Basically this game in a nutshell. Exhilarating boss fights, and the feeling of major accomplishment everytime you beat one, especially if you've been struggling against one for a long time. Huge world to explore, when I still see new areas and enemies/bosses 30 hours into my playthrough; the developers did something right. The story was gibberish to me, but I could'n't care less about it, i just wanted to kill more bosses and find new charms and areas. Warning: this is very much a game inspired by challenging gameplay like dark souls.. so if you don't like those type of games...this one is a tad bit more accessible than a souls game.. just a fyi.
    Also, you're not buying this game for the story or combat, your buying this game for the metroidvania elements and the challenge. I liked it a lot, the reward was worth the frustration.    … Expand

    Amazing Metroidvania world with tight platforming and Dark Soul-esque imposing bosses that are very satisfying to beat. Also a lot of lore to piece together (or let one of the YT channels help you with that).

    This game is amazing, the music, the characters, the smooth controls, even the difficulty is perfect. I love that I had fun while doing the 112%, wich for the most part of the games can be boring or extremely hard, but in Hollow Knight it is an amazing experience doing everything the game offers to you.

    Master Piece. Easily one of the best games of this generation.
    Combat, Plattforming, story and lore as well as the visuals and the sound ist just top notch. Every part complements the others.
    But it also is a soulslike. So basically "get gud" ;)

Cada zona esta muy bien diferenciada de la anterior y cada una tendrá sus ventajas y sus inconvenientes, no puedo hablar mas de las mecánicas en si pues no es que sean algo muy novedoso pero tampoco necesita innovar. El apartado artístico de esta obra es prácticamente insuperable, siendo de los juegos mas bonitos que posiblemente veas, todos y cada uno de los personajes están dibujados a mano y poseen unos diseños muy envidiables, la banda sonora es otro punto a destacar, siendo ambiental a veces y otras sabe las teclas que tiene que tocar para poder realizar la mejor inmersión posible. Respecto a la dificultad el titulo es desafiante pero no desesperante, las luchas contra jefes son de lo mejor que tiene el juego, hay un gran numero de ellas unas mas complicadas que otras pero todas igual de emocionantes. El mapa esta lleno de secretos, posiblemente dentro de todos los juegos que he jugado, este sea el que mas secretos tenga. En cuando a su duración, es un juego largo, a mi me llevo 40 horas sacarlo casi sin contar la ultima expansión la cual aprovecho ya para decir que es una especie de boss rush pero con un mínimo de historia. Ya para terminar he de decir que estoy realmente impresionado de como tan solo dos personas han podido dar vida a semejante joya, es claramente un juego de 70 euros pero por 15 en digital y 35 en físico.… Expand

    Podemos dizer que Hollow Knight, com certeza, é uma destas honrosas exceções. O jogo todo foi desenhado a mão, dando um aspecto extremamente belo de ser, mesmo que possua certa ausência de cores primárias, que dão um ar bem mais sombrio.
    O enredo apresenta o mundo dos insetos, mais especificamente um reino abandonado, no qual a maioria dos insetos apresentaram uma demência devido a um fungo (The Last of Us?) e passam a atacar seres não infectados. O jogador assume o papel de um estrangeiro que usa seu "ferrão" (a espada) para desbravar todas as partes deste reino em colapso, encontrando vários seres amigáveis e inúmeros inimigos e desafios.
    O jogo possui um mapa gigantesco e um alto grau de dificuldade, que foi além dos limites com as dlcs gratuitas aumentando em muitas horas atingir mais de 100% do jogo (sim! MAIS de 100%).
    A empresa australiana indie Team Cherry ganhou notória visibilidade após a criação deste magnífico jogo e já apresentou uma sequência, com um dos NPCs que encontramos em Hollow Knight.

