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.

    I really enjoyed this game. From the artwork and the music to the seemingly infinite levels and hidden areas. This game is surprisingly fun, it’s not too difficult but its challenging enough to keep me entertained.

    Hallow knight is a great game overall. It can feel very mellow/casual when you're exploring around the map but it does get pretty challenging at times, however. There are some boss fights that take several tries and somewhat precise movement of your character. If you're into metroidvania style games and don't mind dying a lot to some challenging bosses, you'll definitely enjoy this one

    Incredible game and considering that this physical edition comes with a map and guide book; it’s a no brainer to pay the premium and grab this over digital version.

    I love this game. It is quite hard at times and your fingers will get sore playing it so much, but the game is beautiful and haunting. (I also got it for around $7, which was a steal)

    Hollow Knight is a good metridvania game it is a little bit hard, I got stuck on a few bosses, but after a few tries I was able to beat them, the map is huge, there are some secret but overall I feel it is a bit empty. However if you like metroidvanias games you should give it a try.

    Modern Metroidvania Masterpiece

    While there has been no shortage of indy Metroidvanias the past few years Hollow Knight stands alone among a select few that not only meet, but in most ways exceed the classic games that inspire them. Beautiful, varied environments. An intriguing world and lore that is expanded upon throughout the entire game, one new character and environment at a time. All of this would make Hollow Knight merely a great game, but it's all backed up by some of the best combat ever featured in a game of this style. It can certainly be challenging and will not be for all players, but it never feels unfair and when you do finally clear a tough boss it as incredibly rewarding.

    In the vein of metroid and castelvenia it is equal parts exploration, combat and platformer. It excels on all three fronts with amazing graphics and a superb soundtrack as icing on the cake.

    Amazing game especially for the price. Beautiful visuals and rich storyline. May be frustrating for younger gamers because it is a bit of a difficult game.
