Hollow Knight

HOLLOW KNIGHT (2017) is one of those games that really have a lot going for it. It's challenging, adventurous, artistic, unique, intriguing, dark, creative, and all very chill. It's a very fun fantasy / adventure sidescrolling platform game, with many vast areas to explore. While it may appear simple (design, art style, characters, minimal story) there is much to do, though it's not always clearly pointed out. This isn't a game for the close minded, but rather one for players willing to ponder and explore.

When playing this game you don't always feel pushed to one direction or forced into questing, but rather can enjoy (or dislike, depending on your play style) an almost open world type of experience. The areas you are given to explore are pretty huge and there are many areas in the game. It is quite a long game oveall, making it well worth the money spent. I enjoyed that game pacing can be either faster or slower depending on your play style. The gameplay is definitely a throwback to classic platformers and really fun to play although it certainly gets challenging at times. It's a very fun game and I can't complain.

The game aesthetics itself are very beautiful, the art is unique and memorable and it has good music. Overall, I would definitely recommend this game to play if you enjoy a good fantasy adventure platformer game. Hollow Knight offers plenty of hours of play, as well as a challenge.

Hollow Knight is a beautifully crafted Metroidvania that plunges players into the haunting and mysterious world of Hallownest. As the titular silent knight, players explore an intricate, interconnected kingdom teeming with secrets, challenging enemies, and captivating lore. The hand-drawn art and atmospheric soundtrack create an immersive experience, perfectly complementing the game's melancholic tone. The combat is tight and satisfying, offering a mix of nail-biting precision and fluid movement, while the expansive map encourages exploration and rewards curiosity with hidden abilities and upgrades.

Although the game's difficulty can be unforgiving, the sense of accomplishment after overcoming its many trials is immensely rewarding.

Hollow Knight is easily one of my favorite games. Its visuals and soundtrack are amazing. The gameplay, story and bossfights are epic. I know the game is very challenging, but that's one of the reasons it's so enjoyable.

The game has an incredible background set with an amazing soundtrack; each enviroment and stage has an characteristic music and sound effects. The game has a lot of beautyful maps and stages with a lot of very good simply characters, enemies and things. The game can catch you for hours in only twenty minutes or less.

I added this game to my list of best games ever made. There is not one even slightly negative thing o can say about it. Everything is balanced so perfectly. Gameplay, art, music, story.... It's truly beautiful.