    When I started playing Hollow Knight, I had no idea how much I would grow to love it. I almost quit after exploring a bit since 2D maps are more difficult to memorize than 3D environments. So I quit. But since I liked the animations and the grim setting so much I decided to give it another go. This time I used the map more efficiently which solved my initial problem.
    What is Hollow Knight? Hollow Knight is a 2D Metroidvania game that borrows from the Dark Souls Series. To put it another way, Hollow Knight is a 2D open-world action-adventure game(my interpretation of the genre). Like Dark Souls series you drop all the currency you've got(Geo in this game) on your place of death and if you return to that place again and kill the shade you will get your money back. Similar to Dark Souls, the game is difficult. Not unfairly hard but hard nevertheless. Another similarity is that Benches (Like Bonfires) that restore your health and reset the enemies are few and far between. So you may need to walk a long way back to the boss.
    I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, the game is difficult. The games that take inspiration from Souls series usually are and if you want to play them, you need to have a strong will. The game keeps hitting you down, but you have to get back up again. So I only recommend the game to strong-willed people.
    I think a characteristic of a good game is the feeling that you're always getting stronger. That is the case with this game as well. You start out with a few masks of health and a nail that doesn't do much damage but as you progress you unlock more masks, soul vessels, you acquire better charms and charm notches and your nail hits harder. So you feel empowered. That is until you reach the pantheons and put your skills to the test.
    For the people who are interested in the lore, the game has a beautiful story which similar to Dark Souls isn't told directly to the player.
    The soundtrack is also amazing
    Genre-wise, Hollow Knight is similar to another game named Salt and Sanctuary. I quit SS simply because it lacked any sort of map and the game's system was too difficult to understand. The 2 mistakes Hollow Knight didn't make. It has a functioning map and the game's mechanics are simple to understand.
    Hollow Knight also has platforming as well but these sections are mostly easy until you get to the White Palace .
    So to summarize: Hollow Knight is a difficult but fun game. Interesting visuals, locations, enemy types. Beautiful story, setting, soundtrack, animations.
    Basically, I didn't find anything I wish I could change about the game. It is perfect to me.    … Expand

The ginormous sprawling map hides tons of secrets, items, and upgrades for you to discover. Don't let the cutesy art style fool you, this game gets challenging with boss battles and platforming sections that will give you conniptions. The overarching story is subtle, but your goals are clear. The NPCS you meet along the way all have personalities and a cartoonish charm to their mannerisms. Going for the hidden ending will require you to double your campaign time. This is a game you can sink hundreds of hours into and still never discover all the secrets.

    The bosses are exceptional with amazing designs, and are challenging but not unfair as all their moves are well telegraphed. Overall, combat feels very weighty and responsive as you fight your way through the world. You can also get charms that can give you an edge in fighting and traversal. There are also plenty of interesting characters that either help or hinder your progress through the world.

    Speaking of the world, its one of the best and most immersive I've ever experienced. Hallownest is large and each area has its own style, enemies and music. From the melancholy music and sombre atmosphere of the City of Tears to the sheer bright beauty of Crystal Peak. Hats off to the visual style and hand drawn animations that help with the immersion and beauty of the world.

    The story and lore of Hollow Knight is very much show, don't tell. It is very rich and tells the story of a fallen civilisation and a great evil hiding in the cracks and depths of this world.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. =DISCLAIMER=
    =I have beaten the base game, got the three endings available in the base game but have yet to playthrough the free DLC for the game for the most part!=
    =LIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD=

    Hollow knight has got to be one of the best games of this generation of consoles. What with its unique blend of exploration and (I'm gonna wince saying this so I'm only gonna say it once) "Souls Like" combat system, its truly a game anyone can enjoy.
    Whilst its gameplay is somewhat on the difficult side, what with some of the bosses being pretty hard near the end of the game (Nightmare King Grimm I'm looking squarely at you) for the most part it shouldn't be too much of a problem, unless you aren't very good at platforming games. This is because of hollow knights unique health system, where you gain "SOUL" from attacking enemies that can be used to heal yourself or cast spells you unlock later in the game. This creates an interesting risk vs reward system, as you can chose if you want to directly attack an enemy or save up SOUL to heal later. The combat is somewhat simplistic, you can strike people with your "nail" both horizontally and vertically, and do the pogo-bounce thing from the duck tales game. You unlock a dodge later, making combat even more interesting.
    Exploration is a key part in this game, having abilities and movement upgrades necessary to progress hidden throughout the games expansive world, the "hollownest". Exploration is fun, as controlling the knight is easy. Locations stick out, from the dreary crossroads to the melancholy city of tears or the genuinely unnerving darknest no place seems dull or uninteresting. Other notable locations include the hive and the kingdoms edge, as they also look amazing.
    The games art style is something to behold, what with everything being hand drawn to the fact all of the characters are unique insects, lending itself to bizarre designs that are totally unique. This helps the locations pop out and feel unique, as nowhere looks poorly designed and you can tell love was poured into the art of this game.
    The sound design is flawless. From the swift nail slash to the perfect soundtrack, nothing seems out of place. The soundtrack both sounds great and fits the mood of the location / situation perfectly, and it doesn't just seem cobbled together. This gives the areas a grandiose sense of scale whilst exploring, and makes the bosses incredibly intense.
    My only real gripe with this game is the plot. Whilst the plot itself is good, you have to deal with the fact the game has a real hard time actually telling you it. You get drip fed lore at a snails pace (pun not intended) and that's painful, as the games story is really good. I would recommend taking a look at the wiki after getting the radiance ending if you don't get what's going on and you care enough. The plot isn't integral to enjoying the game, just provides context for what's actually going on.

