Great game, challenging (annoyingly so at times) but rewarding. Beautiful to explore, story that doesn't intrude on the gameplay but keeps you informed. It's so very close to the overall vibe that super Metroid has, which is high praise. I've gotten stressed out with this game from time to time but really it's only because I'm being impatient and rushing in a game that wants you to learn and plan and take your time. My criticisms are limited. I don't like that if you die, it can be quite a long distance from the nearest bench back to where you were to go kill your ghost and get your points back. But I can't think of another original platformer released in the last 5 years that's quite this good.

Everything about this game (design, direcrion, music, gameplay...) is above standards, if you love soulslikes and platforms, this is the perfect game for you.

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.
