Hollow Knight (Nintendo Switch)

A 2D Metroidvania with souls-like atmosphere. Cool game. There is a map of hallownest included in the box. Not an easy game for newer players.

I am delighted with my purchase! I gifted it to myself for Christmas. My sister and I played it together, and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. The package included the game, a map, and instructions, along with helpful tips. It was a worthwhile purchase!

Beautifully presented, unique animation and a Switch classic for me. Definite sense of progression through the game with some challenging bosses, and one of those that I lost hours playing.

Sorry Hollow Knight, I can’t give you 5 stars because of all the frustration you’ve caused me. This game is HARD, but it’s so rewarding when you succeed. It doesn’t give you much direction on where to go and what to do, although you can find plenty of info online. I didn’t cheat with any online info until I got to the end and checked what I’d missed (not much).The plot is also very epic, the characters you meet are weird and wonderful and the atmosphere is very cool. It would be 5 stars for me but I’m a weeb who cries when I lose.

Spent a summer in lockdown playing this gem of a game. I bought it after the premise of a Soulslike Metroidvania lured me in, so of course I had a strong suspicion I was going to enjoy this.'Enjoy' is an understatement.I was captivated for months by Hollow Knight. I hunted down every boss, catalogued every enemy, collected every upgrade and item it had. I was besotted by every aspect of this game, from the artwork, the animation, the music and sound design to the carefully planted lore, the intricate world, the charming NPCs, the tight gameplay, the sheer FEEL of every facet. Hollow Knight excels in every area it touches upon, and I was genuinely sorry to defeat the final boss, and finish the game.When I was approaching the end of my time in Hallownest, scouring old areas for missed collectables, I got to thinking: does this game have any flaws?I can truthfully say, in my humble opinion, it does not. This is, for me, a 10/10 game, and believe me when I say I don't make that claim lightly.If you've played a Soulslike or a Metroidvania before, you'll already know if you'll like this kind of video game. Hollow Knight is a delight in every factor you'd associate with the likes of Dark Souls or Metroid, and yet its presentation guarantees that you haven't played anything quite like this before.If you haven't played a game like this before, this is a perfect place to start. HK is a painstakingly constructed world of interconnected areas, filled with secrets and shortcuts you'll access later when you acquire new abilities. HK is a tough-but-fair experience that rewards careful approaches and punishes sloppiness and impatience; yet for all the challenges it presented me with, I never once felt that any were beyond my abilities. HK is a mountain that implores you to climb it: you keep climbing, assured that you can reach the summit.The only drawback to choosing this one is that it's all downhill from Hollow Knight :PFinally, the price: worth every penny, I would say. My first playthrough lasted about 95 hours, by the end of which I had a new favourite game, so I certainly got my money's worth!

Love this game so much, the music is amazing, the story line is fanastic, and the game play is phenomenal. You play as the hollow knight, exploring the map freely whilst learning more about dirtmouth. The gameplay is also fun because you have to work out the rhythms and patterns of the bosses, which can sometimes be challenging but incredibly rewarding. If you are a fan of Ori, you will love hollow knight.

My son rates this in his top 3 games - lots of hours spent trying to work it out.

This game is amazing. It is a 2D metroidvaina game that has an amazing plot and good gameplay. I have done two play throughs, in which I have completed most of the game. At first it will be hard, but after it becomes an amazing game. Worth the price and would reccomend. Also excited for the sequel coming soon!