    TL;DR
    The games amazing buy it.    … Expand

    I finally played this on PS5 and I have to say I really enjoyed it. I love the art style of the game and the story is good. The world is certainly expansive with lots of shortcuts to cut down on travel time in the late game. It still is a huge world though so even with the amp can be easy to get lost.

    How do i even begin to do this game justice? Let me start with my negatives since that's a very short list. It can be punishingly difficult and tedious, particularly in the opening hours of the game.

It can be punishingly difficult and tedious, particularly in the opening hours of the game. In the opening, you don't have a lot of abilities so traversal and combat is not that fun and because of this, it can be boring to explore the map. And you'll constantly be running into dead ends and not knowing where to go. It took me more than a month to play the first 10 hours of the game because of this. I wouldn't be surprised if people outright dropped the game because of this. Also, the way safe spots and dying works can feel extremely punishing. Especially considering the fact that there's only one set difficulty.

    But once you start finding your way around and gain a few upgrades, the game becomes addicting. That's when you start to truly appreciate the atmosphere, beautiful art design, intricate world building and charming set of side characters you meet along the way. The platforming becomes so satisfying that you actively want to move around and test your skills in new areas. That obviously comes with the added incentive of finding new secrets and even more upgrades in the areas you explore. The combat opens up to a point where it's not just fun, but also versatile thanks to the charm system. It has the best boss fights i have ever played and there is a natural progression in difficulty between them. I felt proud of myself every-time i beat one. And WOW, THE MUSIC! All i'll say is i listen to parts of this soundtrack from time to time. And i somehow forgot to mention that the story is great.

    This is an amazing game. Even at full price i'd have called it a bargain but i got with PS+ so basically free. Some have said it's a 35 hour game but i've plunged 150+ into it and i'm still not tired of it. I came close to dropping it myself but i'm glad i stuck with it.

    Hollow Knight genuinely surprised me, from a small indie company I wouldn't have expected such a polished experience.

Throughout my journey through Hallownest I fought through what felt like a huge variety of enemies and bosses, which was challenging to say the least and definitely made me want to quit on more than one occasion, but fighting through the blind hatred and defeating each boss made me feel more and more satisfied with my progression even when I thought I had hit a wall, and collecting the massive arsenal of charms and abilities that I earned from exploring every nook and cranny, made me feel like I was getting better and better while my timing and use of spells improved over time.
    The story of Hollow Knight was one that took me some time to get used too, without a quest board to guide me I definitely felt lost at times, but with the drive to explore the amazing environments that could completely change the tone of the game in an instant, I was able to get really enveloped in the story of the Hollow Knight.
    The community surrounding Hollow Knight is one that cares greatly about the detail and deep lore, I have enjoyed spending hours surfing its reddit and YouTube to find Easter eggs and theories about the characters, as well as the incredibly strong community of artists who have created some of the most impressive art I've seen, which all added to my overall experience and drove me to push through the difficulties to complete the game and experience everything it had to offer.
    The music is a such a big part of Hollow Knight as they have beautifully handcrafted each fight with its own musical piece, which I have began to listen to outside of the game and have grown to really appreciate the alluring symthany and how it instantly immerses me in the environment I am exploring.
    In conclusion, the world of Hollow Knight is one filled with great challenges and a mysterious beauty, with the art style being so unique and the music being exceptional throughout my journey, it all combined together to great an incredible game with a sentimental and exciting story, which makes me incredibly excited for what team cherry has for the future!    … Expand

