Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was a really spectacular Metroidvania. The visuals are stunning and the characters have personality. I loved exploring the world, however I do wish the power ups had been cooler. Each area was unique. Combat was difficult at time but not excruciatingly difficult.

The soundtrack, characters, world, and story are beautifully written. Some bosses and areas are though but very rewarding once you overcome it.

I've had Hollow Knight digitally for a while now. Finally caught it on sale so I decided to double dip as I liked the game so much and wanted to have a physical copy on my shelf. BUY this game if you haven't already. What are you still reading for and not checking out with your copy??? LoL

I bought this for my 12 yr old son as a Christmas gift and he loves it. It has a very interesting storyline, characters and nice graphics. He can't stop talking about it and thanked me a few times for getting it for him. I consider it a great purchase and would recommend.

I heard so many good things about Hollow Knight that I couldn't imagine it would live up to the hype, but after playing it longer than any other game I own on Switch, I can plainly say that Hollow Knight is a fantastic Metroidvania style action adventure game with an interesting interconnected world that sucks you in and absolutely delivers. The amount of polish that went into this game is astounding, especially coming from a smaller studio. The art style alone puts many other games to shame, the lore and world building keeps you coming back, and the tight controls make this sometimes difficult game never seem unfair. I highly recommend it to fans of the genre, and can't wait for the next game in the series.

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.

One of the switch’s best games. This one is really tough so be prepared for a challenge but it’s so well made that it’s worth it. It never feels challenging just to be challenging and the world is so beautiful that you’ll stick with the hard parts. All of the fighting, platforming and exploring flows so well through the well designed world and the soundtrack is impressive. Try this game

So I really really really love team cherry and what they have done with this game Hollow knight and even more so their sequel Silksong! I love the level designs (except the sparse benches), I love the boss fights, I love the tone/atmosphere, I love this game and I love silksong even more! I just had to buy a physical copy and I hope silksong gets one too!

The atmosphere in this game is amazing! Along with the great story and gameplay, this is a great game for someone who likes platformers and a good challenge.

Simply amazing. The controls are tight and responsive, the art style is fitting to the story, I've always loved the metroidvania type games. My son loves this as well.

There’s so much to love about this game, the art, the story, the lore, and the challenges. This game is fun and there’s tons to uncover. The game is both fun and challenging. One of my all time favorites

My son (8) purchased this game with birthday funds. He attempted to play it but found that it was too hard. It sat for two years, unplayed. PSN offered the game and I downloaded it for myself. In an attempt to bring interest back for the game he bought, I played the game. His younger brother (5) fell in love and became obsessed with the game. He wanted nothing more to play, watch, or simply talk about the game. I played the game through on the PS4 and later again on the PS5. Great metroid-vania game.

I started playing this game years after its release. It's not what I'd usually go for but it was really enjoyable. It can get really difficult, but the satisfaction of winning is such a great reward. If I had more time, I wouldn't have been able to put this game down. It flows really well and there's no right or wrong way to progress in the story. The one thing I'd wish for would be a practice mode to revisit old bosses, but otherwise, this game is A1!

Metroidvania at its best... great controls, graphics, subtle satisfying story, and addictive gameplay...why did I wait so long to play it!

Great game, I highly recommend this masterpiece! The style and vibe are perfect, gameplay is challenging but not frustrating, and this game is not nearly the price of most Switch games. Pick this up if you get a chance!

Very long game for an indie title. Great 'Castlevania' gameplay with decently polished controls, style and theme. Early bosses are very difficult despite the cute aesthetic. This seems to be the key make or break element of the game and will determine how far and how much fun you have with it.

This game is amazing. It's a beautiful, challenging, great soundtrack, great story, and fun.

This is one my favorite games, of all time, The gameplay is awesome, the grind is thorough, and the feeling of accomplishment right up there with some of the best. The environment will pull you in, and challenge you. One of the best "metroidvanias" I've played.

Playing this was a unique experience. The bosses were difficult, but each lost helped me understand a little more, on how to defeat them. The visuals are so pretty and the gameplay is so much fun!

This game is fantastic. The soundtrack is great, the controls reasonable, and the gameplay fully engaging.
