    Really can´t praise it enough, almost a masterpiece. Fun, challenging, interesting, atmospheric, great metroidvania. The story is just Dark Souls with bugs and the process to get most of the endings is way too excessive, but still, unforgetable game.

The issue I have with the game is the massive amount of backtracking required.

    Most areas in the game have cut off sections that require Skill A, B, C etc so you will find yourself revisiting the same areas over and over again. I also found the maps not detailed enough. It shows just a massive room with no detail whereas it should be showing the tunnels and maze if we already went through it multiple times. You have markers but cannot add text to the markers, making them significantly less useful. Indoor locations have no map whatsoever. Many of the areas are build like mazes, which was annoying because of this.

    Currency felt pretty useless very early on. I found myself with tens of thousands of currency with nothing to spend it on. The first 5-10 hours required currency and the other 20+ hours I basically needed none whatsoever. Definitely missing some vendors or stocked items here.

    While bosses can be annoying to deal with at times, in particular due to the map layout and often long backtracking (up to 15 minutes per attempt in some cases), they are overall pretty fun. The mechanics are done well and after 2-3 attempts I found myself having learned their moveset and timings enough to beat them. You cannot brute force them which was nice.

    Overall a good game with some annoyances.    … Expand

    Hollow Knight was better than I expected. However, I don't think it's perfect, or even one of the "best" games I've ever played. It's good, and there's fun to he had, but it has its flaws. 10/10 ratings are just disingenuous and I'll go over why. I like to start with the cons to get them out of the way first.

It's good, and there's fun to he had, but it has its flaws. 10/10 ratings are just disingenuous and I'll go over why. I like to start with the cons to get them out of the way first.

    Cons
    - Difficult, and not always in a good way. Some of the bosses are really fun and will have you on the edge of your seat. Others, however, will just leave you frustrated with cheap mechanics that turn the fight from a skill based dance into a luck base dodge fest. Some boss encounters will randomly spawn additional enemies with no pattern or indication. In fact, one boss is a constant trial of constantly spawning hazards that you have to contend with as you're fighting the boss. There is no way to recognize when or where they will spawn so you may be doing great, only to jump straight into one and it throws your whole tempo off and ramping up the frustration factor. Again, it turns the battle from one of skill into one of luck. Cross your fingers for a good spawning pattern.

    - The lack of respawn points will ensure that the trek back to some bosses is almost as difficult as the boss itself. There are one to two safe areas per zone, give or take, and maybe it will be close to the boss, or maybe it will be through 5 rooms, two of which will have difficult enemies you have to dispatch first. Along with the "fast travel" system being only one per zone, if even that, you'll find yourself.mapping out any journey you take, and you must return to zones multiple times to complete certain tasks. If the map wasn't such a maze with corridors that end and hallways that might not connect, you may find that your mapped out route is blocked and have to find another. With the complexity of the map, the fast travel system could be a bit more robust.

    - I personally enjoy the way they told the story in the game, but your goals are very arbitrary and a lot of people may not know where to go next. As a Dark Souls veteran, im used to finding the path I need to take, but it's not spelled out and very easy to lose your way. With the vast, complex map, it's going to be a lot for people who aren't good with their sense of direction. The game does a pretty good job in herding the player into the right direction. Basically if you haven't been somewhere, try to go. If you still can't get there, try somewhere else until you can. Which is great, but there is a lot of content that isn't explained and only vaguely hinted at. You'll find yourself just randomly going places and trying things until something eventually works.

    Pros
    - Controls are tight.
    - Music is grandiose.
    - Atmosphere is deep and changes frequently.
    - Traversal methods unlock and you will eventually be almost flying from one place to another.
    - Platforming challenges really teach you your potential and your limitations. They test your ability.
    - Fun characters and interactions.
    - Most boss fights are fun and engaging.
    - The game looks phenomenal.
    - It's an explorers dream.

    Fundamentally, Hollow Knight is a very solid title and overall worth the price. I absolutely recommend it. However, it has some glaring flaws that reduce the experience.    … Expand

The background art, the soundtrack, the characterization of the enemies, everything about the game works perfectly to give each zone a unique feel, progressing towards a cohesive picture to the world and its bittersweet story. I absolutely fell in love with the game and its characters, and had a good time all around with both the combat and the platforming.

