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.

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

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

It’s a good, rogue like game. The design of the game is fantastic, almost Halloween/Tim Burton design.

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 truly love this game and had the pleasure of giving my sister this game for Christmas. I didn't realize the price difference between the physical vs digital game, but it's nice that you get a game card along with some cool things you don't get with the digital like game manual and artistic map.

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 is my first platform game since playing on the Gameboy Advance, and I instantly fell in love. There is a learning curve, but overall the game is challenging and engaging.

This is a great 2D platformer with very polished mechanics. The musical score and visuals create the perfect, fitting atmosphere that reflects the world you explore. There are many, unique boss fights to encounter and plenty of backtracking to rack up the playtime hours that will not feel tedious for most. There are a good number of ability customization options via a badge-like system. Overall, I found this title quite fun and have spent over 40 hours on it and counting!

I really like this game and tbe graphics. I like choosing games that look interesting, and this didn't fail. Interesting game play and levels, beautiful graphics and hard to beat bosses.
