Hollow Knight more like heck of a night!! This game is great! I started playing it and could not put it down. I mean I had to after my mom made some bagel bites and then again for my half hour soda chugging break and then a little bit after that for my hourly candy bar break and a few more times for other stuff, but in-between those breaks man was I playing this game when I wasn't looking at my phone for people playing this on youtube.

Purchased for my daughter, a Game Design major in college, and she's been playing it 5 days straight and I've been watching her for 5 days straight! This graphics are incredible and the game, while super intense, is aesthetically beautiful and interesting! It's not an easy game, but the design makes you want to play it as long as you can to accomplish your tasks and goals! It's absolutely delightful and on behalf of myself and my daughter, we highly recommend it!

The visuals, gameplay and music really make this a standout game. We own the digital version already, but we really wanted a physical copy as well.
The characters are fun and each have their own backgrounds that you can learn more about, simply by playing the game. The levels are beautiful and again, the music is worth buying the album just to listen too when not playing. The longer you play this game, the more rewarding it becomes.
5/5 for us.

I purchased this game thinking it would be a quick game, but instead what I got was I was hours of fun through challenging puzzles and having to fight some ferocious enemies. For its price I say hollow knight is well worth it. And not only I being an adult enjoy the game, but also smaller audience like my kids; they enjoy the game.

Bought this as a gift for my son and he's spent countless hours doing all the optional trophies for this game.
It is an excellent 2D platformer, among the top 2 or 3 Metroidvanias in the last few years.

Bought it originally for PC and 4 playthroughs later it has got to be one of the best adventure game tonplay through. The music and thematics of the world of Hallownest pull you into a game of essentially bugs. Great fun and satisfaction in combat and exploring the map. Highly reccomend for anyone if you dont mind an ocassional challenge with boss fights

This game was recommended to me by one of my friends earlier this year, but it took me a while before actually getting a hold of it. I must say, I am very glad that it was recommended to me because this is a very well-crafted game in every sense of the word.
Even the packaging, which comes with a fully illustrated color manual and a map of the in-game world is more than what most million-dollar companies are willing to do. The game itself is no less impressive, mastering the Metroid/Castlevania style of gameplay while also staying true to an original take on the formula, adding in elements from games like Ori and Dark Souls to help keep things fresh.
For the price tag it's quite a steal with how much they added into it. The base game boasts a large world to explore and a variety of platforming and combat challenges. On top of this, four additional downloadable content packs were added to it, increasing its replay value with additional difficulty modes and speed running challenges. I have never been too eager to spend money on indie titles because I never know how much or what quality I will be getting for my money, but I can safely say that this is one game that stands out from the rest and can compete with some of the games that are made by the big-name studios.
Buy it if you have not!

Great Metroidvania Style Game

Hollow Knight is a great metroidvania style game that is really polished. It has responsive controls that make it easy to control and adjust when you fail in certain areas. The tone and art style of the game really help immerse you into its world. I found myself playing it far more than I thought I would. If you're a fan of metroidvania style games, this is a must buy.

I ordered Hollow Knight for my son for Christmas. It came in with plenty of time to pick up and get it wrapped and under the tree. The game is great and he's been playing it a bunch since Christmas Day.
