fun but challenging game if you like metroidvania you'll like this

For anyone that's a fan of the Metroid or Castlevania series, Hollow Knight is the game for you. It controls well, is full of atmosphere and has lots of content. Well worth the purchase price.

I can't beat Hornet, and I keep dying, but it's a fun video game.

Bought and played it for the cool bug skull looking character and was blown away by the games art, characters, gameplay and story. This quickly became one of my favorites.

Excellent platformer with tight controls and a great atmosphere.

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.

Fun indie action platformer. Beautiful visuals. You should definitely pick this up before it’s too late and the price increases dramatically.

Great game, good replayability. Runs well on Switch

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.

Similar to Super Mario but in my opinion this is more fun. The story is interesting. It is challenging at times but still is way fun. My wife really enjoys this game as well.

Hollow Knight is an absolutely stunning platformer!! Be warned you will die ALOT but it is so addictive that you just keep coming back for more!! Hollow Knight is one of my most played games next to Splatoon 2 and Luigi’s Mansion 3!! There is so much exploring that you can do and the graphics and sound effects are so beautifully stunning and immersive!! If I could give this 100 stars I would! If you are on the fence about purchasing this game just do it you won’t regret it!!

Perfect game, the band wagon was well worth it!!!!

The story is compelling. The visuals are beautiful. It is a dark fantasy that would compete with the best bed-time stories (I regularly played the game before bed). The gameplay is fun and addictive. It is an easy game to pick up and put down. The level ups are interesting and meaningful. One of the best games I played in the past 10 years (for context, here are some of my favorite games: Fallout 4, Uncharted series, Dead Space).

A really fun and challenging metroidvania style game. The graphics are enjoyable and controls are decent. A good challenge!

Great game but hard on platforming Also want to thank the Best Buy employee that went the extra mile to check for me behind because originally they said they had it available but when I got there it was not available but apparently they found an extra copy in the back I just want to say thank you to that employee we're going the extra mile

While the game can be hard, it's one of the best metroidvania games of all time. With a gorgeous art style, you'll cherish your adventure through this great game.

Hollow Knight is the greatest game ever. Thank you Team Cherry.

Amazing metrovania title, little hard to start but once i got into it, top 10

This game is yet another indie-developed, 2D Metroidvania, action platformer that borrows a lot of positive elements from other well established titles, but still manages to establish its own identity and offers a worthwhile experience. It borrows the level design, exploration and ability progression philosophies of the Metroid series, and combines them with the combat and risk v. reward systems of Dark Souls. The game is presented in a unique, hand drawn art style that perfectly captures the dark and mysterious nature of the world and all the characters that inhabit it. The narrative is equally mysterious and intriguing, providing a compelling and natural incentive to drive the player towards exploring the world and unlock the many secrets it has to offer. The physical edition comes with a fully printed manual, which feels like a nice throwback to classic releases from the SNES era of gaming. If collecting physical games is important to you then this is worth picking up, but if you don't mind digital and would prefer to save, then the digital version can be purchased for less than half the cost.

This is was a surprise gift for my 12-year-old son who got a Switch in 2018. He did not know to ask for this game, but I did a search and it came up on all the top-ten Switch game lists. He would agree that it deserves the praise. The art style is "AMAZING," the level designs are outstanding, and battles are challenging and fun. This will not get old too quickly. Only downside is that it is not multiplayer, but it still deserves five stars.
