Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Really fun game. If you like Metroid and darksouls this one is for you

Any nintendo switch owner who is pining for the glory days of side scrolling, Metroid style games, look no further. This game delivers mystery and atmosphere in spades. Don’t miss this 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.

Great platformer! Some difficult gameplay but if you practice the pay off is worth it. Great design and all at a price half of Triple A titles, the complete package!

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!

I bought it in store, perfect conditions... very good video 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!!

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.

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

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).

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.

I have been wanting this game, finally went on sale. Love it. There is a degree of difficulty though if u love challenges. The game is fun, you can avoid some enemies so you can finish the game. It was a great purchase. A great addition to my growing nintendo switch collection of games.

A must have title on any platfrom. But it looks more amazing on switch given the game's platform based gameplay. The difficulty though is similar to bloodborne. Also the fact that there are no specific instructions. Even the map provided with the physical game copy, is not really that useful are readable at glance. But otherwise, this game is a classic. Eagerly waiting for the next installment of this series.

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.

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 game is a great game if you like to explore. The art work is unique and has a darker vibe to it. I would recommend checking this game out!

Purchased for my husband , he enjoyed it, he is still currently playing it. It will be a classic.

Son loves it! It's been a challenging game that he has thoroughly enjoyed.
