge, but isn't too easy or too difficult once you get the hang of the controls.

It's as good as everyone says. If you like Metroidvanias, this a great twist with a learning curve that keeps you going. The lore, music, and atmosphere are also engrossing. Highly recommend.

A fantastic and charming Metroidvania. Though the genre is now swapped with tons of games, this one is a stand out that fans of that type of game should have in their collections.
Has a much deeper and interesting story then you would expect.

Hollow knight is a fun game to play, and is very beautiful for a sidescroller with just the right amount of challenge to be exciting. The music is very relaxing, and it is a complete delight. Also came with a handy map as well as all the DLC. Well worth it for the price.

Great game, definitely worth the money. It's sad that Best Buy doesn't offer the Steam version, but I think the switch does nicely.

so far having fun with this game. Im not too far into it yet, only because I play multiple games and work a full time job with 3 kids.
the only thing I thought was kinda lame was you collect a form a currency by killing enemies and then use the currency to purchase items in the shop. well I was lost and was trying to find out where i was on the map, which i only was able to see a small portion of. come to find out i actually had to buy map identifiers from the shop. so to show my characters location on the map i had to purchase that, to show where save benches were, i had to purchase that.
I enjoy the grind to collect and purchase items for your quest, but something like the map i think would be a default part of the game.

This is a great platforming game, however it is quite difficult! Once you master the mechanics the game is very fun. The art style and music are both incredibly beautiful.

The artwork, the music and the story of this game is top notch. It's definitely difficult. The "souls" thing and losing them when you die like in Dark Souls etc is a nice touch. Also like the ability to heal up using energy that you get from killing baddies. A good game for the switch.

I like the layout and pace of how the story runs as you explore deeper into the underground , excellent characters, stunning background and hardcore side scroller action all await you with little fluff as you live by a hair breadth some times if at all ☠️

Hollow Knight is one of my favorite games of all time. Story, atmosphere, gameplay, it has it all. The game is only 15 dollars on the eshop, but I reccoment physical since it comes with a lot of cool memorabelia and plus physical is just better.