    - Lacks of fast travel.
    - No exp system

    In sum, Hollow knight has solid score 8 out of 10 for me. The difficulty is merciless, so if you are casual, stay away from this game. If you like hard games like darksouls, and don't mind 2D action games, you should give it a try.    … Expand

    HK has nice graphics and some interesting elements of game desing like the charms and pnj interaction etc... coming from dark souls, transposed in a 2d world, but navigation is way too much tortured, and too much plateform jumps, Salt and Sanctuary was better even if the graphics were lower.
    This game proved that turning a 3d game into a 2d game isn't a so good idea.

    Making such a long way from the bench to the boss is terribly stupid designed especially for the bee boss. When you lose all your geo's that took hours to farm because of that it makes the game everything but not funny. Terrible misstake deserve terrible rating.

    I gave it a chance. Didn't like it. It has charm. There's a certain sense of satisfaction from progressing through the game, but overall I didn't feel it was rewarding enough past a certain point. Slogging through areas over and over gets really tedious. Combat gets old. I don't have to give high praise to a game just because it's indy and modest.

The harsh difficulty, where even just traversing the world can be really challenging, combined with the shade mechanic (where you lose all your money when you die twice without recovering your shadow) and the absolute insane distances between individual benches and fast-travel points really make this game a pain in the ass to play. One of those factors alone (or maybe two, at the very most), I could have handled just fine, but to have all three of them together in a single game is just insanity. It's just NO FUN to die to a difficult boss and having to traverse minutes of terrain again, just to arrive and get killed again without collecting your shade, thereby losing hundreds or even thousands of coins. There is a bank in the game where you can deposit coins, but if you backtrack to that every time you collect a signifcant amount of money, you might as well kill yourself.… Expand

It seems to thrive on a popularity of difficulty, but difficulty does not a good game make.

    The boss fights are overrated. They all have high difficulty, some especially. Basically, they are bullet sponges with different patterns. Some of them move off-screen during the fight because the camera is too tight. Enemy hitboxes are bad. I have vidcaps of "missing" an enemy through whom my nail clearly intersected. Some bosses spawn projectiles….in mid-air…even AFTER you jump in the air a projectile could spawn in your path that wasn’t there WHEN YOU JUMPED. Some say the fights are hard but fair, but some are very cheap. I didn’t find any of them that creative. It all makes for tedious, repetitive, trial-and-error fights for anyone less than A-grade skill who likes reflex tests and has the controls down as 2nd nature. Unfortunately for my average skills, I played multiple boss fights 10x and more. There was little sense of accomplishment. I only won because I grinded out muscle memory. I got gud but it still wasn't fun.

    The save benches are too far between. Poor design. Forcing players to replay long tedious sections of a game is a bad way to get a player back in the action. It rips the player out of the flow. And it removes the player from the section where the last death occurred, making it needlessly more difficult to remember whatever dumb pattern you were just beginning to learn to get past a certain section. Other games avoid distant checkpoints, such as Metroid Dread or Bloodstained. Bad checkpoint design is a feature of Hollow Knight.

    Jumpnastics sections—part of what makes the bench distances even worse is some of the game has ridiculous jump dash gymnastic sections requiring precise timing and motions. There are sections that involve bouncing off the top of rubber mushrooms or whatever, and you have to do a downward slash as you land to get the extra vertical height off the bounce—sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn’t. I would swing down while landing and he wouldn’t do it. The window for precision is too narrow. Tedious, tedious, tedious. This screws up the timing of the dash you are supposed to make right after bouncing, and thus a trip to an acid bath below. Elsewhere, a single miss results in collision with thorny growth and a full notch of damage (because the protagonist is a pitiful weakling). And then the game removes the opportunity to replay these jumpnastic sections by sending the player back to a bench several minutes away. This is garbage design. The only workaround to these sections is getting the hiveblood charm—which I didn’t know about until way late. You can somewhat cheese the jumnastics by waiting 12 seconds for your last mask to heal thanks to the hiveblood. This allows you to redo jumps again fairly quick, with same number of masks, instead of getting killed and plodding your way back.

