I really enjoyed this game. From the artwork and the music to the seemingly infinite levels and hidden areas. This game is surprisingly fun, it’s not too difficult but its challenging enough to keep me entertained.

Incredible game and considering that this physical edition comes with a map and guide book; it’s a no brainer to pay the premium and grab this over digital version.

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.

Modern Metroidvania Masterpiece

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.

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!

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!!