    Secrets and relevant items all have some sort of glow or sound, which makes locating them viable even if they're sometimes very well hidden, and the game provides multiple movement abilities and special skills to help you traverse locations. It's a lot of fun to gradually unlock access to new zones or reach spots in old places that you previously couldn't, and by the second half of the game you're so attuned to the locations and motions that you can traverse entire zones playing the floor is lava.

    The combat is delightful. Bosses have their own dedicated tracks and unique moves, and are all about having their patterns memorized so you can sneak in attacks without taking damage. The charms and spells you can use also give the combat a lot of variety, so you can customize how to fight.

    Finally, the added DLCs further polish the experience with both quality of life upgrades and actual, amazing new content, including an incredibly hard (but very satisfying) boss rush. Hollow Knight is, without a doubt, one of the best games of the genre, and I'd recommend it to anyone who's even remotely interested in metroidvanias.    … Expand

    Chytil jsem se zde na 35hodin (98% complete). Celou dobu jsem se bavil. Hra by se dala rozdelit na 2 zakladni pilire. Prozkoumavani sveta a souboj s bossy.

    V tezkych soubojich se moc nevyzivam ale tady to nikdy nepreslo do absurdni roviny a zakladni bosove se dali po nejake dobe zvladnout. Samozrejme hra umoznuje dalsi masochysticke hratky v ruznych rezimech ale to uz neni pro mne :)

    Jeste k tomu pruzkumu. Platformovky me vzdycky bavily a tady je to parada. Ovladnout vsechny dovednosti chvili trva a o to je to pak vetsi zadostiuceneni kdyz clovek proskace celou uroven aniz by se ho nekdo dotkl (kde driv ze zacatku dostal na zadek). Navic kdyz clovek sam od sebe najde nejaky poklad (novou schopnost) tak radost z toho nalezeni je super.

    Let's remember some of the most legendary 2D games to date, before Hollow Knight: Super Meat Boy, Rayman Origins/Legends, Ori and the Blind Forest, Hyper Light Drifter, etc.

    Hollow Knight is like the result of every good 2D game ever made channeling all of their energy into a single game, to create the best, most epic, most beautiful 2D game ever.

    There will be moments when you think you are lost, or stuck, and the game can be pretty obtuse about showing you the way forward. But in a non-linear game I think that's inevitable, and it adds to the atmosphere tremendously.

    All in all, the Hollow Knight is a rather difficult adventure in the World... of bugs. ALL who we will meet in the game are different bugs and moths. And EVERYTHING that we will meet is an incredibly beautiful World of the bug's kingdom, divided into completely unique locations, such as zones overgrown with mushrooms and spores, or a deserted dead canyon, or a forest filled with live feral flowers... or small personal worlds in someone's dreams. In addition to the incredibly detailed environment, where even the smallest blade of grass reacts to our hero, this game has beautiful music and other sounds too. And some, in general, I want to keep and listen to again... for example, Emilitia's rude laugh XD
    ...
    Game-play: you get used to it quickly, it is easy to control your character, the buttons are remembered easily too. Very convenient, and compact, inventory and character menu. In fact, something can only be changed in amulets and on the map. Everything is very well done. Except one BUT. In fact, the only thing that greatly saddened in this masterpiece: half of the amulets are rubbish of varying degrees of usefulness. There are only 42 of them, it seems, and they can be divided into three parts: useful, optional, garbage. I won’t talk about useful ones, it’s understandable. Optional - a category of permanently replaced amulets, for different "builds" with some sacrifices due to the price of the slots, since normal ones cannot be inserted. And I threw in the trash all the amulets that have a disproportionate cost of inserting into the slot with their effects, or dumb nerfing(for example, the blood of the hive, which restores only the last HP only if you have not been hit for 10 seconds, or the extremely low poison damage in a stinky amulet). Some amateurs even made "crutches" for these amulets, so that the last third part would not just be for the sake of "funny builds for YouTube", but at least give some usefulness.

    Hollow Knight is a Metroidvania with a well of content to discover that’s as deep as its labyrinthine caves. The world of Hallownest is compelling and rich, full of story that’s left for you to discover on your own, and built with branching paths that offer an absurd amount of choice in how you go about discovering it. With such a high density of secrets to find and fun, challenging enemies to face, it’s worth spending every moment you can in Hollow Knight.

    A very difficult and hand-drawn Metroidvania with an enormous size for players with a lot of patience and a high frustration tolerance.
