    Revival of platformers!

    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.

    ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER MADE

    THIS GAME IS SO SO SO GOOD ITS AWESOME AND VERY FUN TO PLAY ALONG WITH STUNNING VISUALS AND PLEASING SOUND DESIGN AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF IT HAS AMAZING MUSIC AND GAMEPLAY AND TO THINK IT WAS MADE BY SUCH A SMALL TEAM IS AMAZING THEY DESERVE SO MUCH RECOGNITION FOR THEIR WORK!!!!! THIS GAME IS BY FAR ONE OF MY FAVOURITES AND WILL REMAIN THAT WAY FOREVER YOU MUST BUY IT OR YOU WILL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT HAVING THE BEST GAME OF 2017!!!!!! do not pirate the game or you die. you must give team cherry the money they deserve for their awesome project.

    One of the best Metroidvanias

    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.