    The hero is incredibly weak. Everything gives costs him a mask, even bumping toes with an enemy. You’ll take a hit but the enemy won’t. His offense is awful too. It takes forever to level up his weapon. Most bosses are mid to upper hundreds in HP or over 1000, so even his maxed out nail will need to get in like 30 hits to win. So basically he just gets killed all the time until he can do fights with no/low damage, sneaking in heals when trial and error teaches you when. The game is mostly just not fun.
    ​
    When you die, you lose your geo coin things. To get them back, you have to re-kill your own shadow ghost in the death area. If you die before reaching it, you lose all geo and possibly hours of collecting in the process. This refusal to let the player keep his progress is garbage. Sometimes the ghost appears farther in a section than the player made it before, making it easy to get killed before reaching the ghost again, and losing all geo. The ghost location is garbage. You can overcome this shortcoming by paying a grub to teleport your ghost, but that wouldn’t be so needed without the goofy ghost spawn positioning. Some say geo doesn’t matter late in the game but this isn’t true, especially if you’ve lost geo due to the 2x kill trap. To update the fragile charms, you need a combined 36,000 geo.

    Even the map is a tedious affair, and unnecessarily so. You want a map of the environment? You gotta buy it. You want benches marked on the map? Gotta buy that too. You want fast travel locations marked on the map? Yes, you have to buy that separately also. Can this "hero" just mark anything he wants with the “quill” he supposedly has and be done with it? You want to see where you are on the map? Gotta use a charm slot. The game is an utter hassle to navigate.

    I can scarcely think of a redeeming quality to this game other than perhaps it didn’t crash and there is some decent scenery    … Expand

There are good things about this game, good map, different style of storytelling, character designs, etc. But, I don't think the game system is fair and balanced, it's punishing system discourage players to play through the game, and action and movement are quite stiff to me.

The art style is gorgeous, the music is delightful and the gameplay is typically tight and responsive. There are 2 main things holding this game back though.

    1: It’s easy to get lost in, and not in a good way. The game just throws you into its vast underground labyrinth with absolutely no indication of where to go or what to do. You’ll spend a lot of time backtracking through the same sections of the map because you have no idea where you’re going. Or you don’t have the necessary skills to advance yet. Once the novelty of the art wears off this can become incredibly tedious and boring. Not to mention the map in this game is atrocious and you will have to spend time grinding just to buy basic things for it like a simple compass.

    2: This game does not respect your time. When you die (which will be often), you will respawn at one of the sparse save points on the map. These are typically very far from the location of the boss that just killed you so it can add up to a good chunk of time spent walking back through the enormous map just to make another attempt at a difficult boss. This does not take long to become a frustrating and tiresome endeavor. Not to mention that this game borrows the souls mechanic of losing all of your money when you die. So you have to return to your previous point of death where you will fight a shade of yourself to reclaim your belongings. And if you die before you can reach it, there goes all the money you spent hours collecting. It just feels like a way to artificially pad out the length of the game by making something difficult that really doesn’t need to be.

    There were a few other gripes I had with this game. It’s opening hour or two feels like a slog, Your character feels vastly underpowered compared to everything around him and the combat, while responsive and fun, isn’t really that complex and starts to feel boring after a while. There are also some very cheap deaths scattered throughout that feel less like a challenge and more like a cheap way to punish the player.
    I don’t usually quit on a game that I’ve put 5-6 hours into but Hollow Knight just began to feel more like a chore to play than a fun game. Which is a shame because there are things about it that I really love. The hype has really oversold this game in my opinion. If you like games that are truly punishing and require a lot of time and repetition sunk into them to get it right, than Hollow Knight might be right up your alley. For everyone else this game will feel more like a chore than anything resembling a fun video game.    … Expand

    Arte e design simples e linda, jogabilidade muito boa, história ótima e uma dificuldade balanceada (na minha perspectiva) em grande parte do jogo. Um metroidvania impecável e melhores do que muitos por aí, simplesmente meu jogo preferido.
